Rory Being Rory?

Hello. Rory Sabbitini doesn't care what anyone thinks. Period. He makes Vijay Singh's past runins with the media seem like a Kumbaya festival.
Rory, in case you didn't hear, withdrew from the Target World Challenge sometime after the 3rd round. The story varies at this point. Some say Saturday afternoon, others say Sunday morning. Was it because of shin splints, or for personal reasons.
The outcry has been great. Rory is disrespecting Tiger Woods, the tournament host. Rory's the first person in the event's history to withdraw. He shouldn't get the $170,000 the last place finisher receives no matter how many rounds are played.
Please, spare me. What Rory did was within the rules. If you don't like the last place money rule, change it. If you want him to have to make an "official" report as to why he's leaving (complete with doctor's note?), then make that a rule. If someone just leaves, maybe they can't play in a major or something.
It seems the top players are the last ones to complain about Rory, as they hold events hostage weekly.

Regards,
Steve
