U.S. Open

WHY DO YOU THINK PEOPLE LIKE TO WATCH PHIL SO MUCH? It's because he has the talent to do crazy stuff, and he's mentally too weak to draw off. Tiger is the better player, because that has to do with results. Phil's a freak show.

Scuds, it's not because he has the talent to do crazy stuff, it's because he has the stupidity (and guts) to try the crazy shots and that is why the average golfer likes him, because they like to try crazy stuff too. There are tons of guys on tour that can hit the same kind of crazy shots that Phil can, they just choose not to and play more conservatively.

How many of Phils peers on tour marvel at the way he hits the ball? I have never heard any of them say anything. How many times to you hear those same guys marvel at the way Tiger hits the ball? Quite a bit...

Kev, you can't be objective, cuz you despise LEFTY.

that is true he biased

my guess is if golf digest asked all the tour caddies or other players to vote just on talent it would come out

tiger 50%
phil - 45%
other 5%

I would guess 100% of the tour caddies would agree that you and Scuds are INSANE.

here is a chance for anti-trust and bigs to vote on a talent/better situation

we all know who the better player is between myself and gpk - that one does not even have to go to a vote , i will never play in tournaments that he has already won and forgotten about but as far as hitting the from tee to green (not getting the ball into the hole) who do you think can hit more shots can play more shots - high hooks , low fades , driver over the corner of a dogleg to cut a fairway in half , punch wedges , buried sand shots , flop shots - now isn't the decision a littler harder after you saw us both play?

Kev hadnt played in a long while. it was like 6 in the morning and we were all hungover... & starting to drink again.

I can safely say three things:

You hit it longer than Kevin

Kevin is more talented

We all had a blast and should do it again.

my point in relation to phil and tiger is, you didn't have to think about the better part between me and kev , but the talent part you had to think about it evaluate it, it wasn't an automatic decison

The scenario you are referring to is impossible to judge either of us from.

This was what you said.

If you seriously think that you can hit more shots or play more shots than me....well, I don't know what to say.

If u don't think I can hit high hooks, low fades, punch wedges, buried sand shots or flop shots....well again, I don't know what to say.

You do realize that the one round we played together, I was less than 1 year removed from back surgery that had me layed up for 2 months? I was maybe playing my 4th or 5th round of golf in a 16 month span??

again i never said better , but if you took 100 people and asked them to vote , some of them may not know a thing about golf at all , i might get a few votes just based on distance and distance alone

i am admitting i need 6 shots , and , i am willing to play you with 6 shots whenever you would like. i myself an stuck behind a computer 10 hrs a day at work and play 1x a week so i won't have my "A" game either

Anyhoo....check out this crazy ass golf course Im playing in a couple weeks

Actually, no I don't. I have had a 180 degree turn around in my opinion of him. Life has a funny way of doing that sometimes.

I think it would have been fantastic if he had won. Don't get me wrong Scuds, I think Phil is immensley talented. I have had the fortune of seeing them both play and practice in person...and in my opinion, Phil is not the most talented.

Sergio Garcia has an insane amount of shots in his bag. Is he more talented than Tiger now too?

For real Scuds, you cant actually believe this stuff, right??


Maybe they watch him cause he's a great golfer with a great personality? (much more fan friendly than Tiger it seems). Maybe they watch him because people like to root for the underdog? Maybe people watch him because it makes them feel better when they 3 putt #17 cause the 2nd best player in the world routinely 3 putts #17? He's a likeable guy (especially if ya like chokers). He's an amazing and talented golfer. He's not Tiger Woods when it comes to talent and mental toughness... There's only a handful of players with the talent/mental toughness that Tiger has, Hogan, Snead, Nicklaus... possibly Palmer though I'd put him slightly behind the top group.

Woman, maybe you're on the rag cuz ya boy had nothing this week. I mean really, tell me who was more fun to watch? Tiger making almost nothing, or that freak on display? Tiger is not as fun to watch. He either is boring bad, or boring good. Last year's U.S. OPEN was the exception.

i thought the pga against may had more drama than last year's us open , because they played together on sunday and then played in the playoff , rocco was not in his group on sunday

the putt to tie may after may knocked in his putt on the 72nd hole in my opinion was tiger's greatest putt ever as a pro - may just poured it in right in front of him and he then poured it right in after may

Tiger could not putt those greens at all this week. He sucked on the greens. Never seen him (or anyone really) miss the type of birdie putts he had all week long. If Tiger and Lefty were playing a scramble, they would have shot 20 under, cause Tiger was driving and hitting his irons VERY good. Lefty was putting VERY good (up until it was time for him to choke).

Lefty was more exciting to watch this week. But then again, if Tiger would have had an afternoon tee-off time on Thursday instead of an early one, he would have won his 15 Major even while putting like crap.

Tiger's C game is as good as anyone's A game.

I think its hilarious that even when Tiger plays boring bad he's always in the top 10, if not top 3. He's just that good.


Are you a golfer Scuds?

[MaTH716]

You ever think that Phil has all these shots in his bag because he is in s.hitty position so many times? Take me for instance, I'm great from getting out from behind and under trees (cause it seems like that's all I ever do ), but put me 150 out in the fairway and I'm dead.
