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.

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.

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.

1 Trevor Immelman -8
2 Brandt Snedeker -7
T3 Ian Poulter -5
T3 Steve Flesch -5
T3 Phil Mickelson -5
T6 Paul Casey -4
T6 Stephen Ames -4
T8 Arron Oberholser -3
T8 Mike Weir -3
T8 Stewart Cink -3
GOOSEN-2
T11 Lee Westwood -2

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.

So you bet Tiger?
