Yeah. A dorky guy with 3 Masters & 3 British Open wins.

haha, he has come a long way.  i remember when he presented the green jacket to woosnam back in '91 - he was bending down and mocking how short he was.  i was 10 years old, and i still remember thinking how much of a clown he was for doing that.

i respect/enjoy his commentating now.

[Shorty]

Cantlay had a very strong finish today.

[zipazoid]

He wasn't on too many player's Christmas card lists when he played the tours. Lots of guys thought he was a major jerk. Apparently he has mellowed a lot since going to the booth.

I don't recall what tournament it was, but at a press conference he derided the media by thanking them from the "heart of my bottom".

Found this line in a Google search just now -

"Playing with Nick Faldo is like playing by yourself — only slower," Mark Calcavecchia once said about Faldo.

Cantlay had a very strong finish today.

He beat my personal best by one!

Bo is not going anywhere fast. With Tiger missing tee shots left and right, nothing is over here.

[Beachcomber]

Bo Van Pelt is impressing me.  Hope he makes the Ryder Cup team (not sure where he is at on that list??).

[Infamous 273]

i noticed bo chewing gum earlier.  he's usually good for packing a 4 hour dip with his lip protruding about an inch.

[newtogolf]

Great battle between Tiger and Van Pelt.  15 had to deflate Van Pelt a bit, he had to think he'd go 1 up on Tiger given the length of Tigers putt compared to his.

[Infamous 273]

6 iron there?  i know it's hot out, but c'mon.

[zipazoid]

Unforced error by Tiger on 16. That has bogey written all over it.

[Beachcomber]

Wow... I can't believe Tiger went that hard at the pin.  Especially when Bo had that awful lie.

[Zeph]

And Bo replied by not even getting out of the rought with his pitch.

[zipazoid]

And Bo just returned the favor by fanning his pitch.

[Beachcomber]

Tiger better get his flop shot ready.
