It must be U.S. Open week if even former major winners and architects are cranky and having another go at each other.Some background: The feud between Gary Player and Robert Trent Jones Jr. began in earnest at the 2015 U.S. Open at Chambers Bay, where Player criticized Jones design and said, among other things, that the architect had to have had one leg shorter than the other.For some reason, this issue was brought up again in a recent Golf Digest story, with Jones calling Player a showboater and sharing that they had tense encounters at last years Senior British Open and Rio Olympics.Well, Player waited a couple of weeks to respond publicly, but he did so in an entertaining statement Monday in which he referenced Nelson Mandela and said that Jones, who seems to be suffering from either amnesia or senility, was blatantly lying to Digest about their meeting last summer.According to Player, he had approached Jones at the Olympics to try to bury the hatchet. Jones, however, made a big scene and later apologized. It was there that Player recommended that Jones take a leaf out of Mr. Mandelas book and move on, rather than harbor resentment and hatred.He has very obviously and sadly not done so, Player said.
