Carol Mann quote on Korean players

[edit]

I deleted it and here is why. Only half of it was verifiable.

Golfweek writer Beth Ann Baldry in an article at this link

http://www.golfweek.com/story/lpga-reacts-korean-news-082808

The link is dead. Here is the quote I got from another site

§"I have friends who will turn the TV off or find other things to watch if Koreans are in the lead," Mann said. "A couple of weeks ago, there were seven or eight of them. . . . Carolyn Bivens has to protect the business of the future and the television package she's trying to design. So I think it is terrific."

Now where did I get this if the link to Beth Ann is dead? I got it from the Seoul sisters message board found here-

http://www.phpbbplanet.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4213&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=75&mforum=professionalgol

The article looks like it was cut and pasted into the message. However SS is a fan site for the Korean players. Its objectivity is questionable.

Now for the other version of the quote-

“I have friends who will turn the TV off or find other things to watch if Koreans are in the lead,” Mann said. “A couple of weeks ago, there were seven or eight of them . . . Not racist in the least. Just a fact.

The source for this-

Caddy Larry is well known for not liking the Korean players.

The parts in bold are the quotes differ. Since the quote is in question in at least part, I deleted it all. If someone can find a reliable source for whichever is the correct quote, then whichever it is can be put in the article again.
