A New Entry in the "Where are they now?" section

From the man who brought you such debacles as the "Catastrophe at Carnoustie," Jean Van de Velde, a professional golfer from France, now has his sights set on entering the Women's British Open next year. Tsn.ca.

For those that don't know, Van de Velde led by 3 strokes going into the final hole at the 1999 British Open. After some less-than-stellar shot- and decision-making, he managed to sink a putt to force a playoff. Needless to say, he didn't win the playoff - that honour went to Paul Lawrie.

I feel sorry for the guy because he outplayed everyone at one of the most difficult golf courses in the UK. To lose on the final hole is tough, but after watching the events unfold, you have to respect him for his decision to take out the driver on the 18th tee, instead of playing safe with the 2-iron.

So now he wants to make news again...this time by entering a womens' golf tournament. Michelle Wie and Anika Sorenstam have recently played in mens' events, so why can't Jean do the opposite? "My whole point is where do we draw the line," he says.

Good luck, Jean.
