Uihlein Backs Callaway

Titliest boss Wally Uilhein has backed the position of his arch rival Ely Callaway on the question currently polarising American golf - between
conforming and non-conforming golf equipment, and which should be introduced to new participants.

"Clearly, we have a fractured situation," Uihlein said. "There are regulatory bodies that think the game is at risk. I don't want to get into one set of rules or five sets of rules. It really starts with the ideology or philosophy of 'Is the game at risk?' I don't think it is."

Uilhein continued: "It's interesting this year that Tiger is lapping the
field. He's shooting 12 under and the average score of everybody else is
three over. You heard the voices muffled that technology is ruining the game.
If technology were ruining the game, the results would be closer. We kind of
like it when he laps the field because everybody says, 'Gee, it must be the
player and not the technology."
