Faves : Hard one. Know too many of them
Padraig Harrington [good friend; even visited me in hospital]
after him the rest are all tight ...
Sergio Garcia [can be brusque; but can also be very affectionate, warm ...great hugger]
Then comes Paul McGinley, Christian Cevaer and a host of others
Least fave:
Faldo
Daly
Clarke [very fond of his family, though]
Wow...that's surprising, cause Huston has a rep of being one of the nicest, if not the nicest guy on PGA Tour.
No way! My sister has for years volunteered as a score girl at the canadian Open. None of the girls ever want to score for Houston or Weir. She has scored for both and dreads getting in either's group.
Favorites
Scott Hoch - Always compaining; seemed to be a whiner
.
I saw one of the worst acts of spotsmanship with Hoch. 2001 Masters on the Thurs or Friday. We are standing on the 15th Tee. Faldo and Hoch head over from 14 and Faldo's towel seems like it is covered in mud. When he gets closer we realize it's blood. Figured he cut himself or something.
Anyway as he goes to place his tee in the ground his nose starts dripping blood. Quite bad too. He grabs the towel and cleans up. He jokes about how the fans don't realize that golf is a contact sport.
He cleans up re-tee's and just as he goes to start his back swing another flood of blood.. He apologizes to everyone and I look over to Hoch. He is giving the big eye roll and tapping his foot in a real exagerated way. Faldo again is apologizing and telling the fans its an alergy problem he has in spring.
He finally gets a good drive away and Hoch hits and off they go.
My friend reminds me that faldo beat Hoch in a playoff at the Masters. Ha Ha Ha.

I'm hard pressed to think of a third one... I'll leave this one blank so if any tour players are reading this they don't get offended because they're on this list and don't belong on it.
Favorites: Tiger, Ernie, Davis Love
Least Favorites: Morgan Pressel (whines), Sergio (watching him on the greens hurts my eyes), Monty (is there a reason why he always scrunches his face?)
faves- tiger, phil, wier (gotta love the fellow lefties) i like others but had to choose 3
hate-faxon, faxon, and faxon. I have had 2 personal run ins with this loser and he has been a complete and total jerk to me and my friends both times. Once i was playing bay hill in the middle of the week and he happened to be there. he was playing in front of us and was unbearably slow. As we made the turn his caddy asked if we wanted to play through i said sure thanks, to which he snaps "you better keep it in play and not hold me up". to which i reply "im 3 under you worry bout yourself."
the next time was at a pratice round at TPC my old HS golf coach and i were there and pros were regulary giving away balls while walking off of 17. Well hes got about 3 balls in each hand walking off the green and my golf coach asks for a ball like everyone else was. He literaly stops and looks at him and goes "are you good enough to play this course? why should i give you a ball" and walks off. im pretty sure he recognized me cause his caddy whispered something in his ear while looking and pointing in my direction. I was ticked at this point and yelled out "yeah ive seen you off the tee, your right you better hold onto those extra balls with water on the left of 18" the whole crowd was kinda in shock about how he treated us and laughed out loud when i yelled that back at him. I wonder to this day if i beat him at bay hill. i ended up 3 under for the day. i guess ill never know. people tell me that hes a nice guy but ive ran into him twice and both times he was unprovoked and still treated us with disrespect.
