Triple bogey.

Adam is continuing to play great today, controlled and aggressive at the same time!  But tired of hearing how "Tiger just isn't the same as he was a few years ago" or similar comments every poor shot he makes.....we know!!! Say something new, we've been hearing the same thing for nearly 2 years now.....how about some "constructive criticism" for Gmac since he is +4 for the day in the final group and Tiger is "only" +3 on the day.  (I am a Tiger fan but also having nothing against Gmac either , just an observation!)

The TV wonks were discussing that he should take an unplayable.

I was amazed at Azinger's lack of knowledge of the rules of golf as he was stating that Tiger should take an unplayable lie and drop outside the bunker. This is a former tour player who makes a living announcing professional golf. You would think that he would have at least a basic grasp of the rules of the game.

By our count they were 0 for 3 on their quick interpretations of the Rules today. Sad.

Two peeves with announcers (both Strange this week, I think): - "I remember when I (fill in the blank)...." I just don't like it and I don't care, especially when it comes from Curtis. At least when Faldo makes comments like that, he has the past record to back it up. I'll concede that Strange was a decent player, but he sometimes talks like he was much better than he ever was. - Re: Scott/McDowell being on the clock: "Doesn't really matter...it's not like their holding anyone up." His implication, seemed to me, was that putting them on the clock was silly. Yes, it does matter. There's no reason the last group should have a time advantage and be able to take however long they want to play shots. Just my pair of pennies......

Man, I like Ernie, but....wow. Major choke job. Not saying I haven't choked before, but...wow. [quote name="poser" url="/t/60403/2012-british-open-discussion-thread/270#post_746387"]I think stevie may have to let adam go after that showing. [/quote] Yep, all that talk about the 'advanage' Adam would have with Williams 'in his ear'. Maybe he would have finished with 4 doubles instead of bogies? Don't think so.

Woods lost twice today. His 3.0 swing and 1.0 swing.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

    • Here's the bet. Assuming the pursuit of a Tour card holds, who wins their first Tour event? Charlie, or this Russell kid? Bet is off if Miles Russell signs with LIV. 
    • It seems like too much work for me. I'm actually surprised at myself for spending as much time on this as I already have. Shot Scope tells me my shots to finish with a 7i is 0.1 better than with my 50 or 55 so I'm just going to go with it. Actually, I tend to be the complete opposite. I've never faced a shot I'm convinced I can't hit. It leads to great heroics and complete flops. Conservative for me might just be someone else's normal.
    • Tell me you've not seen Bill play without telling me you've not seen Bill play? 😄 Just teasing @billchao. 😄 
    • And like Matt said, and I have hinted at… it's ONE ROUND. Because you have to get hot. Better players than him failed to get through. And… Peaked too soon, perhaps. He could also get injured, get surpassed, lose interest or lose his game… Again, if I trusted y'all to uphold the bet, and if the bet wasn't basically a 15-year proposition… I'd bet y'all. The odds are against him, and heavily so. So… he didn't qualify, and he's playing on a sponsor's exemption. Jordan Spieth was 16 years old when he tied for 16th in a PGA Tour event… and I realize that mentioning Jordan Spieth (who has obviously had a lot of success) seems to argue against my point, but Spieth is the exception and he did better at only a year older than this fella. The odds are strongly against him.
    • He shot -5 with a bogey on the last hole. Those Monday Q events are seriously tough to get through. Lots of very very good players play in those, including normally a fair few tour players who've lost their cards, including past winners. It is a small sample size, but he also just broke one of Tiger's records (youngest ever to be ranked one in AJGA if memory serves). He's the best 15 year old in the world at the moment. He's also pretty small and skinny - if he grows and fills out a bit and gets stronger, he could be a serious force to be reckoned with. He may of course also go off the boil and struggle or his swing may not last his growth or something, so it's not like he's odds on to make it or anything like that. I think it will be interesting to see how he progresses and if (big if granted) he progresses well, then he will be quite the prospect.
