If Tiger had a later start time on Thursday, he wins right?

tough to say that difinitvely obviously. Especially since he missed alot of putts. But he woulda had a much easier time of it and much more receptive greens, yes

[EliSnow]

If Tiger had a later start time on Thursday, he wins right?

I would say yes, but it is speculation. He could have won it without his falling apart on the last four holes of the first round.

[hammersavage]

Of course its speculative. I think that will be the question making the rounds on the sports talk shows later.

[EliSnow]

Of course its speculative. I think that will be the question making the rounds on the sports talk shows later.

If and when the quetion is posed to Tiger, he'll probably say that it's part of the game and that he thinks he could have still won it with the draw if he had made some easy putts and did better on the last four holes of the first round.

[Snoogans]

Tiger Woods just hit a drive fuckin 367 YARDS. HOLY FUCK.


350+ bitches

[Snoogans]

and proceeded to EAGLE 9 after that bomb of a drive.

Ballin

[Snoogans]

Another One Over 350. I think Bubba Watson What A Fuckin Beast

Mickelson's mother has breast cancer, will have surgery (http://www.cbssports.com/golf/story/11928552)

Six weeks after Phil Mickelson announced his wife had breast cancer, his mother was diagnosed with the disease and is to have surgery later this week.

Is it me or is Mickelson on a horrible stretch of luck here? I might start to feel bad for him...

Unless he is somehow causing cancer.

Seriously though, it really almost seems like it isn't fair

[TheGameHHH]

who we got this weekend?

[King Hippos Bandaid]

I played Steve Stricker in my Fantasy League with a Hunch, so far it is paying off



my Greg Norman Hunch, not so good

[EliSnow]

who we got this weekend?

Let's see, I'll take ......


Tiger.

[Jack Nicklaus]

Let's see, I'll take ......


Tiger.

Ha. Ha. Ha. What a horrible mistake you've made young man.

Tiger Woods is a fine golf player who strokes the ball quite well. However I didn't miss a cut at the British Open until I was 45 years old. Of course that's probably why I hold the all-time record of 18 major championships and Tiger does not.

I'm sure Tiger will pop on here sometime this weekend Jack and let us all know why he missed the cut.

[cougarjake13]

and there goes the ratings


you know i was reading an article on how nike planned tigers dress atire over 18 months ago for this open championship, had all 4 days planned out


a lil presumptious no ?? yeh i know tigers great and all and rarely misses a cut but

Actually, Jack Nicklaus would say he has 20 major championships, as he, Tiger and others count U.S. Amateur Championship wins as a major.

[EliSnow]

WTF is John Daly wearing? He looks like a children's character.

[EliSnow]

He's hurting my eyes.

They do that for every major, it's called marketing.


I love all the idiots that say "I'll take Tiger versus the Field" any time a major rolls around. Odds are he's only going to win one a year which means you lose 75% of the time.

[EliSnow]

Tiger Woods doesn't make the cut, and 59 year old Tom Watson is leading the Open after 54 holes. Unbelievable.

Yet fun. It would be awesome if Watson won, especially since he would then be tied for most British Open wins at 6.

[KnoxHarrington]

Holy shit, it's Sunday, and Tom Watson is tied for the lead.

Especially after that idiot who was leading just threw up a nice quadruple bogey.

23 golfers are within 4 shots, and given the fact that the wind today means that any hole could conceivably turn into an 8 or 9, this is going to be wild.

[Snoogans]

holy shit, its 4 holes to play and tom watson is still tied for the lead. I have Lee Westwood in my pool against Hippo so im sorta pulling for him, but if Watson can pull this out, it might be the greatest thing I ever saw

[disneyspy]

ya its kinda hard to pull against the old guy at this point

[KnoxHarrington]

holy shit, its 4 holes to play and tom watson is still tied for the lead. I have Lee Westwood in my pool against Hippo so im sorta pulling for him, but if Watson can pull this out, it might be the greatest thing I ever saw

He just took the lead by himself.

I don't think I've ever wanted someone to win a sporting event as much as I want Tom to pull this off.

[Snoogans]

I really cant believe this. he won the british open 32 years ago. THIRTY TWO YEARS AGO

[KnoxHarrington]

And Tom just pulled off a hell of a shot out of the rough while Westwood really shit the bed with his tee shot.

Is this really happening?

[Snoogans]

Damn, Lee. That was sick

[KnoxHarrington]

Damn, Lee. That was sick

Tom's tee shot put him in good shape for a shot at eagle or birdie too, though.

The old man is not going away.

[KnoxHarrington]

And here comes Cink.

This is going to be one wild-ass finish.

[Snoogans]

Watson got an awful kick off the fairway. Thats probably the 3rd time he hit one perfect and would up rollin through to the first cut

[disneyspy]

but cink is done for the day,i think tom pulls this out

[Snoogans]

if westwood hits this eagle putt i think we see a playoff

[disneyspy]

it bugs me that they dont have grounds crew to fill the divits in the fairway

[KnoxHarrington]

3-way tie, bitches.

[Snoogans]

it bugs me that they dont have grounds crew to fill the divits in the fairway

they dont fill it in most tourneys. just some sand, thats it

[disneyspy]

they dont fill it in most tourneys. just some sand, thats it

thats what i meant,DONT BE PUSSYS,FILL THAT SHIT IN WITH SOME SAND!

[KnoxHarrington]

Watson still with a good shot at birdie on 17.

If he hadn't hit it quite so far, he'd have a great shot at eagle.

And Westwood just hit it right into a pot bunker.

[Snoogans]

these bunkers are EVIL. its like that shit had a magnet

[KnoxHarrington]

This is truly Watson's tournament now. If he can cash in the birdie here, he just needs to par 18.

[disneyspy]

those are some wicked lips on those bunkers

[KnoxHarrington]

Tom Watson will go to the 72nd hole of the Open Championship with a 1 shot lead.

Holy shit.

[bigredd]

Lets go Tom! 1 to play with Westwood chasing him. Go, Tom go!

[KnoxHarrington]

Par, birdie, par for Watson on the 18th hole so far this week.

[KnoxHarrington]

And that's the tee shot Watson needed.

[KnoxHarrington]

Unless Watson fucks up now -- and I don't believe he will -- this is his tournament.

[KnoxHarrington]

This is one of the most fucking unbelievable things I've ever seen in sports.

[Snoogans]

uh oh. Way to go jinx knox

[KnoxHarrington]

Nah, I have faith in Tom here.

[Snoogans]

wow. this is nuts

[KnoxHarrington]

I'm probably far more nervous than Tom is at this point.

[KnoxHarrington]

Shit.

[Snoogans]

nice work knox

[EliSnow]

Shit

[disneyspy]

way to hammersavage tom,knox

[beachbum]

Tom can do it!Four holes to go.

[Snoogans]

knox, talk about how Cink has this in the bag

[KnoxHarrington]

knox, talk about how Cink has this in the bag

Well, I do have a bad feeling that Watson can't pull off this playoff.

Will that do?

[Snoogans]

Well, I do have a bad feeling that Watson can't pull off this playoff.

Will that do?

only time will tell if you ruined history

[bigredd]

I'd wager on Cink right now. I'd love to see Watson pull it off but I wouldn't mind seeing Cink getting a major under his belt.

[disneyspy]

my buddy bought one of those 140.00 odesyee putters,i out putt him with my little putt putt putter,1.50 at goodwill 3 years ago,fuck the 2 ball putters

[beachbum]

I'll stick with my old Callaway Bobby jones 3.

[disneyspy]

this blows,i got invited to a kids bday party and if this goes into extra 18s i'm gonna miss it,thanx alot knox

[beachbum]

Damn i feel bad for Watson.

[Snoogans]

yea me too. Knox fucked him

[disneyspy]

glad i missed it,f'n knox

[KnoxHarrington]

yea me too. Knox fucked him

Seriously, that was the biggest swing of emotions I've ever felt watching a golf tournament. I was ready to come out of my seat roaring with joy, and then he misses that putt. And then about 30 minutes later or so, I'm totally and completely depressed.

I'm so sorry, Tom.

[epo]

I just got home and see that Knox Harrington is the new jinx. Where does this leave KHB?

I was watching that yesterday and thought I heard it. But I was in a hangover daze and thought I was imagining shit

[mendyweiss]

Are PGA golf pros athletes ? I think not.
What other sport can the winner of the most important event smoke a pack of cigarettes DURING the competition ?( Angel Cabrera ) US Open 2007
A 59 year old man just about wins the British Open (Tom Watson )
A fair number of great players are rotund and probably drink too much
I would classify them as Sportsmen

They may not be the best trained or most fit athletes, but they are still athletes.

As for Watson, he still practices and trains his sport every week.

[KnoxHarrington]

And every sport has the one fatass who looks like he's not in as good a shape as you are who's still great at it. I mean, there was Kirby Puckett in baseball, Charles Barkley in basketball, and most offensive linemen in the NFL.

I mean, just about anyone I've ever heard comment on this says that soccer players are probably in the best physical shape of any athlete in any sport, and that sport sucks.

Holy crap, i heard this too and thought i was imaging it when i saw it yesterday. i was gonna post in this thread right after but i figured everyone would think i was weird. Tiger was laughing hysterically, he had to have ripped one.

i thought the same too but i thought it was someone in the gallery

[KnoxHarrington]

i thought the same too but i thought it was someone in the gallery

See, I thought maybe that too, but I don't think the mics would have picked it up quite so clearly if it was in the gallery, and I don't think Tiger would laugh about that -- he and his caddy would probably be pissed. So I think it's one of them.

It had to have been a whoopie cushion.

[KnoxHarrington]

We may finally have an answer to the mystery: it apparently wasn't Tiger Woods that farted, it was CBS golf announcer David Faherty, who was following Tiger.

It makes sense: he'd have a microphone much closer to him than Tiger would, and it also explains why Tiger didn't get too pissed like he might have if it was just some douche in the gallery with a whoopie cushion or the iPhone app on his iPhone.

I'd add in my scientific study of the fart, I notice that Tiger's voice, once you hear it, is very low volume. So unless the fart was a glass-breaking monster, it wouldn't have been that loud. I think the networks are really careful to not get mics too close to Tiger to avoid airing one of his occasional F-bomb barrages, and it does sound like they were keeping their distance.

go to PGA.com and you guys can watch live right now. TV coverage starts at 2 I believe.

They have one video feed following just tiger's group, every shot. Sorry I didnt post sooner, I was watchin it.

[KingModem]

I live about 30 minutes from Hazeltine, and we have had some seriously electric weather today, with dew points in the 70's and temps in the 90's. It is going to be an interesting weekend.

[KingModem]

The rain will be starting in about 5 minutes....

[TheGameHHH]

im glad i got home from work in time to watch some of this

[EliSnow]

Wow. Padraig got killed on that hole.

[KnoxHarrington]

CBS just put up a stat that Tiger has gone 14 consecutive holes without a birdie now.

[EliSnow]

CBS just put up a stat that Tiger has gone 14 consecutive holes without a birdie now.

Didn't he have a birdie on no. 2?

Scratch that. He just missed the putt on that one. Even the announcers didn't read it right.

[KnoxHarrington]

Well, that birdie-less streak is over, and Tiger is back in the lead by himself now.

[Meataball23]

Tiger birdie!!

Im rooting for yang to keep pushing him though

[KnoxHarrington]

And on his next tee shot, Tiger nails a few people in the gallery, and Yang's in the fairway.

[Meataball23]

Ive been stunned about the lucky bounces the both of them have received today - I'll bet tigers got a great look at the hole from his tee shot

[KnoxHarrington]

Yeah, Tiger's well off the fairway, but not in bad shape at all.

But he blew it right through the green.

[KnoxHarrington]

And Yang is actually on the green.

[Meataball23]

Wow...yang and I picked up the game when we were 19, and we're both self taught!!

Hes playing for a pga championship, and im a 18 hcp - not so nice!!!:wallbash:

[KnoxHarrington]

Hmmm...Tiger hasn't left himself a very easy putt there

And Yang really should be able to 2-putt from where he is.

[KnoxHarrington]

We are tied!

[Meataball23]

tiger bogey!!

We're all tied up!

looked like yang almost missed that 3 footer

[KnoxHarrington]

The PGA has a 4-hole playoff like the British, right?

I'd hate for this to end up with some sudden death bullshit.

[disneyspy]

hey sexy american sandtrap

hey yang,its a parling lot

http://i25.tinypic.com/2zdwze8.jpg

[KnoxHarrington]

Yang's the one giving the fist pump now!

[EliSnow]

Great eagle by Yang! This may be a great finish.

[KnoxHarrington]

It's hard to say that Yang would have wrapped the tournament up if Tiger hadn't responded to the eagle with a birdie of his own, but, damn, Tiger needed that.

[disneyspy]

did that look like a proVI tiger was usin?

[Jack Nicklaus]

Watching Eldrick plays reminds me that he should've less time this morning picking out his Sunday reds, and more time being a man. That young man has a lot to learn about closing out a major championship, unlike myself who won 18 major championships, more than any other man.

Yeah, it's not like he won more Majors at a younger age than Nicklaus did.



Oh wait, he did.

[Meataball23]

Had to run out for a bit, dvr golf!! What a chip by yang- absolutely incredible!

We're hopefully looking at a great great finish

[Meataball23]

3 hole agg finish if it goes to extras. Id be down for some free golf - but I think if it gets that far tiger would take it.

Tough chip from tiger...hes running outta holes

[Meataball23]

A worse putt from Yang!!!!

Oh man, that dude has to be beyond nervous

[EliSnow]

Wow. It comes down to the final hole.

[KnoxHarrington]

Wow, this is going all the way to the end.

[Meataball23]

Excellent tee shots for both on 18

Tiger has got to some something special in the next two shots

[Jack Nicklaus]

Yeah, it's not like he won more Majors at a younger age than Nicklaus did.

Oh wait, he did.

Young man, the last time I checked 18 was greater than 14. Oh wait, it still is.

I've got 18 major championship victories, a record topped by no other man.

[KnoxHarrington]

Great shot for Yang!

[disneyspy]

wow.game over

[drjoek]

What a shot

[Meataball23]

What a shot from yang!!!!

Down goes tiger!! down goes tiger!!!

[KnoxHarrington]

Tiger pretty much has to chip this in.

[disneyspy]

Tiger pretty much has to chip this in.

thank you president obvious

[KnoxHarrington]

Yang wins!

[Meataball23]

Incredible!!!:clap::clap:

What a performance from yang!!!

[drjoek]

No majors
Gives back the lead on Sunday
WOW

[disneyspy]

[Syd]

Glad I stuck around to watch this. Yang made it one hell of a final round.

I had an amazing time at Hazeltine yesterday. I have to admit that everybody having their little American Express earpieces in their ears was annoying, but made the tournament more enjoyable knowing what was going on at all times.

Cant believe I witnessed Tiger collapse at a major.

I loved that little earpiece thing. And I figured out tonight that though the PGA XM feed no longer works, it also doubles as an Fm radio, which should make it useful for other sporting events.

[EliSnow]

Looks like Phil is playing really well right now in the WGC. So much so that some online journalists are talking about him being better than Tiger in 2010.
