Holmes -- notes from Sports Illustrated (2/13/06)

[h.s.sportsrbest]

Some random comments from this week's SI:

 

** "...This was the second coming of John Daly, except that Holmes has a brain, a killer instinct and grace under pressure." (page G5)

 

** "I only played with him once...and he hit it a hundred yards past me...I purposely didn't play with him again because it's too depressing..." Steve Flesch on J.B. Holmes (page G5)

 

** "I'm telling you, he's going to make the Ryder Cup team -- this year." Steve Flesch (page G5)

 

** Top 100 Teachers' Poll ranked Holmes the best player on Tour under age 25. He received 56%, Ryan Moore received 24% and Sean O'Hair received 20%. (page G11)

 

** "J.B. Holmes will win again in '06, and also qualify for and contend at the Masters." Farrell Evans (page G14)

 

============================================

 

At least he isn't facing unrealistic expectations too early in his career. :creepy:

How many tournaments has he won?

[h.s.sportsrbest]

1 out of 4 starts. Like I was saying, at least everyone is keeping that win in proportion.

I was looking for a 'rhetorical' icon but could not find one.

Where is this in SI? I've looked cover to cover and don't see it.

You have to be a Golf Plus subscriber, note the page numbers begin with a "G."

OK. I could not find any page starting with G. I thought you had a typo or something.

 

So, its an insert into the regular SI?

[h.s.sportsrbest]

It is not an insert per se, meaning it doesn't come out. It is "running pages" in the magazine, yes.

A typo I repeated 5 times?
