Golf - classic or dud

True, Westwood is better--I straight up assumed that he already won one

Westwood never figured out how to make 5-foot putts. quite sad.

honestly today was really boring until the final pairing made the turn, then the back 9 was one of the best 3 hours of golf i've ever seen. honestly epic in the truest sense of the word -- operas will be written about today

Still buzzing thinking about this and I only watched the last three hours (from Sergio's par putt on the 13th or so)

Don't know if anything's made me feel older recently than finding out it was 18 years ago when Garcia hit that famous blind running approach shot.

sergio can play some poker!

vijay singh of all people in 4th place at the players. haven't thought about that dude in a million years.

I could never get into Vijay. always seemed so boring and smug. not sure if it was how he was marketed or what

nah he was just a really boring methodical dude. so was david duval. that era really needed tiger b/c none of the other guys were very interesting.

els too, at least he smiled tho. sometimes I feel like John daly kept golf alive till tiger came through.

vijay was a dick, tho -- i know someone who was a fan for that very reason

I heard general stuff like that but no real stories.

i loved els!

anyone who wins oakmont is my man

els was awesome!

that era was kept alive by the commentators saying 'here's davis love the third'

vijay was a dick, tho -- i know someone who was a fan for that very reason

wasn't it vijay who was stridently anti-women. i forget when it came up that there might be joint events or some shit but, unless i'm wrong, vijay was the most outspoken.

here we go:

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Vijay Singh made it clear how he feels about Annika Sorenstam playing on the PGA Tour.

What is she going to prove by playing? It's ridiculous. She's the best woman golfer in the world, and I want to emphasize 'woman.' We have our tour for men, and they have their tour. She's taking a spot from someone in the field. "

-- Vijay Singh

He wants to her miss the cut next week in the Colonial.

And on the odd chance that he is paired with her, Singh says he won't play.

In the strongest comments yet about Sorenstam becoming the first
woman in 58 years to compete on the PGA Tour, Singh said the
32-year-old Swede has no business playing at the Colonial and
should stick to her own tour.

''I hope she misses the cut,'' Singh said in an interview with The Associated Press after his runner-up finish at the Wachovia Championship. ''Why? Because she doesn't belong out here.''

Singh knows he won't be playing in the same group as Sorenstam when she becomes the first woman in 58 years to compete on the PGA Tour. His name will be drawn from a pool of PGA Tour winners when the pairings are made.

lol vijay is also currently suing the pga tour so that's something.

Oh apparently he was using the ol antler spray.

I remember that story now too xp. Crazy he's had so long to backtrack and apologize but apparently his only reaction was to never talk to the reporter again.

why do you do this to us lee rickie

Tommy Fleetwood is a good name for a golfer.

^have always thought this

Grillo is my favourite name of the tournament. Not seen him before.

It's all about the Talor Gooch

Nothing beats Trey Mullinax

Kinda like Patrick Reed... when you take him away from
the fratboy persona he may not have actually had

that longread was like the best sports article of the last two years though

This is insane, so many players in contention. Hoping for Tommy Fleetwood, he's from Southport and he's called Tommy Fleetwood, but then he could be from Fleetwood and called Tommy Southport and I'd still want him to win.Also a golfer who looks Dave Grohl is cooler than a rockstar who looks like Dave Grohl.

seven-way tie for the lead is incredible at this stage

Get in there, Tommy boy!

hoooooly shit justin thomas

who is he? lowdown pls

Get confused with all these Justins, Dustins...

that final hole second shot wasn't even his best shot of the day ffs

ARE YOU KIDDING? WHAT. A. PUTT! @JustinThomas34 #USOpen (🎥: @usopengolf) pic.twitter.com/foKFJsNo1K

In the following week's tournament, the Sony Open in Hawaii, Thomas became the seventh player in PGA Tour history to shoot a 59. During the first round, he opened his round with an eagle and needed to make an eagle on the ninth, his last hole of the day, to shoot 59.[7] Thomas became the youngest player to shoot a sub-60 round. Thomas finished with rounds of 64, 65, and 65 to win the tournament by 7 strokes. He set tournament records for 18, 36, 54, and 72 holes (59, 123, 188, and 253, respectively). He also set PGA Tour records at 36 and 72 holes and tied the 54-hole record.

Settle down Tommy.

NYC July 4th weekend or whatever who's in?

the koepka-fleetwood group seems like the one today

did one of those "in the hole" guys just shout "say hello to your mother for me" as koepka hit a drive?

yes

jesus

Harman's big square putter is something else.

was thinking that, looks so amateur.

watching harman has given me a curious sense of deep melancholy

a shy and retiring presence, yet somehow irrepressible, yet somehow never going to win

tangenttangent would like to point out that she had money on koepka (and matsuyama and fowler to place in the top 8)

also had money on schwartzel, how did THAT work out

62!

KOOCH

Oh nooooo spieth what r u doin

is spieth the new norman?
