Yes, but in America, that makes you black.  Americans wants native american 
(indian) land, so you had to be mostly indian to lay a claim to it. On the 
other hand, Americans wanted black slaves, so if you're even a tiny bit 
black, you're "black".

No. The reason he's good is he actually exercises and practices. He lifts 
weights on his way to the competitions. Just look at him standing next to 
Phil Michaelson. Plus, he's been doing it since he was like 3 years old.

Plus, of course, he has this awesome drive to not only win, but to kick your 
butt while doing so.  Odd that he picked a sport as non-competitive as golf.

While I'm sure his genes may have had something to do with it, it's probably 
a tiny part of his advantage, methinks.
