As journalists, we're not supposed to root for one player over another. But we're also human, so we often do. We just keep it to ourselves.
I have always rooted for Meg Mallon, and so when the news broke in October that she had been elected to the World Golf Hall of Fame, I couldn't have been happier. It couldn't have happened to a nicer person - because there is no nicer person than Meg Mallon.
Meg's upbeat, friendly personality is one of two reasons I root for Meg. The other is a geographical accident. We both come from the suburbs of Boston.
