Stuff like this keeps happening at PGA Events. It's a gentleman's game. You're not sitting in the bleachers at Wrigley Field or the upper deck at Yankee Stadium. Last week, it was someone wishing Vijay put a ball in the water.

I don't think anything is wrong with words of encouragement after the player has hit the shot. That adds excitement. However, laughing when someone misses a putt, yelling in the middle of a back swing and stuff like that needs to stop. I thought the fan who yelled during Vijay's back swing at Arnold's event was awful.

Scott is putting like a demon, -13 now.

Butch Harmon has just said that Phil Mickelson has 2 drivers in his bag today, one with a 46' shaft that he is going to use at Augusta and he fancied giving it a try out today.

Cleveland, I don't disagree with words of encouragement. It's just the method. I've heard people say "Beautiful shot, insert player name" or "nice chip, putt, etc." It's just the yelling that is annoying. Sorry if I was unclear.

Anyone know what happened with that guy not being able to use his putter?

I asked this of Ben when he followed a group at the Buick Open and want to ask you, too. Watching these guys in person, what impresses you the most?

Honestly...the who gives a s..t attitude they all had on the tee box. What i really noticed is how matter a fact they are with the driver...all of them. Trying to mimick it in my game.

And of course all other aspects of their game!

assuming they're playing today, my $ is on Adam Scott.

And yet Geoff is bogey-free through 36 holes and in the lead. Bogey-free and the most birdies of the field thus far. Not a bad combination.

Greenside bunker on a par 5 in 2 (or par 4 in one) - if you don't get up and down, that's a par (provided you 2 putt). That's probably his <100% statistic.

Greetings ....

Ogilvy leads by 4 (5 over Tiger). Furyk, Singh, Goosen and Storm among those with hot 3rd rounds.

Stay away, rain! We want an exciting finish TODAY!


Thanx-A-Lot, Frank-0-Sport

Looks like they're in 3-balls with a 2-tee start.

Lets hope it gets finished today! Tavistock Cup tomorrow!

for all that this is for a great cause and I have never seen such a pointless love-in in all my life.

[BASHERBAKER69]

I predict Tiger shoots 64 to win and Ogilvy shoots 75...Tiger wins by 3 shots.

[Eore]

i bet ogilvy shoots 71, tiger shoots 66, and storm shoots a 62

[Shindig]

Guys, guys... Ogilvy is going to shoot a bogey-free something in the high 60s. Tiger's going to need to go low to beat him today.

We've been wondering when Tiger's going to get around to posting that 58. Perhaps today is that day!
