Golf - Classic or Dud?

bit*

so this time he doesn't choke

Jordan Spieth first teenager (by a few days) to win a PGA event since the '30s. Unfortunately, he beat a Canadian in a playoff, but something to see anyway.

its fucking amazing that jimenez can do this like every yr btw

I notice that cnnsi.com doesn't have Michael Rosenberg on the front page (or anywhere) today, assuring everyone that Tiger's got this one locked up. Instead, Cameron Morfit:

"A good spot. What do we make of that? He's been in other good spots at the majors over the last five years, getting within a few strokes of the lead or even in the lead through two rounds. Each time he's fallen down the board, sometimes way down. Woods used to be as predictable as gravity, but now he's more like the weather."

A little more realistic, I'd say.

Can't get into this Open yet, largely because the cricket's more interesting

who is this silly man announcing the players on the first tee

jesus laird is fuuuckd

For all the times he's been close, has Tiger held an outright lead as late as Saturday during this drought? I might be wrong, but I don't think he has.

yeah laird basically burst into flames out there

Driver-driver-putt (from off the green)--happens all the time.

imgination is one reason i'll always love golf

The usual war of attrition. Will be surprised if anybody's under par by the end of the day.

jesus, Schwartzel just drove the green- 448 yards

That was mind blowing. I squealed and my wife said "what's wrong?!" from the other room.

will there ever be a golden albatross in pro tournament play y/n

I don't know, but I had a wounded pigeon (11 on a par 5) just the other day.

what's a golden albatross? 4 under?

watching this tournament in Mississippi for those guys who don't go over to Scotland. Golf in Mississippi in July must be something.

i'm getting the Ken Venturi's watching this MS tournament

once played a 6 hour round when it was 95F with high humidity. worst day of my golfing life.

Christ, I don't even wanna think about it. All I did was run errands in Tupelo today, in an air conditioned truck, and I was drenched when I got home and finished unloading stuff. Had to change everything but my socks. I've played in this heat before, but I was a younger man.

Come on Westwood!

Poulter is going insane.

3x birdies and one eagle

Westwood drops to -2

yea poulter is unconscious

o_0 poulter

Just misses another, still he is on par with five holes left.

Tiger drops a shot - may it continue.

Westwood manages a birdie after fiding a bunker on the 5th!

Poulter drops one, fun while it lasted.

Westwood looking solid - surely this time..

Just when i say that its bunker meltdown

That was huge--thought he was headed for a 6.

Incredible putt by Scott - two in a row. Tiger doesn't help himself to an easier one so its par for the major drought to almost certainly continue.

Fantastic putt by Westwood to drop the one. That could be huge! xp

Poulter is just screaming out there to find a great 2nd shot from the rough.

Stenson rly should've sunk that in.

westwood is grinding really hard, all the blood in his body is in his head

I know no one shares this, but it's so frustrating rooting for Tiger the past few years. At some point, he digs himself into a hole every major now.

3x straight birdies for Scott.

Westwood drops another one...oh dear

xyzzzz jinxed lee something fierce

Tiger does get a birdie!

Its all going wrong - three way tie for the lead now.

I'm in the weird position of wanting Tiger to win, with Westwood my second choice. It'd be a lot easier if they were both far ahead of the field.

i can't really decide if i like westwood or not

Think Adam Scott looks the steadiest in the last few..

yeah

Outside of Tiger, I tend to root for stories more than players. Westwood finally winning a major would be nice.

westwood is not winninfg this

what a shot by mahan
