Somewhat bold prediction: the winning score on Sunday is going to be -8. Same exact score as the day 1 leader.

You my friend...are looking like an absolute genius right now.

Gary Woodland's pitch, his left hand hit his thigh around impact. Interesting slow motion replay.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

Looks like it's going to be Stallings' day. I didn't think he'd last long on tour after winning at Greenbrier a few years ago, but this will be victory number three for him. Good job.

I did say that a " dark horse" might win it, although Gary still has a chance.

On Edit: Looks like Mr. Stallings is gonna be the Winnha...Congratz.

Wonder if this win is gonna turn Stallings into another Webb Simpson. Kinda same makeup. Came outta nowhere, very vanilla senses of style and style of play. Seems like a legit standup guy. Maybe start competing for a major an get lucky with one?

Oh Christ, not another season of petty Tiger bashing, is that really where we're going again? Where's Rick Martin, he usually likes to beat that drum too. What's with you guys and the unrelenting Tiger-hate? Does your wife work at Perkin's?

Just to be clear Ernest, I very much enjoy watching Tiger when he is contending or making a legitimate run at the top of the leader board. When he is hacking away I would just as soon watch those that are playing for the lead. He has, without a doubt, been good for the sport and bought a whole generation of new fans to the game.

Further more, if I were a Tiger Hater, as you suppose, then I would relish the continuous coverage of his lousy play, as it was this past weekend.

I wasn't referring to your post and I agree, I would rather watch coverage of the guys vying for the win than watch the superstar flirting with the cut line. My post was in reference to the wieners who claim to be be indifferent yet can't resist taking petty jabs at Tiger. If they really were indifferent (as opposed to foaming Tiger haters blinded by their passion for retribution against someone they have never met) they would writing posts about Stallings or Speith, but they're not. I admit that I like watching Tiger when he's winning or making a charge because it's electrifying and he is "the greatest player in the world no named Jack", but when he's totally out of contention I don't think about him at all. I like to watch golf to see players make amazing shots not to gloat and crow about Tiger's failings or successes. Can you imagine how lame it would come off if these same Chambleens (I think ill trademark that;-)) were making similar, sustained attacks against a Hoffman or a Perez? People would think they had mental issues.

Yours in earnest, Jason.

It's tough to talk about Stallings when no one knows him unless they search...

So they talk about Tiger... because it's easy to talk about Tiger ... the swing changes ... swing coaches ... Lindsey ... Rachel...

I don't mind that they show Tiger whenever he is on the course.  It's not like they are really taking away from showing the leaders ... they're showing all of their shots as well.  I think, what we should be complaining about, is how much time they spend showing Nick Faldo and Terry Gannon on camera and chatting about whatever, instead of showing more golf ... from anybody.

Well, sure, if I can have both I ain't gonna complain.

I am glad they caught Faldo's cupcake sticking to the window during the Humana Challenge though. :-$ Although I suppose that may have been "fixed".

    • Agree. The next omission needs to be that ridiculous team concept. Nobody cares about a team when they really don’t represent anything except being a group of diminished morality and/or washed up pro golfers. Or wait, we’ve also got total nobodies who’ve accomplished nothing who now get a participation trophy! Doesn’t that sound invigorating!
    • LIV moving to 72 holes is a subtle admission that 54 holes was nothing but a joke all along. 
    • I was going to start a thread, but this seems like the place.  Yesterday I played my matchplay match at my local club.  My opponent is a notorious sandbagger by reputation.  The pro once pulled his tournament rounds from the past several years and said that it is impossible his tournament rounds are legit based on his handicap. here is what happened last night.  I am getting 4 shots from him.  His current handicap index is 15.3 i shot 45 on the front.   Was down 4 after nine, he had three birdies and shot even par. I was closed out on thirteen, we halved with a bogey.  That bogey put him one over par for his round.   He then took a triple on 14 and then left. As if that wasn’t bad enough, he lied about his score.   I wrote down on my scorecard what the score was.  He put higher values that didn’t affect the outcome of the match to pad his score and apparently make it not look as obvious.   He shot 36 on the front, but claimed 40.  The higher values for his score were in the online scoring app our club uses.  He did it this way: I won #7. He had a 2 foot putt for par that if he made would still lose the hole.   He picked up and said it didn’t matter since I won.  He took a 5 instead of a 4 after picking up a gimme. on #8 his approach shot on this par 4 was 8 inches.  I verbally conceded the putt but I had hit into a hazard.  I finished the hole with a 6.  Instead of birdie he put in for par. on #9, another par 4, his approach was to 18 inches.  I missed my par putt and then knowing how close I verbally conceded the putt.  I missed my bogey putt, he never conceded mine.  Instead of birdie he put down a bogey. He padded his score by 4 shots on the front.  And then did again on 10.  I rinsed one and made 6 on a par 4.  I putted out and he was fishing balls out of the lake so I drove off to the next tee.  He had 15 feet laying two but claimed a 5.     love to know the odds of a 15 handicap being even thru 12 holes on a round of golf. 
    • They've been chuckling since they hooked the shark. I think Greg doesn't realize the jokes on him.
