WITH FRIENDS LIKE THESE ...
Matt Every, who finished tied for sixth in the Sony Open, was
suspended from the PGA Tour season last year after his arrest on a
drug charge as a strong odor of marijuana was detected coming from the
room he was in. Every, who said he does not do drugs, said after an
opening-round 64: "I still hang out with the same people. If one of my
friends likes to smoke marijuana every now and then, I'm not going to
say, 'Well, you can't be my friend anymore.' Honestly, man, I know
more people who smoke marijuana than who don't smoke marijuana." Hmm,
just what tour commissioner Tim Finchem wanted to hear.
