we saw a tournament just a one on one friendly exhibition match between tiger woods and rory mcilroy and it was carnage on the course with crowds roaming everywhere. michael phelps played, the american swimmer, he's a keen golfer. he had a friendly round in china a few months back. he was putting his drives in the middle of the fair way and his ball had disappeared. what had happened was the fans had run under the ropes, taken it as a souvenir and nipped off. as i said, it was a friendly event but he wasn't too happy. >> they need to be educated there in terms of the etiquette. finally, pollution is a problem in china. how does that reconcile with golf? >> we saw it with an lpga tournament in beijing with terrible, terrible skies. some of the players resorted to wearing masks on the course which was horrendous for the sport and the tour. you can't control the weather. the players need to be on board. if they start deserting and say we're going to skip the china games, they can't grow if the players aren't on board. >> mark, thank you so much for coming in with those interesting stats
