This is simply amazing. I don't just mean the golf - but that's awesome too. I mean my friends who haven't started their summer work yet and who have never swung a golf club or watched golf before are sending me messages, telling me that they're watching this and it's actually exciting. I may have to dig out my old GI irons and bring some friends to the range this upcoming week.

Similar to my friends who watched Masters Sunday with me, but those had actually hit balls a few times.

Should Tiger win this, I think Rocco will look back at no 9 and regret it. Tiger saves par after a bad bunker shot while Rocco could not save par from the green. You can't give away strokes and that was pretty awful.

It's over. Rocco is just not playing very well. He had to have his 'A' game to match Woods and he just doesn't have it.

Have to see a bit of what Tiger does with this chip on the 12th.

I mean, technically, it's not over. It's just that Rocco has had SO MANY freakin' chances and he continues to blow them. He's got to stop blowing it by the hole 3 or 4 feet on every birdie opportunity. He's going to putt himself right out of it.

Can someone at NBC go drag Bob Murphy down from his tower and mail him back to The Villages? Silence is far superior to anything he has said all day. Heck, even Miller is better.

holy f*** what a bunker shot.

Someone said Tiger was inhuman. Cue the music from the "X Files."

Wow ... Tiger was one revolution of the ball short of nailing a bomb of a birdie putt on 16.

I thought that one was going in. He really needed it.

      Phil Mickelson Booted out of Farms Golf Club

      By Shindig · Posted

      While it does turn out that both Tiger and Phil are less squeaky clean than I previously believed, I don't think golf quite has the worst in professional sports.  Or maybe they're better at image management.   Obviously I'm not fond of Phil's issue we're discussing in this thread (or his involvement with LIV) or Tiger's choices of how to drive.  I used to really like Dustin Johnson and, even before the LIV situation, we started to hear rumors that he bought more snow than Seward, although I don't think those stories were ever substantiated.  Meanwhile, I did think of Anthony Kim as the "good, bad boy" of the tour for a while fifteen years ago because of his party persona -- and if it turns out the worst he did was show up hung over to play (barring what one thinks of LIV), that's pretty good.  And I'm still happy he found a way to get his life clean. If we contrast that with some other sports I enjoy, I'm sure we could find a nice long list of NFL players that, at one point in my life, I was quite fond of, we get far worse disappointments (to put it mildly).

      Answering that properly would land me in hot water, so I'm not going to. I don't think that many people would do that. I think that in certain circumstances many people would be willing to overlook someone doing that. But I was really referring to what I assumed was Tiger's transgressions (cheating on his wife) not Phil's.

      No! Is a large part of the human population selfish, apathetic and cuts corners in the name of self-preservation 'more than they would like to admit', yes. Degenerate, scum, etc?.. no!! Most humans/men would not grope a woman like Phil is accused of doing (I think he absolutely did). That is scum. I mean what % of men do you think would do that? Seriously??
