Player Loses Amateur Status for Accepting Prize From Tiger Woods

Ok, So I don't feel sorry for this guy. There was no way he was going to win $70K in amateur tournaments this year, but in a situation like this he just got lucky...like winning a lottery...more than like winning a competition. Did his golf skill lead to him winning the car from Tiger Woods? Yes. But, even the average to below average golfer can hit one lucky shot. I compare this more to winning a lottery than winning a competition. What do you think?
