I didn’t enter any contests the first five years and have been lucky enough to qualify six of the last eight, although my biggest “achievement” is being in the very small group of players who have three top twenty finishes.
That reminds me that I’m pretty sure Paul’s sixth this year makes him the first player to ever finish in the top ten more than once.
But enough about me and enough about Paul.
It might seem counterintuitive, but if you think through next year’s major format changes carefully, I’m pretty sure you’ll agree with my assessment that they should drastically reduce or maybe even eliminate the biggest problem you had the year you qualified and, if memory serves, were in contention after the first day.
Besides, one of TI’s biggest attractions is something I wasn’t previously familiar with but now believe that everyone should see at least once: bikini bull riding.
