wow. this guy is ridiculous. i hope tiger comes back and gets a taste of what this guy is cooking. wow.

are you serious? this guy won't touch Tiger. Pad won because he was going against Sergio. If Sergio doesn't hit a ball directly into the water, they are atleast in a playoff. Once again, Sergio handed this away.

Tiger would have won by 5 strokes today, atleast.

He made some great putts to keep himself in the lead. Very good putter. For sure the 2nd best player in the World.

Padraig is no doubt the BEST golfer in 2008.

I agree. I hope that in 2009 he could win more and more. I hope to see in a final group in a major with Tiger.

I'm sad golf season is almost over Regards!

He's fantastic.

Look at all his major wins, he's been sitting a few shots from the lead but is just simply magnificent on the day where it all falls apart for so many. His recovery shots and putting today were unbeliveable.

Well done to Padraig, he comes across well in the media as a good guy. Bob Torrance was saying he's the hardest working player he has ever worked with.

Pad is going to eat tiger's lunch when that gimp gets back on tour.

He already did in '07 at Carnoustie.

No, I suspect tiger will come back pretty strong especially if he takes his doctor's advice so that he stays healthy.

Wrong. But Padraig

is a great player and deserves every congratulation! However, by virtue of the comparative statistics alone, he is not Tiger and will never compare to Tiger.

The entire week on TV, nothing but Sergio, Phil and Tiger left toe nail (or whatever about Tiger).
I love Harrington. Always below the radar! Nobody talks about him!
Last year, The Open, 1st major win, he caught them (the golf journalists) off guard! "He is a One timer, and I don't think we'll be hear from him soon"
July 2008, The Open, Biggest story, The Shark! And what happens, BAM Harrington again!
August 2008, PGA Championship, Sergio, Sergio, Sergio, Phil, Phil, Phil, Tigers knee, Tigers Knee, Tigers Knee. And what happens! From the left field, Paddy again. Wait a minute lads! I'm here too, and I'm going to win! Second straight.
Way to Go Padraig Harrington,

The coverage of the year's Open that I saw mentioned Harrington quite a bit. I heard story after story about the defending champ and his ailing wrist on Tuesday, Wednesday through the start of the tourney ... the man has gotten his just due.

Harrington is playing really well right now, but he's no Tiger Woods. When Tiger comes back, its going to go back to being business as usual: Tiger winning and everyone else playing for 2nd place.
Harrington made a lot of mistakes and if Garcia hadnt knocked it into the water, we very easily could have been talking about Garcia winning his first major.
Well-played by Harrington though, he did just enough to win and thats really all that matters.

I can't say whether Tiger vs. Padraig would be obviously a Tiger win. . .Things are going to be different when Tiger returns. I definitely agree that Phil should no longer be #2 in the world. He hasn't won a major in 2 years, and just hasn't been very impressive since early, early in the year.

I like Padraig, I think he's great for the game. Can't wait to see he and Tiger duel it out next year.

EDIT: I also saw an interesting statistic on TGC. . .They added up the scores of the players who made the cut for all 4 majors this year. Padraig was at a COMBINED 7 over. The next closest player (2nd) was 21 over. Phil was in 3rd at +22.

His pars on 16 and 18 were incredible. 16 was amazing because he hit a terrible second shot. SG was already in the water and it would have been a great opportunity to pick up two strokes. Just a great up and down for par. Had he missed, I think it would have been a different story. Not just with SG but with Ben, too.

On 18, what can you say? Just an great third shot and "ice water in the veins" par putt.

A well-deserved win.

      Strategy - Inverary Golf Club Hole 14

      By 4zim ·

      Thanks everyone. I’ll likely play this hole a few times over the summer and will report back.    A sick little one plus Mother’s Day may have changed the likelihood that I’ll get to test the approach this weekend though.

      Strategy - Inverary Golf Club Hole 14

      By GolfLug ·

      Yes, our HCP #1 is a longer par 5 (No.3). It's a big wide open hole but has large fairway bunkers that come into play on at least two of the first three shots for shorter hitters. So it's long and treacherous enough (due to bunkers) for shorter or slightly crooked hitters. Par is a great score. For long and straightish hitters (typically lower caps) the bunkers are not in play on either shots. It's simply a high percentage birdie hole for them.

      Day 9 (10 May 24) - Played 18 with a good friend and one of his coworkers.  Was not a solid scoring round, but lots of opportunites for course management. Had a blast as we truly "got our money's worth" as my friend jokingly said.  Had some solid shots and finished the round with a solid birdie on 17 (the only really good hole of the day).

      My Golf Swing Journey

      I always wonder when people say they "tried" a golf swing out. I thought I had a topic on it, but when I searched DuckDuckGo for "trying" a golf swing or method limited to this site… "trying"+a+golf+swing+or+method+site:thesandtrap.com at DuckDuckGo DuckDuckGo. Privacy, Simplified. This very topic was the first search result. 🤣
