You Know What I Hate?
Naming rights. I wish that this week was the LA Open, or at worst the LA Open presented by Northern Trust, not the Northern Trust Open. This history of these events is sullied by removing the traditional names. That's part of why I can stomach the ATT Pebble Beach Pro-Am, but I hate the FBR Open.
The PGA Tour does a disservice to its events by selling out. I understand the motives, but I hate it nonetheless. Serve the history, give a shout out to the sponsors as an afterthought, not as a headline.
KJ Choi is rocking the leaderboard right now.
