BTW, when I saw Phil post the 67, my first thought was awww for crissakes. In every major last year Phil was my pick to win in the TST contests. It started with the Masters, which he came damn close to winning until he tripled the 4th hole on Sunday. So I decided to keep riding that horse for the US Open, Open Championship & PGA. Didn't even come close to winning them.

So this year, I missed the Masters contest, but I submitted my pick for the US Open (Kuchar). I even thought for a sec, 'Gonna pick Phil again?' and I decide nah. Done with him.

And he shoots a 67 today. Arrgh.

Again? Ahhhh geeeez. I thought the sucky weather was over, apparently not.

The story about Phil, his daughter's graduation, and his redeye flight is starting to get repetitive and irritating. Just show live golf ESPN!

[RonTheSavage]

Pretty cool moment while Joe Lacava was raking the bunker, Steve Williams offered to clean the wet sand off of Tigers golf ball. Good to see those two being prefessionals.

Yeah, his redeye flight on the Callaway private charter jet where he probably at crab cakes and lobster and slept in a leather lay-z-boy. They act like he flew coach from Tokyo to Merion or something and hopped off the plane, high fived his caddie and got to the first tee....

Golf on ESPN is horrible!!! They don't know anything about golf. How they got the US Open is beyond me.

Also Mike Terico is SO DANG BORING! Good lord we need Johnny Miller to join ESPN.

[RonTheSavage]

Birdie for Tiger, back to even par

Wow! Adam Scott with a 246 yard iron shot in humidity to come that close was amazin.

[BostonBrew]

Switched to watching the US Open online stream and muted the ESPN broadcast. Still want to keep an eye on my pick Luke Donald.

[rowlf]

Adam Scott has got the swagger.

Go Adam!

[RonTheSavage]

That was a beautiful shot. Even better since he made the put for birdie.

Tiger isn't feeling the flow.

You said your natural disasters announce themselves. I said not always. (Actually you said "disaster" and put hurricane in parentheses as if you only have the one… which is also wrong. :D)

Anyway… I think Tiger needs a round of 70 or so to stay in it. And it looks like he'll have to turn it around a bit to do that. Good drive on 4 though.

It was a great shot! Since you mentioned it, it's worth reminding people that humid air is less dense than dry air though, so the ball will tend to carry further. Somewhat contrary to what most might think....

[Motley01]

Have you seen the guys on that short par 3, someones gonna dunk it there. They are tearing up that hole.

[BostonBrew]

Tiger and his expletives, and then the commentators trying to apologize for it made me laugh.

"Goddammit" We apologize for that... "****"  Sometimes those mics pick up a little too much "Son of a ..."

Hahahaha
