He's from Málaga, Andalusia.

Well, that's what I get for talking out of my ass. :doh: (LOL ... looked it up on a map and not only is Malaga not Barcelona, it's about as far away from Barcelona as you can be and still be in Spain.  He's more Morrocan than Barcelonian)  What a dumbass.

OHW-ST-HOW-ZEN

Pronounced as it should be from it's 'Lowlands' origin.. stayed pretty well the same in Afrikaans.. as you say accent on first syllable, slightly on second .. I haven't heard a commentator anywhere apart from Dutch ones pronounce it correctly.

I don't know why commentators aren't instructed in how to pronounce names properly, after all that's their JOB.

Completely agree.  I've always wondered this.  Just go ask the guy if you're not sure.

So the players were in a smash the glass competition at St. Andrews. Gary Woodland almost took out Spieth. Good thing he wasn't in his downswing ;)

Oosthuizen has actually said his name is supposed to pronounced WEST-hi-zen. He has said he's fine with the way people pronounce it now, though.

A lot of people seemed to take an easy cheap shot at DJ after the U.S. Open 72nd hole, claiming he was a poor putter. If you watched him at all this week and still think he's a poor putter, you're out of your damn mind. Dude can blast it off the tee and putt lights out.

It has nothing to do with what he did in the open.. He is 125th in strokes gained putting.. That's reality..

He's also 2nd on tour in putts per hole. That's reality.

Did I hear something about Adam Scott running late for his tee time this morning?  Just caught a blurb of it this morning but may have mis-heard.

Doesn't that mean he has a pretty good short game allowing him to 1 putt often because he is getting it next to the hole? There has to be a reason for the disparity between being 125th in strokes gained and number of putts.. Isn't that the reason putts per hole stat was basically sidelined by the strokes gained stat because the first isn't as good a measuring stick as the second?

Johnson has the opportunity with the winds down to really destroy the loop today and separate himself some. His putting doesn't have to be spectacular this week....he keeps bombing it down the middle every hole, he could rout the field. You just get the sense DJ is about to explode here.

That stat tells you nothing about how good a putter he is. Strokes gained putting is the best putting statistic.

Terrible stat. A golfer could miss every green in regulation and get up and down for par 18 times and he would have 1.0 putts per hole.

Who cares about stats....the putts are going in this week. And the way he's driving it, he may be keeping Jordan from getting the Slam. He hasn't even hit the loop yet. He'll tear that apart.

      No! Is a large part of the human population selfish, apathetic and cuts corners/breaks rules 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!
