Asian Numero Uno

'hopper1: I've got news that will have you hopping on the grass.

'hopper2: The last time I did that, I got ticked off by a player.

'hopper1: But this is big news. An Indian has become the highest-ranked Asian player in the official rankings list.

'hopper2: Isn't that breaking news?

'hopper1: The news is more than a week old but in our defence, one week back this blog wasn't even up and running. Last week, when Jeev moved up to 34th spot, he created a teeny bit of history as he moved one ahead of Shingo Katayama.

'hopper2: The Japanese cowboy?

'hopper1: Now now, mind your language.

'hopper2: Ok Ok but what about the Asian Tour which always claimed Jeev was Asia number one?

'hopper1: Except for a slight technicality... Their media bombardments (very welcome ones at that) only took into account Tour members.

'hopper2: So what you mean to say is Jeev, the best Asian Tour player for a while now, is also the best Asian when we take into account passports and not just geographical performance ?

'hopper1: Umm, No.

'hopper2: Why?

'hopper1: Don't you remember you nitwit that Vijay Singh is an honorary Tour member?

'hopper2: So?

'hopper1: So, he is obviously the best product of the Tour according to Mr Han.

'hopper2: Isn't that a little strange?

'hopper1: Nope, that's Scott Strange, another true-bred Asian Tour member.

'hopper2: Dude, that was realllly LaMe!

'hopper1: ...

'hopper2: Hello?

'hopper1: ... (hop hop hop)
