Steve Elling reports the rarely-sarcastic or skeptical Luke Donald has called the PGA Tour's decision to delay a Player of the Year ballot mailing "sketchy."
Speaking Tuesday morning on the Golf Channel, Donald said he was less than thrilled to learn that, instead of mailing Player of the Year ballots to his peers this week, the tour elected to push back the mailings until next month because a quasi-official event has yet to be played in China.
Donald characterized the decision as "sketchy," perhaps the most generous term he could have mustered. Boneheaded might have been more accurate.
By any measure, it was a serious Shanghai Surprise.
