I know they were screaming before guys hit shots but that happens alot. Reed was asking for someones shadow to move away from his ball and I heard someone say "yes master" Reed just grinned and shook his head. Definately alot of rowdy folks there.

Good Ryder Cup prep for him.

I'm not watching, so I legitimately don't know: what are they doing?

Oh, nothing more than gangs of drunken New Yorkers shrieking at the most inopportune moments. Paaaaaaatrick! Riiiiiiiiiiickie! Grillllllllllllo! It's like golf has been taken over by hillbillies. And yes, there are urban hillbillies. They are called New Yorkers! There are also plenty of them in New Jersey!

Props to Reed because the gallery was certainly pulling for Fowler and made their feelings known.  My cousin was there yesterday and said the fans were pretty obnoxious towards Reed trying to get him to crumble so Rickie could catch him.  

Reed stood up to the taunting and pressure well so he's proving to have a game that can back up what comes out of his mouth.

I defer to your superior phoneticism.

It's only because, at one time, I worked with a lady from a California winery who kept referring to her Son, Pawul and her husband Gee-aw-gee-ohh! I couldn't place the accent except that I knew it was eastern. I finally asked if she was originally from Cali, and she told me she grew up in Lawn Guylund! The "G" in that accent definitely leads the second word.

Maybe I'm weird, but I really like accents. I think they make the world, and it's people, more interesting. Imagine how boring the world would be if everyone sounded like a network news anchor!

Patrick already has 5 wins at age 26. The 7-10 seems like a lock to me. I say he hit's 15 plus wins before he is eligible for the senior tour.

He made the short list.......

Only 65 golfers have ever won 15 or more tournaments on the PGA tour.  I would most certainly take the under.......
