“Ever wish you were no. 1?” I asked. MORE: McIlroy annoyed by Mickelson-Fowler friendship The happy-go-lucky Aussie looked at the entourage, the security, the cameras, the journalists, the … circus that followed Woods each and every day and shook his head. “Why would I want to live in that fishbowl?” And the truth is, he didn’t need to. Golf is such a rich sport that a good player in the top 20 — as Appleby then was — can make tens of millions of dollars on the course, match that with endorsements, and live in a big house in Florida, drive a Lamborghini, fly in private jets and still somehow be under the radar....
