I was just watching the hockey game and they announced that the pairings for the first two rounds was going to be decided by world ranking. So in one group its players 1, 2, and 3, which is Tiger, Phil, and Adam Scott. Then 4, 5, and 6 and so on. You guys think that this is a good idea?

ESPN likes the idea! People will actually watch the first few rounds. Now if only we could get rid of Chris Berman...

But anyway, seriously, I think it's a good idea. The crowds following Tiger can't get much bigger anyway, and I think it'll help him to play against Phil and Adam (as it will help them).

Who can argue against a Tiger/Phil/Scott pairing? That's good stuff! Like Erik said, the golf will probably end up being better as well. It will be interesting to see how Adam Scott performs under the double pressure of playing with Tiger and Lefty. If he has a couple good rounds to start the week, it may propel him to the win.

Unfortunately, I have to go down the list quite a bit to find who Charles Howell III will be playing with the first two days.

Well there are two sides to that coin though. There will be huge crowds that go to see those first couple of groups, but many of the ameteur qualifiers and other lesser known golfers who get the chance to play in this great event and get the exposure by playing with bigger name players get that oppurtunity taken away and they play in groupings that will not get alot of airtime and attendence. But it will draw $, which is really what it comes down to.

That doesn't make sense. They didn't say they were ordering the pairings that way, just making them that way.

I imagine 1, 2, 3 will be play the morning, 4, 5, 6 will play the afternoon, and so on down the line.

Well the way they had shown it on the hockey game looked like 1, 2, 3 would go then 4, 5, 6 and so on but it didnt show tee times. And that is the only info that i am going off of right now. So i hope that they will do it the way that you explained because that makes more sense, which they probably will.

Yeah. It would be even more interesting to watch the first few days. I agree about about Chris Berman too, ugh.

I just want to see my boy Bubba do well again. Dude has been shooting mid to high 70's the past few weeks. Eeeek!

You're my age and an 8.4? Give up the dream, man, it ain't happenin'.

About the only thing I miss is trying to figure out some of the, uhhmmm... "reasons" behind some of the pairings.

I do not like it one bit.My reasons are as follows #1 wht all of a sudden do we change the draw just for ESPN? #2 Do they realize how much of the audience they will lose after that group is done?#3 I allways liked the idea of #1 and #2 being oppisite as far as late and early the first 2 days.But with that being said I am sure ESPN paid a lot to get that pairing so golf sells its ass also.

The 2007 U.S. Amateur Champion, Colt Knost, turned pro already. By doing that, he forfeited his right at an automatic exemption into the majors. He failed to qualify on his own, so the current U.S. Amateur Champ won't be playing this year's event. I'm not sure if that's one of the reasons they changed it up, but it could be. I imagine it's just about the viewership and money though, and it makes sense.

I am going Thursday and love the idea. I followed Phil on his first round at Sawgrass and that gallary was insane there. Cannot even imagine what it will be like with him & Tiger in same group. I am glad I am 6'2 so I will be able to see over all the short people. Gonna be an epic day!

He's got a good chance to win, people overlook him but he is very tough minded and when playing well can win the Open (obviously), in fact he should be one of the favorites with Tiger being an unknown at this time.

The pairings are unbelievable, made for TV ratings, it's going to create a huge buzz the first two days no doubt.

I dont think Tiger will make the cut. He hasnt played since Augusta and i think he'll shoot 2 x 80+. This is not some run of the mill tour event, this is the US Open where conditions are arguably their hardest.

wow settle down there. Keep in mind Tiger just doesn't loose at Torey Pines, he loves the course. I can guarantee that Tiger WILL make the cut.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
