dchallenger: Aren't the conditions the same for EVERYone?
No, they're not and that's exactly the point. These guys play at a level you can't even being to appreciate and I dream about. The conditions in this case cost the player the tourney and that's his valid point-the conditions aren't the same for everybody.
Not hard to get his point, we just exist in a different level of the game. The thing is, that complaint has been around since the beginning. I laugh when I remember what one of the biggest reasons for having random winds was-they were afraid players would blab the holes and manipulate the results. This is a perfect example of why they're random. Derek's been on the other side. ;-)
