I don't know. I wonder how much he (and Phil) internalize the tradition and the history of the sport. It is (or it was) pretty magical to stand in the gallery surrounding the #1 tee box at Augusta as they called out the honorary starting threesome. Lot's of reverence accrued to those three players. I would think that would be hard to turn your back on. I mean, I would take any reverence, any at all, even from my dog. <sigh>
