Kevin Na just hit a beautiful 3/4 6 iron to 1' on 16 - 171 yds...disturbing how good these guys are.

Lefty being carted off the course w/ an "oblique muscle injury"......you folks who only watch the PGA tour when Lefty or TW are entered better 1) find some other golfers to root for or 2) find something else to do on your weekends other than watch PGA golf on the HDTV.    TW and Lefty aren't getting any younger and are breaking down, unfortunately.

Do you ever get tired of being such a one trick pony? Seriously dude, work on some new material.

Was Bowditch allowed to move that rock to improve his stance when he was in the rough?  I thought that was against the rules of golf.

Loose impediment (Boulder) - wasn't in a hazard.

It's a loose impediment. On another note, I don't like those Valero commercial with the car going out of control, the accelerator depressing by itself, reminds me of those accidents that were happening where the driver couldn't stop the cat from accelerating.

The rock was not "solidly imbedded" in the ground, so despite its size, it qualifies as a loose impediment and can be moved. Similar to the situation Tiger had in Phoenix back in '99. That boulder "loose impediment" was so large that he needed help from several spectators to move it.

I couldn't watch that all day either! Heaven help us if he and NA ever get paired together.

Threesome: Na, Loupe, Furyk. That would be a nightmare.

This Loupe guy bothers me to no end. Na doesnt even come close.

I would, but then I wouldn't be able to participate in the Rick Martin drinking game. Every time Rick Martin whines about TW you drink a beer.

I don't think the guy ought to be banned - he needs to stop the personal attacks.

[Phil McGleno]

ON YOU (dude).[quote name="Rick Martin" url="/t/73489/2014-valero-texas-open-discussion-thread/36#post_969159"] I don't think the guy ought to be banned - he needs to stop the personal attacks. [/quote] One trick pony is about right.-But plz tell us again how we arent true golf fans because we only tune in when history is being made and spend the rest of the time with our wives or families or friends when Pat Perez is playing well in some podunk TX tourney-OKAY?

[Rick Martin]

This Loupe guy bothers me to no end. Na doesnt even come close.

NBC needs to just not go to him until he's done with his fifth practice swing - there are other guys on the course. He could be fast in other parts of the game, just not in his preshot routine.
