Weekend Wrap: Australian Open, Hero, NBC

I think people watching golf want to see the unexpected, but we, too, often get the opposite…a blast off the tee, the ball doesn't bounce more than a few metros after it lands and the next one sticks in the green like a dart in the dartboard. That's boring; not like getting a bad lie and watching them get out of the predicament they themselves got into. That gives joy to people. PETER THOMSON
