I will try to root Kuchar home for you. If he wins would this put you ahead for the year?

Good luck JMS!

My buddy and I took $200 wagers on two players, Stricker and Furyk. Kuchar is playing well on top!

You calling Obama supporters stupid, but this question ain't exactly brilliant.

7 x 41= 287

The individual says they're down $350. Looks like they bet $100 on this event. So, Kuchar winning would result in them still being -$163.

I've been playing the same bets all year and as of now I am up a whopping
83.75. I have 7 Wins (4 Dutch, 3 Big Bet). The minus 350 is since I started posting on this board.

Watney is playing some solid golf. We'll see if he can hold on or fold like a typical country club b.itch tomorrow.

Interesting top 3 right now. I predict Johnson catches Watney early, but then they both spit the bit late, setting it up for a McIlroy/Kaymer exacta.

Watney might as well wear a dress out there.

Excuse the hell out of me Sherlock Holmes. Im sure my avatar applies to you. Did the question come up as to whether he was up for the year or since he put what he was going to bet on here Sherlock Holmes?

Bubba didn't have to go for it. He's about the only player who manned up today and he hands the championship to the timid German who already choked in crunch time.

Too many chokers in this sport.

Bubba looked shocked when the ball hit the water, like it was impossible for him to come up short. That sucked for Dustin Johnson, since when are people allowed to stand in bunkers? Kaymer didn't choke, he made a huge put on 18 to make the playoff, and a bigger one on 17 to tie Bubba.

WTF! You mean they let him putt for a victory they knew they'd have to take away? WOW, this could have been much worse if he made that.

at least the official went up to them before he signed his scorecard and said there might be a problem... that way he didn't get DQ'd and lost his prize $$ too.

At least for me growing up playing tournaments, one of the things that our golf coach said to us.... if there's anything even remotely questionable, ask an official, regardless.

I also agree that knowing how wet or loose the sand is, is a huge advantage, knowing whether or not you can blast the ball out of it or not. Even setting a rake inside the trap would get you in trouble (for testing the sand).... which is why the rakes should be set just outside of and not in a trap.

Now that the dust has settled, and we have found out the players were warned about these "bunkers" outside the ropes, it's just a shame that this had to happen to Johnson. He certainly believed he had simply hit his tee shot into the gallery, not thinking that the gallery would be standing in a bunker. Should a rules official have informed him he was in a bunker, yeah, I guess that would have helped, although I'm sure there was no obligation on their part to do so.
