"Pavel Buchnevich The Fake"
Good for Hideki. He was masterful, but I find him hard to really root for.
The interpreter thing rubs me the wrong way. I get English isn’t his first language and it’s harder for Japanese people to learn it than most people to learn it because the alphabets are different (and probably some other reasons), but Hideki does speak English. This isn’t a “he’s only been in the US for 6 months and doesn’t understand or speak the language” thing. He’s been playing on the PGA Tour for over 10 years. He simply doesn’t want to give media availability in his second language. He’s like the only top 100 player in the world who does this. I hate it when Panarin does this for the Rangers, for what it’s worth. I think it’s a lack of accountability as a star athlete to the media. Hard for Hideki to really breakthrough on the PGA Tour as a star when he can’t even do some basic press availability that every other good ESL player does.
