Rory Sabbatini decided that his five under first round at The Players Championship was good enough reason for him to do something stupid. Sabbatini called out Tiger Woods, calling him “more beatable than ever.” We have a term for what you did here Rory, it’s called sticking your head into the Lion’s mouth.

This is a ridiculous claim. Maybe if Tiger followed up his disappointing performance at Augusta with another loss, Sabbatini might have a point. The problem is, Tiger followed up his disappointment with a victory at the Wachovia Championship, proving again that he is still the most dominant in the game. And to add to the irony, Sabbatini was one of the ones who got pounded last weekend, losing by five shots. It is also quite good timing that Sabbatini decided now is a good time to call out Tiger instead of say, on a Sunday when they are competing against each other.

Sabbatini should probably take his three career victories and go wander off to play on a different tour. He won’t win this weekend, he probably won’t win next weekend either. He hasn’t done enough to get to the point where he can open his mouth at will. In fact, he hasn’t done enough to get to the point where he can open his mouth at all when it comes to Tiger.
