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.

only problem with that is that Westwood will choke.....again!

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.

      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?
