I hit the ball farther than Corey Pavin, yet he's the one under par after three days playing a 7,600-yard course. How does he do it? (He gets his 260-yard drives in the fairway, while my 260-yard drives have minds of their own. It's a simple concept, really.)

It's a little more than just finding the fairway...

Maybe it's the fact he's better in every facet of the game than you?...

As close as the tournament seems to be, here's another way of looking at it: if Tiger shoots 70 on Sunday, two players will have to shoot 67 to win and the next two will have to shoot 65.

Yeah. I love Tiger's chances on Sunday, obviously. I'd be SHOCKED if he lost or it went to a playoff, to be honest with all of you.

I think he'll cruise to victory.

CG, I stumbled across a new incident involving Sergio and poor behavior:

http://www.startribune.com/sports/go...tml?page=2&c;=y
Ten years ago this month, Sergio Garcia ran up the fairway at Medinah Country Club outside Chicago, famously leapt in the air to spy his shot off tree roots and in a moment left a lasting memory of a 19-year-old sensation surely destined for major-championship greatness. On Friday, he was seen running across a fairway again. This time, it was after he struck his lay-up shot at Hazeltine National Golf Club's par-5 15th hole. This time, though, he crossed a cart path, straddled a neighbor's fence and took a bathroom break in somebody's backyard, next to a tree. Garcia followed an opening-day 71 with a 78 Friday and missed the cut.

It's more of a funny story than anything, but it shouldn't have happened at all. WTF was he thinking?

I don't know, but it's pretty hilarious. I'm surprised ESPN didn't make a big deal about it. Nice share.

Yes it is pretty hilarious. I bet that homeowner gave him a hard time about it (not in a serious way though, more in a joking manner). I bet his playing partners gave him all kinds of hell for it. LOL.

Yeah, LOL. It's pretty stupid but whatever, when you can't hit a golf ball that well, you do what you want.

well, when nature calls. i guarantee you that guy will be telling anyone who'll listen for the next year that sergio garcia pissed in his yard.

but seriously, kenny perry's stance is not unlike a drunk guy trying to take a piss outside the club in the parking lot.

Tiger playing so conservatively, I wonder if he is losing confidence because he isn't hitting good shots today.

    • 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.       
    • 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?      
    • Day 281 6-10 Full swing, fast, getting low point ahead of "towel".  Working on flow during this seems to help.
