I have been trying to wake up early to watch it, tomorrow I'll wake up early for sure for the British Open so Ill catch it.
You have a point. It's part of the sport as it has been defined. It's been that way for a while, so they need it. If it wasn't a team sport it'd be individual. They need each other to stay in the thick because everyone else does it. If the rules change, they'd adapt, as long as the playing field is level it doesn't really matter which way it's done. I just prefer individual.
