Brandel Chamblee has answers to the Morikawa call

Brandel Chamblee says the act of Collin Morikawa not to talk to the media after last week’s Arnold Palmer Invitational was putting “a dangerous precedent” for himself, and hinted at a sense of law.

Paul McGinley, meanwhile, seconds the last point, then thought about the interaction of players with reporters in general.

“It’s not about smiley faces and everyone wins,” he said.

Comments, said Friday at Golfcontinued a back and forth between Morikawa and Golf Chamblee and McGinley analysts, and Pro Rocco intermediate. It was lit last Sunday, when Morikawa bypassed talking to the media after finishing second in Arnold Palmerwhich drew the anger of Chamblee and McGinley, also ex -players, and intercede – and their thoughts led to a Uncompromised Answer by Morikawa On Friday after his player championship the second round.

“I just want to add one thing. I can bite my tongue after saying this, but for Brandel Chamblees, to Paul McGinleys, to Rocco Medias of the World, I do not regret anything I said. You know, it may have been a little harsh that I owe no one, but I don’t owe anyone.

“I respect the fans. I am very grateful to them. I am grateful. It makes me exciting, but it’s right – it hurts to hear people say this, and especially you guys, because I finished round and went to go for 10 minutes, 15 minutes for all people behind. No single person from the media went to follow me because, I don’t know. But that is me.

“So for people to call me out – it’s interesting. Simply, she doesn’t show anything. I mean, look, I get what you are saying guys. But I was there.

Friday evening, Morikawa comments appeared GolfAnd Chamblee and McGinley were asked to respond.

“Interesting that he called myself and Paul and Rocco for this,” Chamblee said. “We weren’t. He didn’t tell us no. He told no fans. He told no sponsors. Saying no for PGA Tour. He is saying no to his other players who do these interviews. “

Analyst singled out Jack Nicklaus and Nancy Lopez as players who talked after losses.

“Everyone has been tuned and engaged,” Chamblee said Golf. “Golf has never been better. We are all. The puree is high high and makes sense that has a right, so that they owe nothing to anyone. And he expressed what many people suspected many tournament players.

“It’s not true for all of them. Many of them are great with the media and give us these interviews afterwards. But puts a dangerous precedent. And if he really feels that way, it’s good, it’s his opinion. I have mine. He has his own. But I think he will regret if he continues to give up the media after being lost because he is so good, he will have a lot of more painful losses. He will have many other victories, but he is only part of the game. “

McGinley further the opinion of the “right”, saying it is “a view of many of the public”.

“So it’s a word of care for players more than anything else you, you know, don’t go out and say something like that, I don’t owe anything to anyone because it doesn’t sound good,” he said Golf. “Maybe it was a wrong choice of words, but don’t say anything like that.

“It does not sound properly and it is not what the public wants to hear because after all, the public is those who pay the highest prices to come to the event. The public is the ones who are denied all the best players who gather more regularly in terms of the main events as the golf product is diluted. And the media is a prism for all.”

McGinley also named a player.

“Maybe the most memorable interview I can remember in professional golf was one of the loss, not by victory,” he said. “And was Rory Mcilroy In a ryder cup in whistle straitsWhen he jumped at the end of, you know, a poor performance from Europe up there. And this is the raw and humanized emotion Rory and the humanized humanized players. And, although it’s a difficult thing to do, it’s a very, very positive view of professional players.

“It’s not about the smile faces and everyone wins. Should be given and get for everyone. “

In particular, mcilroy did not speak to the reporters Last year after finishing the race in the US Open.

As for Morikawa, he started the third round of Saturday in the player championship two back of the lead.
