sergio don't blow this

k3vin k., Sunday, 9 April 2017 23:26 (seven years ago) link

Not even sergio Garcia on seve ballasteros birthday could fuck this one up

virginity simple (darraghmac), Sunday, 9 April 2017 23:26 (seven years ago) link

rose has the same putt, if he makes it sergio's gonna sweat

k3vin k., Sunday, 9 April 2017 23:28 (seven years ago) link

uhh, nick, it's like match point gasquet

k3vin k., Sunday, 9 April 2017 23:29 (seven years ago) link

Looking fairly relaxed, Sergio. I wouldn't be if I'd been putting like him.

Punnet of the Grapes (Tom D.), Sunday, 9 April 2017 23:29 (seven years ago) link

YES!!

Ooooooooooooh yes!

Easier than two putting it

Played that hole incredibly well

What first attracted u to multimillionaire hat hair model Sergio Garcia

virginity simple (darraghmac), Sunday, 9 April 2017 23:35 (seven years ago) link

A thought for Westwood now, who takes over Sergio's mantle as Best Without (aka the Colin Montgomerie Award)

an uptempo Pop/Hip Hop mentality (imago), Sunday, 9 April 2017 23:36 (seven years ago) link

The longest, maybe

virginity simple (darraghmac), Sunday, 9 April 2017 23:38 (seven years ago) link

A weight off Padraig's conscience too, the way he's talking now

Don't believe a bit of it. After what was done to us on Gibraltar that time and the armada sending us a box of shite.

virginity simple (darraghmac), Sunday, 9 April 2017 23:39 (seven years ago) link

Never thought Garcia would recover from the putt on 18. His approach on 18 was among the greatest shots I've ever seen, I think, taken in context--Rose gets a wildly lucky bounce, Garcia's history, etc. The putt was godawful. And then he hits another brilliant approach on the playoff hole.

Yerman was all like lol fuckoff will i go pro and take a paycut

virginity simple (darraghmac), Sunday, 9 April 2017 23:47 (seven years ago) link

LOL I've had tougher decisions to make.

the donning of the green jacket is still the weirdest ceremony in sport

Number None, Sunday, 9 April 2017 23:53 (seven years ago) link

grats to sergio. that was a great battle. rose will win it one of these days.

call all destroyer, Monday, 10 April 2017 00:04 (seven years ago) link

loath as I am to bring rugger into this, the answer may well be the haka xxp

an uptempo Pop/Hip Hop mentality (imago), Monday, 10 April 2017 00:06 (seven years ago) link

Yeah the haka is some bullshit

virginity simple (darraghmac), Monday, 10 April 2017 00:07 (seven years ago) link

thought rose had it right up until his miss on 17, then it was either. hopefully he will win it, he's got such a great game

an uptempo Pop/Hip Hop mentality (imago), Monday, 10 April 2017 00:07 (seven years ago) link

grudging respect to charl schwartzel for sneaking into 2nd, that guy will be making masters cuts 25 years from now.

call all destroyer, Monday, 10 April 2017 00:22 (seven years ago) link

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

k3vin k., Monday, 10 April 2017 01:52 (seven years ago) link

Otm. That was great.

Lebro v. Wade (Spottie), Monday, 10 April 2017 02:02 (seven years ago) link

somewhere down the back stretch nick mentioned that it had turned into match play, which is a comfort zone for sergio. i also read something in the past day or two about how his playing partner makes a difference to him. so--match play against a friendly face--taking NOTHING away from the guy but it had to help.

call all destroyer, Monday, 10 April 2017 02:05 (seven years ago) link

With regards to the best current guy without a major, it's gotta be Kuchar, right? He's top tenned every major in his career, won plenty of tourneys. He's obviously not in the same tier as Sergio, but he's prob the most accomplished of the tour veterans without majors

lee westwood's window is mostly closed but it's crazy he hasn't gotten one.

call all destroyer, Monday, 10 April 2017 02:20 (seven years ago) link

i think westwood's got a better resume -- 23 european tour wins, top 3s in every major

k3vin k., Monday, 10 April 2017 02:24 (seven years ago) link

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

neva missa lost, wednesday nights on abc (voodoo chili), Monday, 10 April 2017 02:43 (seven years ago) link

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

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

xyzzzz__, Monday, 10 April 2017 20:32 (seven years ago) link

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.

clemenza, Tuesday, 11 April 2017 00:10 (seven years ago) link

four weeks pass...

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

call all destroyer, Saturday, 13 May 2017 03:05 (six years ago) link

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

Spottie, Saturday, 13 May 2017 03:13 (six years ago) link

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.

call all destroyer, Saturday, 13 May 2017 03:17 (six years ago) link

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

Spottie, Saturday, 13 May 2017 03:30 (six years ago) link

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

mookieproof, Saturday, 13 May 2017 03:40 (six years ago) link

I heard general stuff like that but no real stories.

Spottie, Saturday, 13 May 2017 03:44 (six years ago) link

i loved els!

k3vin k., Saturday, 13 May 2017 04:01 (six years ago) link

anyone who wins oakmont is my man

mookieproof, Saturday, 13 May 2017 04:07 (six years ago) link

els was awesome!

Spottie, Saturday, 13 May 2017 04:08 (six years ago) link

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

imago, Saturday, 13 May 2017 09:12 (six years ago) link

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:

http://www.espn.com/golf/story?id=1552644

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.

Bein' Sean Bean (LocalGarda), Saturday, 13 May 2017 10:14 (six years ago) link

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