Ishikawa considering U.S. PGA Tour membership

34 tournaments is overkill. But if he's gonna do it, it's better to do the jet-setting while young.

It goes without saying that the expectations for Ishikawa are sky-high in Japan. He looked distracted to me at the President's Cup, and I think the ever-present J-media are far too intrusive concerning his private life.

I wish him the best and hope he has more success in the U.S. in the years to come than Aoki and Maruyama ever did.

Time to fish or cut bait for Ryo. The distance and time-change make playing both the Japan tour and the U.S. one impossible. Hope he makes the decision that will make him happy -- and not just his sponsors.

I wonder how his Speed Learning is working out.

getting tougher for this kid...good luck!
