Ishikawa said through an interpreter.

Isn't he the poster boy for that English learning company?

Plus, if he shot his age, he'd have a score of 19 for a round. Pretty good, considering that would be at least 17 holes-in-one. i.e. That first sentence needs some cleaning up, I think.

He is - it was kind of funny last week, he was being interviewed and clearly completely understood everything being asked as he responded in Japanese without his translator saying a word.

And shooting his age at age 19 - wow! That would have been a record to say the least. Isn't 57 or 58 the current record? 19 would be awesome.

So Ryo and Tiger are both done - I see John Daly is right by Tiger. Maybe they three of them can go play a round together on Saturday. Probably get better ratings than the actual tournament.

Maybe he was upset and didn't want to speak in English.

Ouch is right. One week he's world-class, the next week he's bringing up the rear. Golf can really be a cruel game.
