2014 Honda Classic Discussion Thread

Why so cynical?  I watched most of the last couple of hours yesterday and didn't see a single highlight of his.

I saw replays of his highlights at least 3 times throughout the broadcasts on the GC and NBC.

I'm rooting for him as well. Although, I like Henley so I hope he gives him a run for his money! The 2 of them tied coming into the Bear Trap would make for an entertaining finish!!

Yeah, I like Henley too, was expecting more from him last season. I think he'll give Rory all he can handle today. Great pairing. Edit* SPLASH!!!

[Bananarama]

hole 3s driving stats are pretty good, with the average and max looking at about 260 and 291 yards for the last round. This is almost in the realms of us mere mortals!  Awesome!

I know it's still close but I can't see any of these guys having enough mettle to take down a bigshot like Rory.

That depends on Rory. If he can keep his foot on the gas and have another sub par round he should be golden but, a lot of guys had stellar rounds yesterday so he can't lay back. Another birdie just brought him back to a 3 shot lead.

[Ernest Jones]

I was hoping Rory and Henley would match each other shot for shot but that wasn't what I had in mind. :-P

Tiger just withdrew. Hurt again? Seriously.....how many times has he gotten hurt now in the last few years? Only people I see get hurt as much as he does are people who take things they're not supposed to take. Not saying he did....but just find it strange he's getting hurt this much.

Toothache??

He just walked off the back nine?

Edit: Just said it was back problems.

[jamo]

I see what Tiger's doing. He saw Rory WD last year and dominate this year, now he wants in. EDIT: NBC just said it was his back. The one tournament of the year where he can sleep in his own bed, and his back is hurting?

Wow, Tiger shot 52 today!! What a historic.....oh.....never mind.

I was just about to post "Cue the Rick Martin hater post" but you beat him to it. Good job...

[iacas]

I had a dream that Tiger shot 56…

Awwww, man, I was so close! If only he'd have played one more hole. :)

Players quit mid round occasionally, out of curiosity do they tell the Marshall? appologize to their partner for the day, or typically just walk off and not say a word? What's the prodessional etiquette?

Better than blaming it on that 40 on the front...... :-D No reason not to believe him, he really didn't play poorly this week.

[Mr. Desmond]

Tiger ... Foley ... Injuries

= No mo' majors.

A player is required to give a reason for a withdrawl mid-round, which Tiger did to an official and a pool reporter.

So you think hes never going to win another major?
