Too bad we're not doing a podcast this week or we'd have to give him credit.

Great win for Davis. I still like to watch him play. Nothing against Tiger or Tigermania, but I miss seeing much of Davis, Freddy, et al, when the networks decided to focus a laser on Tiger for the entire 18.

Did anyone else have that feeling that DLIII was going to throw the tournament away? I kinda did, but he played very well over the weekend to snag the win. I'm very happy for him, and I hope it springboards him into 2007 with a flurry.

It was nice to see my three favorites finish high as well (Howell III, Moore, and Mahah). I was actually pretty into this tournament. Sometimes it's nice to like the small guys.

During the middle of the coverage yesterday they were saying that Ryan Moore could be the guy take down Tiger, seems to me everything someone mentions taking down Tiger they get the NFL Madden curse. Although, I would like to see Moore finish a tournament as strong as he starts one. Any news if he will get that sugary after the season or play through it intill it hurts him for good?

Yeah, that's one of the reasons all these young Americans are struggling. Everyone is trying to put the label of "next Tiger" on them, and that's unfair. Charles Howell III and Ryan Moore have had that label now. Moore has had a little trouble on the weekend as of late, although a final-round 69 or 70 isn't too bad.

I'm not sure about the surgery, but he definitely needs to have it. The TV announcers were acting like it was his regular style the other day. When I was watching, they didn't even inform the audience that it was due to his wrist injury. I usually don't get down on the commentators, but they do need to know their facts.

The "next Tiger" may come along in 30 years. I personally won't pin that name on anyone for at least that long*.

* Never say never, so I'm leaving myself an out. But it's like 99.99999% likely what I said is going to be true.

I agree completely, and that's why it's unfair to guys like Howell III and Moore. I'd be surprised if either wins four or five majors in their career, much less 20.

I believe it will be more than 30 years before we see the next Tiger-esque golfer on this planet. And I apologize to DLIII for taking his topic out of whack a little. Congrats again Davis!!

I was so happy to see Davis get the monkey off his back...and yes Cody, I still had thoughts that DLIII might throw the tournament away. Erik even called me and asked that very question.

I think he felt at ease at Forest Oaks...heck, he knows every bump on every green, so he didn't have any excuses. Davis did hit the ball really, really well though and didn't put himself in the position to screw up.

Great job Davis. You're still in my top 5 now.

Fairways and Greens.

I don't hate Michelle. I actually root for her...in LPGA events. I understand why they give her sponsors exemptions, but I think she needs to win some on the LPGA Tour (that is, if the idiots would grant her membership).

Now, back to topic. Davis rubs a lot of people the wrong way because he seems aloof out there, but I liken that to how Tiger acts on the golf course. I'm not crazy that Davis is a Tar Heel (go Duke!) but I still pull for him every week he's in the field.

DL III strikes me as a sportsman, a likeable guy, and a consistent contender for a lot of years. I get the impression that he's very likeable.

The people I have a tough time with are guys like Stephen Ames. He holds media and everyone else in contempt. At least thats how it seems. Sabbatini deserved the boos he got for playing ahead of Ben Crane. Slow or not.

      I Love Charley Hull Now and Agree With Her Completely

      I don't think the viewer at home can pick up on pace of play, unless the announcers mention something. The telecast has the luxury of bouncing from player to player, which ensures we the viewer always have something to watch.  I think we would notice pace of play if the camera just followed one golfer for an entire round. Or  You were actually golfing behind the slow group Or  The slow group is the last to only group left to finish the tournament.  I like the idea of having a person carrying a digital clock, following each golfer. When the golfer gets to the ball and the group in front of them has cleared they have 60 seconds or they get a penalty stroke. Maybe a second violation is a 2 stroke penalty.  Or as I have said before, every golfer wears a shock collar!!!!! at 1 min 1 second that golfer if going to drop. It will take them a good 30 second to recover, leaving them with another 30 seconds to hit the shot. The course would be littered with golfers just convulsing on fair way from an endless cycle of shocks because they cant seem to hit their ball and keep pace of play.

      This isn't the same thing.  This is entirely a time of year thing. Not a trend.  This is the COVID year.  There are many who think the Masters viewership was actually way up. The 2024 ratings being down is only for CBS televisions. It doesn't include anyone (including me) who watched it online.

      Ha, I didn't even notice that "NFL competition" part… I just dismissed it on face because pause has very little if any role in TV ratings.

      Wait a second. That is a bit misleading to drag a 4 year old headline about the ratings when the Masters was delayed during the pandemic. The 2024 ratings were down but not to the extent that this headline would imply. Also, @iacas is correct. Any ratings drop has very little, or perhaps, nothing to do with pace of play.
