Whos had a bigger letdown, ex-Ryder Cupper Taylor or ex-Masters boy wonder Kuchar?
I’m not sure you can classify either as a disappointment; Kuchar simply got too much hype too early while Taylor is more of a Ben Crenshaw type, a terrific putter whose ballstriking is inconsistent a lot of the time. I think they’re just playing to the levels they should play to. Neither is a future superstar, just solid pros. Shipnuck: Frankly, it’s hard to get worked up about either. Herre: Kuchar has to have the flattest swing on Tour. He’s an engaging guy, and fans love that Mickelson-like grin he’s always wearing. Evans: Kuchar vs. Taylor typifies the malaise of this fall series. It’s boring and the golf is mediocre. Hack: It ain’t Ali vs. Frazier, that’s for sure.
