If he could do this more than once every three years or so, he wouldn't have to take a TV job.

Hard to compete at even an average level on tour when you can't even get into an event without a special exemption. He only plays about 4-5 times per year because its all the events he can get into. Either way, good for him. Always has been a favorite of mine and it was nice to see some of his play this week get a little tv time and be recognized.

Callaway XR 9.5 + 1, Taylormade R15 3 Wood, Burner 3 Rescue, Callaway XHot 5H, Warbird 4H, Nike Vapor Fly 6-AW Irons, Titleist Vokey 54, 60 Wedges, Taylormade Rossa Fontana Putter, Srixon Z-Star Tour Yellow.

Best Score 2017:  82 (Traditions at the Glen, Par 70)

Favorite Course - Conklin Players Club (Par 72) - Best Score 86

I believe he's still sitting on an all-time money list exemption he can use for an entire season.

Oosthuizen is like Angel Cabrera. Doesn't take the regular tourneys very seriously, but come Major time, he's there.

ESPN needs to be showing more of the guys well ahead of the leaders on the course. If these conditions hold, they may be relevant.

Dunne chunks his approach at 1 in front of the burn. Not a good sign of things to come.

Sergio's off.

I think he's a good dark horse pick today. It seems he's let go of the baggage that's kept him from winning one of these things; this feels like it could be the day.

Looks like he shook off the "off."

-2 after 3 for T6, one back of the lead.

Edit: I misunderstood your meaning of "Off." My apologies.

Matsuyama's at 11-under past the turn, and we've just seen him in pictures for the first time. ESPN needs to stay on him.

Gotta be hard to when you have such a logjam at the top. You still have to show the co-leaders and the guys who the on course reporters are with. I think they're doing the best they can.

"Off," as in he's teed off. Sergio's locked in. [quote name="ChrisP" url="/t/83040/2015-british-open-at-st-andrews-discussion-thread/900#post_1172096"]Oosthuizen is like Angel Cabrera.

Man this is tough to watch

How is the practice green in bounds? That's a fantastic break for Dunne if he can play from there. Lord knows, he needs it.

      Phil Mickelson Booted out of Farms Golf Club

      By Shindig · Posted

      While it does turn out that both Tiger and Phil are less squeaky clean than I previously believed, I don't think golf quite has the worst in professional sports.  Or maybe they're better at image management.   Obviously I'm not fond of Phil's issue we're discussing in this thread (or his involvement with LIV) or Tiger's choices of how to drive.  I used to really like Dustin Johnson and, even before the LIV situation, we started to hear rumors that he bought more snow than Seward, although I don't think those stories were ever substantiated.  Meanwhile, I did think of Anthony Kim as the "good, bad boy" of the tour for a while fifteen years ago because of his party persona -- and if it turns out the worst he did was show up hung over to play (barring what one thinks of LIV), that's pretty good.  And I'm still happy he found a way to get his life clean. If we contrast that with some other sports I enjoy, I'm sure we could find a nice long list of NFL players that, at one point in my life, I was quite fond of, we get far worse disappointments (to put it mildly).

      Answering that properly would land me in hot water, so I'm not going to. I don't think that many people would do that. I think that in certain circumstances many people would be willing to overlook someone doing that. But I was really referring to what I assumed was Tiger's transgressions (cheating on his wife) not Phil's.

      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??
