Removal of section on death of caddy edit

I've seen that WilliamJE has removed the sentence on the death which I think was important to give context to the win. Could we not have reworded it so it no longer sounded like an opinion rather than just removing it from the article altogether. It is important in understanding why the win itself did not get much attention. Tracland (talk) 06:22, 13 May 2014 (UTC)Reply

You would need a WP:RS saying that Brooks win didn't get much attention because of the caddy's death. That isn't very likely because the golf tournament received limited media coverage because 1- The field was weak 2- The tournament was only 36 holes due to weather 3- There was little or no international television coverage 4- Most of the golf world's attention was focused on the Players Championship not what was going on in Portugal. 5- Winners of 36 hole golf tournaments are usually considered fluke winners. For those same reasons, Brooks win didn't get much attention. That's all an opinion but wikipedia is an encyclopedia and articles aren't supposed to state opinions see WP:NPOV unless they are sourced....William 12:47, 13 May 2014 (UTC)Reply
Restored sentence with additional ref that states "overshadowed by the death ..." in the lead paragraph. Tewapack (talk) 19:16, 13 May 2014 (UTC)Reply
thanks Tewapack. I will try to make sure to improve my referencing going forwards. ...William thank you for the advice on how to improve this article Tracland (talk) 19:42, 13 May 2014 (UTC)Reply
