Even professionals make mistakes!

Announcer Bobby Clampett has apologized for referring to Wen-Chong Liang as "the Chinaman" during Masters play last week.

According to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Clampett was taken off the broadcast after the comment.

Clampett, working the Internet broadcast of Amen Corner at Augusta National Golf Club, made the comment Friday after Liang missed the cut.

"It has been a privilege to be here with you the last two days describing action of all of the players," Clampett said in a statement released Monday. "In describing the Asian player Wen-Chong Liang, if I offended anybody, please accept my sincere apology."

Liang, who missed the cut by six strokes after shooting rounds of 76 and 78, was playing in his first Masters on a special foreign invitation.

Clampett also works golf telecasts during the PGA Tour season for CBS.

Now Im not saying that Clampett was right by saying this, but take him off the broadcast? For those of you that read this crap I post, Clampett is the poor bastard that won the US Amateur and was hailed as one of the "next Jack Nicklaus", only to suck so bad he was in the booth full time by age 30. Guy couldn't hit a putt to save his life. You would think between CBS and the Masters folks they would warn him not to call the Chinese golfer a Chinaman!!! I say we cut the guy a break here. I mean look at him, the 1970's Peter Frampton fro says it all!!!
