Not sure why anyone likes him..hes a prick. Anyone that openly roots for a fellow competitor to miss a putt. There is a reason those guys out there don't like the little sh*t. A trained monkey can putt better under pressure than him.

IrishofNDMan 04-11-2008 11:39 AM
I'm a pretty big Lefty fan as well, and from what I hear him and his wife are pretty be pricks. Any truth to this?

He's a phony. Mickelson, Garcia and Greg Norman are the only 3 guys I have never cared for.

Crown@club 04-11-2008 12:24 PM
Yes! Someone should ask Conrad Dobler if Lefty is a phony.

Gotta do something to maintain his image. Many pro atheletes do such things...they just prefer to keep it quite and don't need the attention.

Nothing wrong with Phil, seems like a good guy and a class act to me. First time I heard of that story, a damn good gesture on his part.

To each his own of course.

Im done debating the merits of Phil. I know what I know and I am very comfortable in what I know.

All in all, he is an incredible talent on the golf course....no matter how much I dislike him.

I really hope that TW gets it rolling on the back 9 to make things interesting. What do you think he needs to be back in order for him to stand a legit chance tomorrow am. 6, 7, 8 back?

I liked Furyk's chances since it is somewhat playing like a US Open excluding the rough but now I like a Euro player to put on the Green Jacket Sunday evening.

2MinsToPost 04-11-2008 04:11 PM
Michael Thompson just called a 1 shot penalty on himself on the 15th green when his ball moved just ever so slightly after he grounded his putter.

How about that, that is what this game is all about and major props to him for being honest.

and it cost him winning low amateur too..... I actually had to do that to myself once in a high school tournament.

Stricker is playing like donkey a$$. Sigh.

SCUDSBROTHER 04-11-2008 09:53 PM
This is where I come in to try to predict tournaments.After Thursday,and especially after Friday's round is the best time to bet golf.I have to say that the only guy I trust up there is still Tiger. I'm gunna guess the rest of the guys pretty much stay where they are,or fall back.Atleast he doesn't quit when he is struggling,and almost everyone else does.Think about it.If IMMELMAN GOES 72-74 ON THE WEEKEND,THEN TIGER CAN WIN IT WITH A 70 AND A 68.

I feel sorry for Dobler and the other players.
But Dobler was a complete sh it when he played.
He tried to hurt people.

The list of defensive lineman he tried to disable is
long. I mean who the hell would try to poke out the
eyes and bite the fingers off of a guy like Merlin Olsen?
Then tried to leg whip him numerous times almost ruining
Olsen's career. Olsen was known as a clean player that
never bad-mouthed other players. Just played hard and
clean. But he was too good for Dobler and Dobler knew
this.
People do big turnarounds. Dobler seems
like a noble fellow now. But he was damn dirty, dangerous
dirty. So its hard to figure exactly what goes through
this man's head.

I think Kev is spot on concerning Phil.
Only 2nd hand info, but credible.
Heck, maybe he has changed like Dobler.

my guess is he shoots higher than 146 this weekend.

It would be easier if it was IMMELMAN was the only player ahead of Tiger.
Quite a few people are going to have to crater. Is it still true that Tiger
has never won a major from behind the pack?

It is true. Not too many players out there would turn down 13 majors if they were all won in front running fashion.

It would look better if he just stayed about 2 strokes behind till the last day and charged past all winning by 6 strokes or so. So he is a need to lead horse in the big ones... I think Oracle was stuck on that.

THERE ARE ONLY 3 ahead of him that have major wins (and 2 of them can't seem to remember how they did it.)Believe me I would be betting if I thought one of the guys in front of him was solid enough to do this.Casey and AMES have got the game to do anything,but they haven't been solid in majors.The others really haven't shown the firepower to draw off.Seems like IMMELMAN is always in playoffs and wins close tournaments.I have never seen him just dominate a tournament,but maybe ha has.Doesn't really hit me as a major winner,but either did Zack J.

I give my round of the day to Gary Player. For a 72 year old to get around that 7500 yard..glass-greened track in 78 strokes is science fiction...simply remarkable.

Tiger's not doing it. Elin knows he never comes from behind.

He needs a 66 or 67 today to have any kind of shot at all.

I think Phil will win but I would take Casey with that price. Has the game, was in the final couple of groups at Oakmont(even though it was a meltdown) the experience should help him.

GPK 04-12-2008 07:51 AM
Id be inclined to take Poulter for that price. Playing well and due to break through.

GPK 04-12-2008 08:17 AM
Truth be told...and as big a fan of Tiger that I am, I would love to see Trevor hold on. A good humble guy.

Coach Pants 04-12-2008 08:42 AM
I'd take Steve Flesch at those odds.

Pants Im getting Goose +135 to Singh today, what do you think

It's a toss up. Good luck.

I thought it was a toss up too, looking for a solid opinion somewhere

Do you like anything at all today outside horses.

I don't bet big to win big.So,I like to play atleast 10 or 15-1 stuff.I think I played Tiger once in my life,and he came 2nd in China.I realized I should of put it with something else(like a derby bet,) but I was too late.I do give Tiger a 50/50 chance of going by a bunch of chokes trying to shoot par rounds.Certainly not a sure thing,but I;ve seen Tiger look awful at times this year,and he simply becomes "new" the next day.You're right.He didn't come from behind all that much in previous years, but he has done it this year in Dubai,and somewhere else(Palmer's Tournament, I think.)I'M NOT KID'N.He has a 50/50 chance and was paying 4/1.It's never easy to play somebody that far back,but that's not just somebody.These others are zero inside ("compared to him.")

timmgirvan 04-12-2008 12:34 PM
Immelmen and Snedeker are pllaying out of their skulls! Bravo if they can keep up....Lefty will not win! El Tigre needs a major move to pull it out on Sunday! It should be a fun weekend;)

Phil Mickelson = Mental Midget

MinnSkinny 04-12-2008 06:03 PM
Snedeker is easy to like................if I had his attitude I'd play better. Like his chances now.................and I don't think he'll fold tomorrow............
