Anthony Kim: Patron Golfer of Functional Alcoholics Everywhere

I liked him already, but stuff like this from Robert Allenby endears the young Mr. Kim to me all the more:

"Maybe we should all take the theory of Anthony Kim," Allenby said. "Get home at 4 o’clock (in the morning) and then go shoot 6 under."

Asked if his comments were on the record, Allenby said, "I don’t care. Ask his playing partners. Ask his team. He is the loosest cannon in that team."

Allenby went on to call the 24-year-old Kim golf’s "current John Daly."

Again, just to hammer this point home, but Anthony Kim shot a 6-under on Sunday. That’s not John Daly-level functional alcoholism. John Daly would have shot 84. Kim’s round — seriously, 6-under! — shares more in common with Winston Churchill.

Anthony was reached for comment, likely while eating a Denny’s Grand Slam breakfast:

“If Robert had that to say,” Kim said, “he may need to go practice a little bit more.”

In other words: Who’s Robert Allenby again? That dude I played with Sunday morning? Oh. Right. Whatever. My head hurts, and now please leave me alone. Anyone have Bloody Mary mix?
