Just to add one more comment. You know a lot of people will make fun of these guys, call them chokers, and the media will have a field w/ them. I honestly feel really bad for Goosen, like I felt for Norman. If you listened to Retief Tuesday, here's a guy who desperately wanted to be recognized more and included in the top 3 or 4 players in the world, and was so close. And after missing those short putts on the first few holes, his confidence just totally disappeared and everything changed. And I really feel for the guy b/c he's a great guy and great player that just didn't have it, and unforuately it cost him a lot, and he may never be viewed the same. Now he's close to dropping to 6th in the world. Norman never truly recovered from his collapse, and I just hope Goosen can recover from this, 'cause this will be in the back of his mind for a while.
