I honestly thought it was absurd for him to stand there and put both arms up and then pause to soak in the adulation for what seemed like an eternity. I think a tip of the cap would have been sufficient, maybe waiving to the fans in all directions or something like that.

Just wait till it's Faldo's "turn"

I think you guys are crazy! he won 5 opens! It has been a massive part of his life and what he will be remembered for decades from now. I taught it was a very special moment, the crowd went crazy and its something I wont forget. He deserved every second of it, an absolute legend!

I would have thought Watson would have demonstrated just a touch of humility, but I guess not.

Maybe he got disoriented and forgot where he was?

Humility - rhymes with senility

yeah, well at least sir nick has a good sense of humor about things, if he did do something like that it would be more tongue in cheek than what watson did. it got pretty awkward after about 15 seconds.

I'm looking for Westwood to win this tourney. He is in a great position if Oosthuizen falters(which I expect him to do).

It's not like he's gagged them away a la Scott Hoch or the fabulous Jean Van De Velde - he's just been outplayed. But I think his time is coming.

I think we see a lot of guys fall back tomorrow. Lee Westwood, Loius Can'tSpellHisName, Mark Can'tSpellThisOneEither, Tiley, Lehman, Jeong. I think Casey has a chance, O'Hair has a chance because he has been putting well, and I think if Tiger makes all of his putts inside 10 feet from here on out he wins hands down. As much as I dislike him, I also think John Daly has a chance if he gets over himself, stops kicking plants, and makes putts. He has burned the edge on so many putts the last few days, it's a miracle that he isn't leading.

Judy Rankin (who was following Tiger's group reporting for ESPN) said during the round just how well Tiger hit his driver and his irons. His ball striking was as good (or better) as we've seen him all year, and in that wind you can't fire at flags. The ball kept landing and running away from the pin, leaving him (and everyone) a lot of long putts. Which put pressure on Tiger's lag putting, and pressure on his ability to make 8 footers, which he did not do. I think th fact that he has to manipulate the ball so much in the wind gives Tiger a big advantage, it makes him really bear down and focus. And he pulls shots off more often than anyone. His up and down game has also been very good.

In my bag:

Driver: Titleist TSi3 | 15º 3-Wood: Ping G410 | 17º 2-Hybrid: Ping G410 | 19º 3-Iron: TaylorMade GAPR Lo |4-PW Irons: Nike VR Pro Combo | 54º SW, 60º LW: Titleist Vokey SM8 | Putter: Odyssey Toulon Las Vegas H7

Why Phil needs to hit home run drives is beyond me. He could hit long irons to safe areas and have better iron shots to the greens. 40 mph winds and he's playing hero........... total idiot.

We have no idea about the the guy in the lead, and we are making these kind of presumptions? If its fairly calm.... he is in a nice place. Im just throwing it out there for discussion - not argument. The guy looks solid. He played position all day and came in looking pretty good.

      Angle is not a factor. I hit the ball 100’ high. Par is net birdie. My CH is 16. The rough between the bunkers is like 10’ wide though. That’s not something you’re going to try to hit on purpose. Most of the area to the left of that is fescue/native vegetation and I’m pretty sure there isn’t a flat lie in any of it. It’s the second hole.

      Hello all.  I'm about to be 57 yrs old, started playing when I was 16, and have quit and restarted the game more times than I can count.  I had started playing a weekly round with a friend, and finally made the jump to Senior A shafted Tour Edge clubs.  Instantly gained 10 yds with an easier swing (why didn't I make that jump sooner???).  Glad to be a part of the group. Cheers all,

      I think I like this hole.  It is a clear "Risk-Reward" choice.  Since most of the shots in your cone cleared the bunkers I would say they are a minor risk and not a big issue.  Playing the aggressive line may give you 70ish yards in from what looks to be playable rough while conservative play is 120ish from fairway.  I know you said 70 vs 120 is minor for you but how does the approach angle in impact your results?  I figure both strategies are playing for Birdie since holing out from either is mostly luck. Looking at your proximity hole I think it says @ 50 feet when hitting from the fairway from 100-150 and 40 feet if hitting 50-100 from the rough.  Neither of those is an easy birdie putt.   I like the approach angle from the rough between the bunkers & the adjacent tees over the angle from @ 120 in the fairway but I really do not like the idea of hitting onto the adjacent tee boxes and that may impact my confidence with making the shot.  Also, too far left may be a worse approach angle then from the fairway short of the bunkers. For me this may come down to how confident do I feel when I reach that tee box.  If I am stroking it well off the tee leading up to the hole I would try for over the bunkers and the better angle in but if I am struggling that day I would likely opt for the fairway to take more bad stuff out of play.
