Ah, so near yet so far for Dan S. I assume too late now for anyone to drop out.
He's had such a good year, and I reckon he would have acquitted himself well.
After our speculation, it seems like Dan did actually make the trip out to Paris to sign in - only to miss the cut by ONE place . . . as you say, so near and yet so far . . .
Looks like a last minute dash, even more annoying that he just misses out.
Yes. The success of the two overlooked 1990 Dans has been one of the most positive stories of the year on the men's side. Would be great to see them get all that they can. But they both seem to the outsider to be very sane, balanced people. So doubtless it's upwards and onwards.
