[FezPaul]

Anyone here watching besides me?

Berman's flappin' his yap on the ESPN coverage.

I may have to mute.

[EliSnow]

Unfortunately, still at work. Looks like it was a tough day.

[JPMNICK]

The were saying the winner might be 10+

I actually like to watch the pro's struggle, when they are -22 it makes it look to easy, I think they need to be challenged.

Anyone here watching besides me?

Berman's flappin' his yap on the ESPN coverage.

I may have to mute.

It's so weird. When I woke up this morning, I thought to myself, "I really hope ESPN puts someone in the announcer booth that really doesn't know that much about the game, has an annoying voice, but can come up with shitty nicknames for everyone." I was soooo happy when I turned it on and saw Berman doing it. Hooray.

[J.Clints]

I do watch it in mute.

[cougarjake13]

i was watching a lil here and there but not really paying attention

[FezPaul]

Just showed Michelson swing and miss in a ditch with high grass.

Hilarious.

[EliSnow]

Hilarious.

Are they saying that his wrist has been bothering him this tournament? Looks like he's at +10 now.

Paul Casey had a nice day today with -4.

[FezPaul]

-4 is amazing at this point in the tourney.

[FezPaul]

Dougherty leading at -2

[EliSnow]

Dougherty leading at -2

We'll see if he can keep it going. It's going to be difficult.

[FezPaul]

We'll see if he can keep it going. It's going to be difficult.

Especially in that faggy pink shirt.

[EliSnow]

Especially in that faggy pink shirt.

This is why I need to have the ability to watch sporting events from work.

[FezPaul]

Tiger flies the green and lands in the deep rough. :lol:

[riverofpiss]

Projected cut this morning was +5. I just checked the leaderboard on PGATOUR.com and it is at +10 now.

hoohoo

[cougarjake13]

tiger wins by 3 shots

[BeltOfScotch]

Berman was horrendous. Now that Padraig Harrington shit the bed, my new pick to win (meaning he will shoot 80 tomorrow) is Aaron Baddeley.

[FezPaul]

Round 3

Let the beatings begin.

[EliSnow]

Tiger's looking good. -2 at this point, and that's with missing some makeable putts. Should be interesting.

[FezPaul]

Baddeley leading at +1

Tiger at +3

[FezPaul]

Final pairing tomorrow

Baddeley +2

Tiger +4

[cougarjake13]

Final pairing tomorrow

Baddeley +2

Tiger +4

sweat

it'll give me a reason to watch

[cougarjake13]

wow


did baddely just shit the bed or what ???

[Bossanova]

wow


did baddely just shit the bed or what ???

WOW

[FezPaul]

Tiger tied with 3 guys at +4

Baddeley +5

[Ritalin]

Now it's Tiger's turn to dump a load on the sheets.

Two horrible chips

[FezPaul]

Ames +4
Stricker +4
Baddeley +5
Woods +6

[cougarjake13]

i love how there's 5 guys tied at +5 yet they have tiger at the top

[FezPaul]

Should they go alphabetically?

[cougarjake13]

Should they go alphabetically?

i dont know what the protocal should be, and i know why they do it

if some casual fan stops by the channel and sees tiger at the top then theyll stop and watch

[FezPaul]

Cabrera is leading now....who?

[cougarjake13]

Cabrera is leading now....who?

he's miguel's older brother

[bigredd]

Here comes Furyk! It's looking like a good Sunday.

[Tenbatsuzen]

If Cabrera wins this, does anyone want to take bets of how much shit he's gonna catch for smoking on the course?

10x worse if he was American.

I blame Hugo Chavez.

[bigredd]

Furyk might wind up being the 1st place loser two years in a row. That aint bad.

[underdog]

Great finish. Last guy on the course is Tiger and he's set up with a putt to force a playoff.

He just could NOT close, at all, today.

I also find it funny that on these really hard courses, there's usually one or two Americans towards the top of the leaderboard, and every one else is foreign. American golfers are so fucking babied.

[Kevin]

he's miguel's older brother

I woulda went Melky.. But eh.. To each is own..

[cougarjake13]

I woulda went Melky.. But eh.. To each is own..

ahh you're a yankee fan and obviously would think of him first

but im in florida and most talk centers around the d rays and marlins

and since im a mets fan, and they play the marlins alot i guess thats where my mind went

I believe it's based on rankings of the player, either their ranking in the tournament or in the world.

Tiger's the number 1 player in the world, so he's listed first any time he's tied with others.

[EliSnow]

Just an addition to my previous point, I think the fact I mentioned can be proven by looking at the pairings when several people are tied for #2. The leader would clearly be in the final pairing, but if let's say 4 people are tied for #, who would get to play with the leader. The answer is by seed or ranking of the players. So, if you list the tied players by their seed/ranking, you'll see what the pairings will be.

BTW, congratulations to Tiger for the birth of his baby daughter Sam Alexis yesterday morning.

Two of the top three finishers in this U.S. Open were American.

Six of the top ten finishers in the Open were American.

The final pairings are not based on world ranking or seeding. They are based on the previous round. For instance if two others were tied with Tiger at +4, whoever shot the low round the previous day would be in the later pairing.
As far as in the middle of a tournament when players are tied, who gets the nod? It is supposed to go in order of holes finished. Tiger was pushed to the top when he was tied, because he is Tiger and people we see his name on top of the leader board and watch.

[underdog]

Yeah, I realized that after I posted it.

At the end of Saturday, whoever ESPN interviews, other than Tiger, had a foreign accent. I thought it was hilarious.

Okay. As I said, it was a belief, but not something I knew for certain.

I think you may be right that the leaderboard was mostly foreign after the third round. Plus, with interviews, I think the foreign players are generally more entertaining than the American ones.

[Ritalin]

Foreign players are far more entertaining. American golfers are getting to be like NASCAR drivers. They don't want to say anything that could shut off the endorsement spigot.

And, did anyone else see the golf bag with the Jesus fish on it on Sunday? I think it was Baddeley's. It was, I just looked on his website. Funny, on the front page of his site, no mention of Jesus at all. Just his sponsors. Huh.
