Title: Houston Cup
Post by: crip17 on April 20, 2006, 08:42:15 PM
I had a nice little wager on Darren Clarke for this.     20 mins ago i checked the leaderboard and he was right there at the top and finished the day -4,   2 off the lead.     5 minutes leader i was looking at the leaderboard again and he was gone.  lol.     I thought wtf is going on here.   I then looked at the botom of the board and it says he has 'withdrawn'.      I don't get it ????????

I just found out it is because of his wife heather who has cancer and got bad test results back.  Kind a puts things into perspective. Hope everying will be OK.   As soon as i saw the withdrawal it was the first thing i thought.

No, once a player tee's off on the first hole he is deemed to have started the event and is therefore classed as a runner. If he had withdrawn 10 minutes before he tee'd off then yes he would have got his money back. I picked two selections for this event on Monday, Mike Weir and Jonathan Byrd - unfortunately J.Byrd withdrew on Wednesday so at least i'll have some return this weekend!
