I was completely confused by the whole golf scene with the Italian guy and Sayid.... until... I started wondering (and talking with a friend at lunch) about if that "opening" scene was out of order! Wonder if all the stuff with Elsa took place FIRST, and then the scene at the end of the show with Ben saying he had another name for Sayid and Sayid replying that they will know he is after them now and Ben saying, "good' happened SECOND. When the Italian man on the golf course seemed so upset on learning who Sayid was - wonder if the golf scene really occurs THIRD. And that makes it reasonable that the Italian man knows who Sayid is and tries to get away from him. He knows Sayid is trying to kill him.
