Comments on: Tadd Fujikawa Playing in the 2008 Sony Open http://taddfujikawanews.com/2007/12/03/tadd-fujikawa-playing-in-the-2008-sony-open/ News and Updates about the Golf career of Tadd Fujikawa Sun, 06 Sep 2009 02:58:01 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc hourly 1 By: Andy Brown http://taddfujikawanews.com/2007/12/03/tadd-fujikawa-playing-in-the-2008-sony-open/comment-page-1/#comment-56 Andy Brown Sun, 27 Jan 2008 15:09:17 +0000 http://taddfujikawanews.com/2007/12/03/tadd-fujikawa-playing-in-the-2008-sony-open/#comment-56 Much like the Irish are going gaga over Rory McIlroy, a lot has been talked and said about this young lad Tadd Fujikawa. He already has a bunch of incredible feats to his name. He became the youngest golfer to qualify for the U.S. Open in almost 70 years and also went on to become the second youngest golfer to make the cut in a PGA event just a few days after his 16th birthday. Till not so long ago most people would have talked of him as the second most famous export from Hawaii to the golfing world but looking at the direction in which her game is headed it will be no surprise if she is sidelined and all focus will be purely on Tadd. Of course there are many who question his idea of turning pro and since he has not set many tournaments on fire people are bound to be a little skeptical especially considering the way in which Michelle Wie’s career is unfolding. Ron Sirak argues that great performance must not be mistaken for greatness and he goes on to explain that point where in he adds that “isolated achievement must not be viewed as sustain brilliance”. Perhaps he has a very strong point. But then the media is so desperately seeking heroes that their judgment might be blinded by their desperation for new stars.

I followed him and watched that putt on the 18th hole that qualified him and it was definitely a golden moment. We join you in wishing Tadd Fujikawa luck in the Sony Open.
