Tour Championship

I heard Jim got up and down 8 times out of 8 times from the bunkers and on 18th hit a $10,000,000+ (his wining on the tournament) bunker shot to secure the win.

this is correct

Good for Jim. He's one of my favorite golfers, and seems like a good guy. It's also nice to see that his cell phone battery didn't cost him $10 million. So far Tiger Woods, Vijay Singh, and Jim Furyk have won the Fed Ex Cup. As much as we like to whine about how a lot of "bad" players are in the top 30, those are 3 of the greatest golfers of the past 15 years.

It's great to see Furyk carve a bigger slot for himself in golf history.

It's been a great year for him, and this Championship puts a very large exclamation point on his efforts.

yea I know, he got a good deal on one. He was playing with the Yes! Sophia putter and if you look those up online they are like 140 bucks everywhere. That golf store must of already had them marked down. Too many people are making it sound like he picked up a putter from walmart

You never know :P I've seen him use I think at least 4 or 5 different putters this year. He used to use an Odyssey White Hot Tour #7, a Cameron prototype, another Odyssey blade, w/e his belly putter model was, something else, and this new Yes! putter. I remember sitting there after the 3rd round of the PGA Championship watching him hit 5 footers for like an hour after he had missed like 6 that day which basically took him out of contention. I think it would drive me crazy to practice 5 footers for an hour, but either way I stuck it out and got his autograph lol, now I'm even more glad I did :P

yea well we cant really say he won with a 39 dollar putter because they were selling it for 70 bucks but gave him a huge percent off because he was Jim Furyk in their shop. 70 bucks to me isnt a no name putter, if he had went into walmart and picked up some 20 dollar dunlap putter then I would be impressed.

Yes, he confirmed in his presser that is where he bought it. Listed at $65 - they gave it to him for $39 without any negotiation by him..lol He said it had a ding on the topline and a nick on the flange but it was the only heel shafted model without an alignment line among the 300 in the shop; exactly what he was looking for. cant believe they didnt just give it to him.....

yea thats what I was thinking, I probably would of told him to take it but then again he has millions

Possible Player of the Year?

That's pretty much how it works - the only people who have to pay full price are the people who can't afford it.

Yes, correct. I was watching that final bunker shot and I thought it came out pretty hot with some good speed and I was like ohhh no, it's going to go a bit past the hole!!! Then it just checked up. Furyk is a stand up guy by all accounts, and was great to see him grind it out to take it all.

Errr, did anyone else here the booing of Luke Donald when he chipped in? If so, utterly pathetic.

Yeah, everyone says "Luuuuuuuuuke" as a cheer.

[sean_miller]

Yeah, everyone says "Luuuuuuuuuke" as a cheer.

I'm surprised nobody says "Luuuke . . . I am your father."

Booorns!

Like people have said, they were yelling Luuuuuuke. Like the Youuuuuuuuuk chant in Boston.
