Commentators present good news
Thanks to television reporters Judy Rankin and Todd Lewis for doing their research and getting some candid responses from Greg Norman and Richard S Johnson.
Rankin started things off earlier in the day when she told Norman that he had qualified for next year's Masters with a T-4 finish. This was immediately following Norman's statement that he doubted he'd be playing much after the next few tournaments. Norman said:
Oh really? That surprised me, I wasn’t even thinking about anything like that. But that’s good to know.
On the other side of the pond, TGC's Todd Lewis told Richard Johnson after his win at the U.S. Bank Championship that he had qualified for not only the Mercedez Benz next year, but also the PGA Championship. Johnson said:
Am I really? I didn’t know. Wow, that’s awesome.
The quotes don't do justice to their reactions, but they were elated.
