"Happy about the way things are going . . . "?

That statement suggests an indifference on the part of the player (and his coach). No competitor worth his salt is satisfied with the status quo, no matter how high his rank among his peers. Brian did not win this year -- at least not yet -- and I can assure you he is far from "happy" about that situation.

But, to suggest as you did that a scoring average of 70.70 and Official Money of almost $1.4 million is playing poorly and that such a performance can only be explained by being hurt or forgetful is a slap in the face.

No need to apologize. These are free forums, and you are entitled to your opinion. But, don't be surprised when a response bears the same edge as the question.

I'm not sure what to say, to get out of this mess I have got myself into. I never suggested he is playing poorly, but perhaps not up to his very best (for we all know what that can be). Sorry.
