Yes, it's a bit of surprise that Shin won against Ochoa.
The golf writers don't have to go by the exact numbers in the score.
And so often, an award is given in expectation of the future,
not necessarily according to what had happened.
(Just like the Nobel Prize given to Obama)I am glad that the Golf Writers Association of America recognized it and decided for Shin.

"Don't cry for me, America. I' shall return to re-conquer the world" , Tiger exclaimed. -

There seems to be a lot of happy, excited, gossippy people all over,
but I have not seen anyone crying for Tiger.
Maybe, he can easily re-conquer the world but it may be just a "김빠진" victory.
It was one giant "helluva" self-destruction. He successfully beat himself. -

Tiger is just one of Imperfect-Perfect cases in the history of mankind.
Woods와 Roberts는 따논 당상이라 생각했고 신지애 선수가
오초아를 누루고 따낸것은 사실 pleasant surprise 였읍니다.
신지애 선수가 신인으로서 3승했고 '올해의 선수'경쟁에서도
마지막 putt으로 결정한것을 기자들이 감안한것 같습니다.
1998년 박세리 선수가 받은 이래 한국선수로서는 두번째 영광을
얻어낸 신지애 선수에게 박수를 보냅니다. 규정
