Re: no surgery after all

After reading that, it occurred to me that with a current YTD OOM ranking of 16th, and no events on the horizon in which to gain points, this will likely be the first year in a long time (at least six years, maybe more) that they'll miss the Players' Championship (top 12 YTD OOM as of March 11th qualify, so at least 4 qualified teams would need to decline their invite...not likely to happen. 1 or 2 sure, maybe, but not 4).
Anyway, that really has to be extra salt in the wound I'm sure. Really shows what a tough season it has been for them, (by their standards, obviously, 16th is still nothing to sneeze at).
