The good news is his second place finish at Bay Hill was enough to bump Tiger out of the number one spot.
Vijay is finally showing us that he's human and not a machine.
Strike the pose Vijay.

Vijay the Choker
The last two weeks Vijay has had major chokes to lose tournaments. At the Honda Classic he missed a very short putt to lose the playoff. This week at Bay Hill he dumped it into the water to lose the tourney.
The good news is his second place finish at Bay Hill was enough to bump Tiger out of the number one spot.
Vijay is finally showing us that he's human and not a machine.
Strike the pose Vijay.

Alright here we go again.
1.Dude you yourself are a dick.
2.Vijay has spent more time practiceing his game in the last year than you will in your life, and he has spent more time practiceing in the last year than you will spend with your wife for the next 20.
3.The thing that you need to understand is that he made it and is makeing a killing playing golf, and your what some 10 handicaper piece of shit who doesnt take the time to relize that he himself is a dick.
4.See the thing is is that Tour pros arent born with scratch handicaps, they work for them, not sit around dream about how they would one day break 80, Vijay works his ass off, its a bitch to even hold ascratch Handicap for more than 3 rounds.
DICK indeed learn what your talking about before you run off your mouth please
Vijay Only lost at Bay Hill because he went for the pin instead of playing safely to the left.
Hats off to Vijay for trying to win it in regulation instead of playing safe and going to a playoff. It took guts to hit it on the line he chose.
I'm not a Vij fan (but may becomeone if he starts treating people better), but I can tell you his shot on 18 was perfect. But sometimes perfect shots don't yield perfect results, and vice versa. That's golf (and life, too).
I've played that shot several times. It always plays longer than you think. Hs fade into the tight flag got caufght by the wind my one yard more than he had real estate. It's too bad (for him), but the shot iself was absolutely perfect.
Either way, Kenny Perry is just such a nice person. It's nice to see him win.
I don't know what you guys know about Vijay, but he is an absolutely sterling guy. He's got more character in him than all these other guys combined.
Sure, Mickelson can flash that cute smile and act all prettyboy, and Tiger is always the diplomatic corporate shill, and Els,
is just well, Els. They aren't bad guys. But there isn't anyone on the pro tour who remotely had to deal with the brutal stuff Vijay had to deal with. Your perspective is very different when you come from that kind of a background, and there is a cultural valley too, that journalists and most of America just doesn't get.
It's just not an Indian or a Fijian or an Asian thing to wish people and be chatty and be informal.
Vijay is professional. Its respectful of
the game. Loving the game and it's history to work at it, and having the humility to work at it, that's an Asian cultural aesthetic.
He supports the other guys on tour. He gives helpful tips to the guys playing who might be his competitors. He is incredibly nice to the people who aren't giving him a hard time.

He's done amazing things, and if Tiger or some white guy had done any of the things he had, they'd have declared a national holiday and ordained him by now.
I doubt he cares, because I never knew a person more in love with just hitting a golf club. He lives for that, and it's awesome to see him play.
I'd love to be a choker with career earnings like his!!!It seems he still plays the game for fun-at least a little bit.
Pity his shot didn't come off.Ernie went for something similar in Dubai and it paid off with an eagle to win.Boy did he need the money???
Anyone who thinks Vijay is a dick never played the game seriously and also has never met the man.
Having once sporting a fairly decent handicap I can only marvel at what he accomplishes.
As a person, veryone forgets he withdrew from a lucrative tournament last year in light of the hurricane ravaged Florida. Further he is cordial in practice rounds and signs many of autographs something Tiger can not be bothered with.
