The Open Championship
 

Holy Mother of God...did someone turn back the clock?? Tom Watson leading at -5?

:tro: :tro:

I had to look twice to be sure I was on the right leaderboard.

Tiger sucked it up.

I suppose it is only fair that Tiger gives the feild the first days' head start! Guess he's not worried by the weather!:rolleyes:

When I first saw the leader board it I thought it was Bubba...

The "Mechanic" played well, canned a 45 footer on 18 to lead.......

Lotsa pool players got hurt with Ogilvy, Poulter, etc today. B Gay shhots 73 today, hurting my chances, too. Hard pickin'!

Did this the 1st round of a Major a while back. Maybe the U.S. Open Furyk won(not sure..so don't go nuts.)

Yes, I remember that. I can't remember what tournament either, but I do remember it was a major that Watson was leading and it was in the last 5 years.

Watson's lug nuts are coming loose.

Probably not a great strategy for Tiger considering hes had little success coming from behind in majors. He needs to shoot a 67 or better today to have any shot at the win.

I disagree.. Everyone is coming back towards the field. He can shoot even par and be in great shape.. one under on the day and he'll be in VERY great shape.

Go Steve Stricker:tro:

We'll have to see. From watching Tiger this year (especially in the last 2 majors and yesterday), hes made a lot of poor decisions he never seemed to make a few years ago when he was winning everything. Theres no reason to think this will change in the next couple of days, but I hope it does. I couldnt take a final round of watching Matther Goggin, Lee Westwood and Steve Stricker going at it for the win.

Golf needs Tiger, just like horse racing needs Allen Jerkens.

yeah... He came off a huge injury and hadnt played golf in a long long time until a few weeks before the masters this year. I read an article that was interviewing him and he said if you would have told him he would have 3 wins and 2 6th place finishes in the majors he wouldnt have believed ya... didnt think he'd perform as well this year getting back into the swing of things. I wouldnt be surprised if thats part of the reason he looks like he's taking more poor shots. I still wouldnt be surprised if he won the British this weekend and/or the PGA.. but next year I think he'll be really tough. Its just crazy how when he doesnt even seem to play awesome, he still finishes in the top 5 or 10... its to be expected every week now, its amazing.

I'm not disagreeing with you on his greatness. And like you, I am a huge fan.
What I dont like is all the non stop coverage he gets and the neglect the other guys get, many of whom are ahead of him in tournaments. There were a couple of guys in the US Open who were closer to the lead in the final round that got absolutely no coverage, yet Tiger's every shot was shown.

I doubt Tiger is excited about 6th place finishes. Thats like Roger Federer only reaching the semis of a Grand Slam. Its like Albert Pujols only driving in 98RBI in a given year. For a guy (Tiger) who much wasnt expected of this year, hes always being made the odds on favorite to win every tournament he competes in.

I'd be surprised if he wins this weekend but thrilled to see him get major #15.

I,ve got Stricker at 50/1 let's hope. GL KP

Dude, If this pushy dyke says he's gunna do it, then he's got to. :rolleyes: I HAVE A BUTCH BITCH, AND SHE DESTROYS THE MALES. It's no contest. She fights out of her weight class, too.

Brotha can't find his ball. How many shots this gunna eat?

Hes going to be 3 over at best after this hole, but more likely 4 over.
Goodbye Tiger.
Like Curtis Strange just said, "where in his current swing do you see him making birdies?"
Hes all done Scuds. Like I said, he needed a 67 like round to have any chance and right now it looks more like about a 76! LOL!
