    Walking off the 9th green and not finishing the tournament is not going to be very good for his public relations.

    Definitely having a bad day at seven over par, but not very professional in my opinion. He is going to draw a ton of criticism.

    And he should draw a lot of criticism. That's extremely unprofessional, people and sponsors pay him a lot of money to go out and give it his best go...sure sometimes you don't have it but you take it like a man and finish the job.

    He probably hates that Nike Equipment he sold his soul for.
    He claims he had a toothache. Maybe the tour needs a full time dentist. Any volunteers?

    He was looking a little down-in-the-mouth, but there's no excuse. He knows the drill...

    If he was really experiencing pain (wisdom tooth) why did he not mention this to the reporters? I still think it was a bad decision.

    Today, many are questioning the wisdom of his withdrawal and are trying to extract more information from him. This certainly will impact his public image.

    I wonder if the bite on the greens had anything to do with it.
