Although Anthony Kim weighs only 160 pounds, he pounds the ball, averaging 301 yards off the tee, tied for eighth on the PGA Tour. He also has touch -- he's tied for 18th in putting -- and his scoring average of 69.55 is second only to Phil Mickelson's 69.45. Actually, Tiger Woods' scoring average of 67.55 is best, but he hasn't played enough rounds to qualify. And he won't, either.

Okay, kid. Enjoy the rest of the year. I hope you win 3-4 tournaments. Keep "poking the bear"...er, Tiger.

Kim needs to eat humble pie.

His 160 pound size is hardly relevant. He's young and reasonably athletic.
Club speed and technique are just as important as a player's weight.
We have old men, fat men (and old fat men) on the tour who can clobber the ball as well.
