yea sad he lost it down the stretch there tho i truly never expected him 2 hang in it all 4 rds

johnny crunch, Saturday, 13 April 2013 23:07 (thirteen years ago)

ditto, love watching him play so much tho. that swing

As my posts here indicate, I've rooted for Tiger Woods long past the point of most people. But it's sad to go to cnnsi.com this morning and see that their front-page story is again one Michael Rosenberg defending Tiger playing on, and explaining all the bad luck he's had to keep him from the lead. Not Angel Cabrera, who gets a link tucked underneath: "Snedeker, Cabrera share Round 3 lead." That's not Woods' fault--they really ought to give this writer some time off, though.

thank you for alerting me to the existence of this guy; he is hilarious

The weirdest thing is not just dwelling on the penalty, but still making a big deal about the shot that led to it, the one off the flagstick back into the water. Hitting a good golf shot and getting a less than favourable result--that never ever happens in golf, right?

"And at the 8th hole on Saturday, a short birdie circled the cup before spinning out."

Again--unheard of. This is a bizarre chain of events Tiger's been subjected to.

clemenza, Sunday, 14 April 2013 17:28 (thirteen years ago)

to be fair, both those were very unusual -- tiger himself said hed never seen a lip out like that one. & im sure theres some advanced stats out there abt hitting the pin, it's gotta be like once in a thousand approach shots or something?

johnny crunch, Sunday, 14 April 2013 17:33 (thirteen years ago)

dont get me wrong, that article was garbage

johnny crunch, Sunday, 14 April 2013 17:34 (thirteen years ago)

Hitting a great/perfect shot into a hazard doesn't happen often.

Spottie_Ottie_Dope, Sunday, 14 April 2013 17:37 (thirteen years ago)

that lip out was wild

it spun round the whole cup

cozen, Sunday, 14 April 2013 17:41 (thirteen years ago)

I just watched the shot again, and I think you can make the argument that--like any shot that hits the flagstick on the fly--it wasn't a good shot at all. If it doesn't hit the stick, maybe he ends up on the other side of the green--depends how much spin he had on it. The line was obviously perfect; the weight, I don't know.

(You've got to go about three YouTube screens in to get a playable replay; some goofball posted a whole bunch of fake clips that lead to a media-player download.)

clemenza, Sunday, 14 April 2013 17:48 (thirteen years ago)

man, 2d hole is set up for some scoring

johnny crunch, Sunday, 14 April 2013 18:15 (thirteen years ago)

langer's a damn fine player. i know hes been dominating the sr tour

johnny crunch, Sunday, 14 April 2013 18:22 (thirteen years ago)

Sweary tiger alert

privilege as 'me me me' (darraghmac), Sunday, 14 April 2013 18:27 (thirteen years ago)

Came to say how perfectly Snedeker struck his first two shots, but Day kind of upstaged that.

clemenza, Sunday, 14 April 2013 18:50 (thirteen years ago)

yea looking like sneds is locked in

johnny crunch, Sunday, 14 April 2013 18:51 (thirteen years ago)

xxp yeah that tiger approach looked like it was coming in a little hot to me.

call all destroyer, Sunday, 14 April 2013 18:58 (thirteen years ago)

really nice par saves on 4&5 by langer

johnny crunch, Sunday, 14 April 2013 19:01 (thirteen years ago)

Love how Cabrera's already walking up the fairway, head down, as the ball rolls closer and closer. Langer won in '85?

clemenza, Sunday, 14 April 2013 19:09 (thirteen years ago)

p sure brandt snedeker's caddie is actually henry owings

adam, Sunday, 14 April 2013 19:49 (thirteen years ago)

Ouch bubba with a 10 on a 3 par
