well the USGA blew folks - how in the world could they not give a rain check to the fans yesterday

this could be their dumbest decision ever , no reason not to refund the patrons or to let them come out on another day - a clueless decision made by some clueless suits

all the players have an obligation to speak out about this disaster , but tiger and phil have the largest microphones - please 1 of you 2 superstars speak up for the fans 1x please , if it's not for them you ain't playing for squat

Now they have updated their decision to make it Monday for a rain date, if play is continued on Monday. That still stinks.

maybe so by the letter of the law kev, but, not human decency

they made a bundle off the merchandising tent yesterday , the least they could do was refund the day's tickets , we're talking about 3hrs of golf that got in - a lot of marquee names didn't even get to the 1st tee!

they scrambled today and said thursday's tickets will be good for monday if there is a monday - nice pr job after the local meida rightly hammered them

Marty- How can there possibly not be a Monday? Have you seen whats coming in today around 3pm? Its suppose to be so bad that this course wont be playable until mid-day tomorrow. We're talking being a full round and a half behind schedule. There may even be need for Tuesday play.

Barnes came out of nowhere to lead the tournament...

I suspect Tiger will shoot 60 something to get back into it, conditions look beneign right now.

I agree, they should however I'm sure the tickets have a disclaimer on them regarding inclimate weather. I think NBC mentioned it, I'm not sure it's Tiger's place to say anything, he has enough on his plate...same with Phil.
