Wow. We Euro-trash really got it in the neck in this thread. Nobody understands us, really! We ALWAYS spit when we miss easy putts!!! If you come to Europe and play golf with us here, you will find little courtesy spittoons everywhere. Usually, they are the little plastic upturned funnel-things on the tee-boxes, but most people clutter them up with broken tees. A disgusting habit, throwing broken tees into our spittoons!!! Most of our cinema and aeroplanes' carpeted floors are awash with our bodily fluids which we proudly deposit at every opportunity - it keeps the air moist and stops us from getting virus-borne diseases from crowded places. Our underground transport system also actually rides on cushions of human spit. Come on guys! Shove another wad of that tasty gum-cancer producing gorgeous chewy tabaccky in your cheeks and let's hear it for Sergio, Master Expectoranta from Espana!!!!!!!! The ingenious intellect of this thread has me panting for more!!!

It's not a "euro trash" thing...it is an immature, spoiled (not that other golf pros aren't), got too much cash than common sense thing. Not all on this forum paint with such a broad brush stroke...

There's no "benefit of the doubt" to give here. What are you smoking? He's on camera spitting into the cup. There's no "doubt" - he spat in the cup. It's undeniable.

Obviously it's only that small hand full of winers, like yourself, that it's still bothering. You're so full of yourself. Read your comments and listen to yourself? Fine him, don't allow him to play, bla bla bla.. Why not send a hit-squad? Yeah, it's a gentlemens game, but you sound like a suffed shirted, highty tighty, prep that belongs chasing and catering to Buffy somewhere. Lighten up dude!

With your substandard English, it's hard to understand what point you're trying to make. It sounds as if you think calling people names is a good argument. It's not.

Is this Buffy or an English/Grammar professor?

Everyone else understood it fine..... (Edited by moderator)

It has been taken overboard already, but the incident shouldn't have gone unnoticed either. He should have been fined $5,000 or so, and that should have been the end of it.

He was definitely in the wrong, but he shouldn't be crucified for it either. It was magnified because it was Sergio, and that was a little unfair. If Tiger would have done it (and I'm not saying he ever would), it wouldn't have been as big of a deal. Throwing down F-Bombs on camera isn't acting in a gentleman-like manner either, but Tiger does it occasionally (and Stuart Appleby today in Houston).

Shit happens. Get over it and move on.

Uh, yeah, no... First of all, Tiger wouldn't behave like that. Second, if he did, he sure as hell wouldn't say "it's no big deal." Finally, he'd be strung up by everyone - myself included.

He hasn't in quite some time, Cody, and I've heard a lot of Tour pros say it, including Fred Couples and other "quiet guys" and "nice guys." Charles Howell III? Check.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you basically dislike Tiger because he's said "goddammit" and "F

"His "child superstar" act has worn through."

I think that sums it all up.

Sergio may still be very young in years, but he's been on the tour plenty long enough to know how to act.

Welcome OnePuttGal. Yeah, good way to put it. His childishness has definitely warn through. Spitting in the cup is uncalled for. Yuck.

I believe it was during the Arnold Palmer event this year in which Tiger uttered 'God damn it' and 'Shit.' Both on the same day.

Sergio is Euro Trash like the lot of them... He is a spoiled brat.

Ok and whos "the lot of them"?? Im from Europe so am I eurotrash?? I think you should not label people because where there from or for anyother reason..

It would be like me calling you a lowlife because your from south NJ Bottomline is he shouldnt have done it, period.. there is no excuse for his actions, not being mad upset or even pissed off.. IMHO he should be fined, and a very large fine at that...

I can't believe this thread is still going on.

Sergio spit in the cup. It was totally uncalled for and he compounded the problem by saying it was no big deal. His bratty superstar imagine is wearing thin... he's got to start winning golf tournaments. He's not the only one to act like an idiot on camera though.

Who said the last time Tiger swore on camera was 2 years ago? Give me a break. While it's more infrequent these days it's still practically an every tournament type of thing.

One last comment on this. I just want to say I find spitting in general pretty disgusting. I think it's pretty irrelevant whether it's in the cup or not; it's a vulgar act, period.

i will retract the "euro" from my trash comment, so our fellow Europeans do not get spill thier tea...

What have you got against us? We have the same right to play golf as you do.

Anyway, back onto the subject, yes he did that, and I am very angry/upset that a golfer who I really like did that, but a lot of people have done bad things on TV, and over time they have been forgotten.

I don't dislike Tiger at all. I just don't always like his behavior, and I cheer for a lot of other golfers over him. I don't dislike the guy though.

And like the guy said above, Tiger did say a couple of those things a few weeks back. He has improved quite a bit though, I'll admit that. I just think the Sergio stuff was taken WAY overboard.

I think if Sergio had offered up a sincere apology, the incident would be long forgotten by now. But he didn't and it hasn't. And I don't think it will be.

    • On the subject of teenagers in professional tournaments there is a kid (Kris Kim) who is a member of my club in England and is at my old school. He’s 16. He’s playing in the pga tour event in Texas this week. Shot 69 yesterday for T31 and is -2 today through 5 holes. T55 and on the cut line. I really hope he makes the cut. Will be awesome.    His dad I believe is a teaching pro and his mum was on the LPGA Tour for a while. 
    • I have two contenders here that stick out to me: In second place, a putt to win the hole playing the 16th hole at Burnham and Berrow. Playing foursomes and the green has a big bank at the front then a flat bit and then it goes up again to a back shelf. My partner had hit our second shot onto the back shelf. We were 2up at the time and he was being a little wobbly so we didn’t want to lose the hole. Our oppo were conceded a 4 and my partner told me to just lag it down there nicely. 20 year old me meant to do that and failed. I hit it a bit hard and it was definitely going to clear the tier and probably run off the front of the green, but it hit the hole right in the middle and went in. My partner was very happy we won the hole but quite upset at my ability to follow instructions.    Number 2 is my most memorable. I was about 16 playing in the junior knockout at my club. We get to the 10th hole - long par 4 and index 2. I didn’t hit a very good drive, hit my second up about 60 yards short and pitched on to maybe 25 feet. I started walking and I got this feeling. I knew I was going to hole it. There was no doubt at all. I’ve never felt like that any other time in my life but this one putt was a certainty. It was February and the greens had been recently hollow tined so they were in awful shape. I didn’t even line it up. I hit my putt and it bumped and bounced all over the place until it went in the middle of the hole. If I could bottle up that feeling and sell it I’d be up there with Bezos and musk. Mind blowing!
    • It's strange how ONE person can be THAT much different/better/whatever than anyone else.
    • I saw a YouTube review on a bunch of ball brands and the Maxfli Tour X did very well in comparison. I bought a sleeve and found them to be excellent in feel and distance. But I’m a lousy golfer so nobody probably cares about my opinion. 😃
