Thanks Captain Obvious  I was hoping on a golf forum there'd be a little more than that, but I'm sure I can live without knowing why.

I would be interested to know as well.  I used to have him pinned as a player to watch but now he is less than an afterthought.

You should be proud regardless. You just used all three forms of the word "to" in a single sentence, and all properly.

Listen, fall back, take several seats because I can take you to school on this issue, so don't push your luck. Taking what I said as an insult to "your" country shows a certain level of ignorance on i

Tiger in danger of missing the cut. To me, TIger just looks like a guy who needs more tournament reps right now. Upset that he's not playing again until the Memorial. That's another month away. I'd like to see him enter the Byron Nelson just to get some work in. He really needs it before Chambers Bay. I mean, does anyone really think he's going to be a legitimate threat at the Open right now? The way Rory's been playing, he's a far cry from that caliber of golf.

A lot of guys are getting beat up by the Players, but yeah, I don't get how TW thinks he can be competitive playing so little, golf does not afford the casual, he needs to get out there and play, a lot.

Can't watch this at work.   The 9th hole cannot be reached in two by anyone for today's setup?    Trailing the cut line by 1, I was surprised that Tiger didn't try to get there in two.   Yardage says 580 and I assume it is a stretch for most golfers to get to the green in two.

I'm not sure about the rest of the field, but Tiger was away after the drive, and he used an iron to lay up to 102yds. They caught him on mic planning that yardage and the angle he wanted into the green. There was a tree that prevented him from reaching anyway, I believe, as he was leftish on the fairway so it might not just be the distance, but the way the tree prevents them from going at the green.

Kaymer and Scott also left themselves <100yds. Scott was last to play and hit a nice draw around the tree from what they said to leave just a partial wedge.

Tiger hit his approach pin high, and was last to putt in the group- the only of the three to birdie the hole.

Did he tee off with a driver?

Doubt it. He hit 269yds, leaving 320 to the hole.

Here's an overhead shot of the hole. I don't see the tree as being as important as the commentators said, but the pin is on the far left, I believe.

If this leaderboard doesn't start looking better soon, then NBC is going to be on suicide watch this weekend. I feel like this is last week all over again....Rory needs to save the day.

Are you saying that the likes of:

Na, Grace, Hearn, Merritt and Stroud don't move the needle for you??

      Phil Mickelson Booted out of Farms Golf Club

      No! Is a large part of the human population selfish, apathetic and cuts corners in the name of self-preservation 'more than they would like to admit', yes. Degenerate, scum, etc?.. no!! Most humans/men would not grope a woman like Phil is accused of doing (I think he absolutely did). That is scum. I mean what % of men do you think would do that? Seriously??

      I don't think that is true at all. That is off-topic here, I think.

      I entirely agree with everything you said, but would just note that normal human beings are a lot closer to degenerate and avaricious scum than many of us might be comfortable admitting/might realize.

      That is a bit hyperbolic, I think. Most despicable is a bit much.  Again, a bit over the top here.  Most athletes are probably closer to being normal human beings than degenerates and avaricious scum.  Just sounds like you want to generalize all athletes because it is easy to do so. Hey, generalizing a subset of a population is entirely a human thing to do.

      This is so awesome; my two biggest lifetime hero and the biggest superstars of the past 35 years in golf……both turned out to be the two of the most despicable human beings in professional sports… Between this and everyone whoring themselves out for Saudi Arabia… Used to love golf because I thought they were smarter, better people than the other sports. Turns out a huge percentage of them are total degenerates and avaricious scum like every other sport!
