“He just comes off sometimes the wrong way, kind of Scott Hoch-ish, where he says things he probably shouldn’t say.”

Chris DiMarco’s words on first round Players Championship leader Rory Sabbatini’s comments on Tiger.

“I want Tiger,” Sabbatini said. “Everyone wants Tiger. I want him to pick it up, and we’ll be up there late on Sunday.”

Sabbatini sounds like he’s requesting his own “thank-you-sir-may-I-have-another” moment. Sabbatini had a one-shot lead over Woods entering the final round last week at the Wachovia Championship and the two were paired together on Sunday. Sabbatini shot a 74 and tied for third. Woods shot a 69 and won tournament. That performance wasn’t enough to deter Sabbatini.

“I think a lot of people have commented in the past when people play with Tiger, they stand and watch the show and not participate,” Sabbatini said. “I’m not someone to participate to watch the show. I’m there to participate to win. I want to be paired with Tiger in the last group on Sunday here this week.”
