At the PGA, Tiger needs to finish: -- solo 4th to go over $100 million in official career earnings. -- solo 3rd, with cooperation from Luke and Rory, to become #1 in the world rankings. -- first

It was briefly, but I had to send it to the guys there for the once-over (factual review - not a lot of facts, so even though it's long, it shouldn't TAKE too long). Here are some pictures. The

I watched the entire 18 holes of the Tiger group. -  I like watching these marque groups because there is less talking a you get to see every shot, good, bad and ugly. -  If that damn surve

Rory brings something young and fresh to golf.  I enjoyed watching him look around after he sunk his final putt to soak in the moment.  It was a great weekend for him, whatever problems he had earlier in the season he seems to have fixed.  It's hard not to like this kid.

I have now decided that it is patently unfair for Rory to have secured help in finding his ball in that tree and that it changed the course of this tournament forever.  I am protesting this win.

Unfair I tell ya!

The trees have had it out for him since the Masters last year! The one got his wrist, this one tried to eat his ball, but he showed them.

I was rooting for Tiger and Phil until this afternoon when it was pretty obvious neither was going to catch Rory unless he withdrew.  Rory has supplanted Keegan in my Top 3, I can't take Bradley's pre-shot routine any longer, especially after watching him for 18 holes on Friday as part of the marque group on PGATour.com

Is almost impossible to restrain from throwing things at your computer screen when watching Bradley in a marquee group. He was in one at The Masters and I was close to snapping my screen in half. And that's coming from a Bradley fan.

I was thinking that I'd see the little green car in your avatar crashed into a fire hydrant with the windshield busted out.   Glad you're still with us.

I thought Rory was in love, and not paying enough attention with golf. I would have never thought he would win, but so convincingly.

Winning by 8 strokes is some Tiger territory there.

3WD:  Callaway Big Bertha 15* / X2 Hot H4 Hybrid
Irons:  Callaway Apex 4-PW Project X 5.5 shafts

Wedges: Callaway MackDaddy 2  52/58
Putter: Odyessey Metal X Milled 1

Fantastic performance by Rory. However, after watching for several hours, I have to admit that this was by far the most boring major to watch this year. Give me a close match with a chance of a sudden death playoff any day. The lack of drama was painful - would anyone besides Rory and his family want to watch a replay? It's hard to get excited about watching a bunch of pros play for second place.

I agree.  It was pretty uneventful - especially after Poulter started to fade.  Rory was rock solid though... The dude played an amazing round of golf.

It's true, and the worse he plays the more times he seems to do it per shot.  It's appears to be almost a form of yips or OCD in his ball address.  Whatever it is, it's annoying to watch for 18 holes, so I won't be watching any more marquee groups with him in it.
