Par4QC Eguller I think it's an unwritten rule....."elicit emotions" during interviews.

Wonder what kind of emotions there would have been if JT had decked him ?

    Eguller Interviewer at the end should be demoted. Pitiful. Congrats JT. 🏌

    As JT walked away from the interview he turned back to Tireco and said, "Man why do you do this to me?" I hope Tireco felt 2" tall.

        Rickochet I hope Tireco felt 2" tall.

        JT is a big enough star now that he should decline to be interviewed by asses he doesn't like.
        I think Tiger did it to someone and also Pete Rose to that one annoying shit disturber.
        Can't recall names off hand.

            Jim Gray comes to mind, one of the worst ever.

                It was from the 18th green.
                You could see her take the flag in hand just before the cameras cut away.
                Thought it was a souvenir for them. Guess not.
                Good for her and Lee. Classy.

                  What did Tireco say? I missed it.

                    Don't mean to drag this out, but is wasn't Tireco, but the Giant Buttbird and awful interviewer Steve Sands.

                        My bad.

                          Justin’s grandpa passed away over a month ago.

                          The only reason I would consider Sands bringing that up in horrible taste is if JT specifically asked him beforehand to not bring it up.

                          I’m no fan of Steve Sands, but I seriously doubt that JT was blindsided by the mention of his gramps.

                            azgreg Couldn't find that one.

                            Same interview. They just clipped the last few seconds with JT's comments.

                              He'll not walk away from any 'win' interviews, or just any interviews for that matter, after what he went through with the 'putter renaming' incident. Can't have any more bad publicity.

                              And, I saw nothing wrong in the question/statement about his Gpa. And I don't think JT did either, as he was already thinking about it. I think he was happy that he was mentioned.

                                  PA-PLAYA I’m no fan of Steve Sands, but I seriously doubt that JT was blindsided by the mention of his gramps.

                                  Maybe not, but it was still VERY unprofessional and inappropriate for a serious interview. How about
                                  a thoughtful question or two ?

                                    I personally saw nothing distasteful with mentioning his grandpa, given this had happened over a month ago. Again, provided JT didn’t ask him to not go there prior to the interview.

                                    At what point is it "okay" to bring that up if a month is too soon?

                                    Not really worth debating, but I just personally felt that it wasn’t out of bounds. JT even chuckled a bit when he said, "“you had to go there didn’t you."

                                    Had his demeanor been more serious, perhaps I’d agree.
