Tiger and Rory tied for 1st thru Tiger's 13th today... I hope they get into a showdown on Sunday so Tiger can lay a beating on him and hopefully, talk some shit to each other. We don't see enough trash talk on the golf course.. IMO

I agree.. I don't like the guy either, but, I haven't seen that kind of situation in a long time. I want to see Rory get owned by THE MAN.

More importantly, Rory v. Tiger will produce a great drama on Sunday, now that Rory has had one bad experience with a Sunday Showdown, we can see how he handles it.

I hope he has learned from past experiences. That would make a great showdown!

Im not a fan of Rory, so I hope that Tiger lays an absolute beating on hom at one point or another. Any man who feels the need to wear a diamond skull belt buckle the size of Texas on a golf course (or anywhere for that matter) has lost my respect.

That is very true, I just wish he would think about what he says before he says it to the world sometimes. I mean come on, Tiger isn't the guy that is gonna lip back to you often, he's just gonna prove it on the course, and man can he ever.

They can have a "steel cage - loser leave town" match. It would grab my attention.

I'm one that enjoys someone not backing down from Tiger and pointing out that he's going after him. Whether he accomplishes that is another story. I'm just tired of people dropping to their knees and kissing his hand.

I've seen other golfers not back down from him; Vijay and Phil and stare him down and win on Sunday. We saw Angel Cabrera do it, too. Also, how many times has Tiger come back on Sunday and win a major? Zero. It's never spoken about for "fear of Tiger."

Just like it's never mentioned how he left the PGA Championship at Baltrusol without the round being finished and down only two strokes. Yet, the media crushes Randy Moss for leaving the field with two seconds left, his team down a touchdown and kicking off.

This is me missing details:

When was this incident at Batrusol? ( And the Randy Moss thing wasn't this year, was it? )

I'd like to see Rory win. Bring Tiger back down to earth, and show the rest of tour that he can - and will - be beaten.

I don't get the Tiger hype and fanfare. He's great and all... ok, next question? Just tired of people dropping to their knees when they hear "tiger".

I would love to see Tiger own Rory on a Sunday as much as anyone; however it can't be denied that Rory has been playing great golf lately.

It looks like he has handled the equipment change pretty well.

This is me missing details:

Baltrusol was the year Phil won it; it was a Monday finish and Tiger finished on Sunday. He was close to the lead but felt that he didn't have a chance at a playoff, so flew home on Sunday night. If it had gone to a playoff and he wasn't there he'd have been SOL.

I caught the broadcast last night and noticed they made a big deal about Rory donating his money to a Reading foundation that helped out military parents and their children. It helped his image to be able to speak on the subject (good PR for a change).

Tiger later said that he drove the ball poorly, stating that it didn't matter if it was a driver, 3w, or 5w he didn't have it...either hitting it low left or high right. He felt good that he posted a low number in despite of this.

I really hope someone can challenge Tiger and take some wins from him. We need a real rivalry in golf. I don't think that Phil is the answer. Someone needs to step up and challenge him. It would be great for golf.

Also, how many times has Tiger come back on Sunday and win a major? Zero. It's never spoken about for "fear of Tiger."

I certainly do not wish to start (or wade into the middle of) an argument that's maybe slightly off the thread topic. And I agree with your general sentiments. I also wish "the field" would at least appear to push Tiger more. For an interesting discussion of Tiger's effect on a tournament field, check out this

recent article at Slate . But... Never spoken about?! If Tiger isn't in the lead after Saturday, announcers mention this before, during, and after nearly every shot the guy takes on Sunday. It's the dominant narrative of every major Sunday if Tiger isn't at the top of the leaderboard. It's also fairly silly, I think, rather like Phil can't win in a major or Peyton Manning can't win the big game. Tiger's the most accomplished player in the sport right now, maybe the most talented ever, and his competitive drive and ability to focus are incredible. At some point, he's probably going to win a major when trailing after Saturday. If he doesn't, it will be a completely meaningless fluke.
Just like it's never mentioned how he left the PGA Championship at Baltrusol without the round being finished and down only two strokes.

I remember him getting killed for this the week following the tournament. I can't remember whether it was mentioned on the broadcast, but he was roundly criticized for it elsewhere. (Or maybe I listened to too much talk radio!)

Oddly, in all the talk of this (I think reckless) episode, no one ever suggests that Tiger showed Phil an enormous amount of respect by leaving Sunday night. He knew Mickelson would pull it out. And he was right. But I still cannot believe Woods actually left.

And................ I'm officially jealous.

My practice partner from Phoenix when I played on the Gateway Tour, is officially leading the Buick open.

Kevin Streelman. This freakin' kid grew up caddying for me, became my practice partner in Phoenix, and is now leading, and got in as an alternate. He did really well in Qschool this past year, and earned his PGA Tour card.. but shit..

I'm jealous...
