BLODGET: I'm Boycotting Augusta National

Business Insider editor and CEO Henry Blodget announced today that he's boycotting Augusta National, the site of the annual Masters golf tournament.

"I've had it with this crap about no women allowed," Blodget said. "Until they admit a woman, I'm not going to play the course or join the club."

Blodget dismissed protests that not allowing women is just a "tradition" at Augusta.

"It was once a 'tradition' in America that people had slaves," he responded. "That 'tradition' thing is just a bogus way to justify an absurd and insulting rule. I'm not setting foot in the place until they admit someone with boobs."

Not allowing women, by the way, is only one of the 10 most ridiculous rules at Augusta National, one of the snootiest clubs in the country.

Kaymer has another miserable day at Augusta

AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — Martin Kaymer is starting to realize Augusta National doesn't suit his game.

The world's top-ranked player had another miserable day at the Masters on Thursday, struggling to a 6-over 78 that sets him up for an early trip home.

Again.

Kaymer has missed the cut in all three of his previous Masters, and this was his worst score yet. He'll have to shoot in the 60s Friday — something he's never done at Augusta — to have any chance of making it to the weekend.

Though disappointed, the German golfer seemed resigned to his fate, saying, "There's some golf courses that suit you and some, they just don't."
