Hi, Interesting observations on Tiger Woods. I bet against him in a Ryder Cup a couple of years back whilst I was in London when he was otherwise going extremely well. Why? Because this was a test of his mental toughness and the effect of his being part Thai. Thais will do anything to avoid public conflict, and I reasoned one on one match play would create an exploitable weakness in his game. The result went my way, but there could have been any other reason, however I liked the price in London and I do have an understanding of the Thai mentality,
