Ummm, isn't DJ leading?

No names supplied so I went to GC to see who was on top of the leaderboard.

Calling DJ a buffet boy and a bad rep?  Huh???

Since you didnt mention a specific person by name, and you said the person leading the HSBC tournament, I assume you are referring to Dustin Johnson? 

I would imagine Johnson's height has to do with the genetics he inherited from his mom and dad, and his physical size probably has to do with the amount of food he consumes as well as his workout routine. 

If you referring to the person in a tie for 3rd, Kiradech Aphibarnrat, my only question for you is who are you to judge a professional athlete's physical appearance? I guarantee he has made more money golfing than you have (Over $1 million) so I'm pretty sure he can eat whatever the hell he wants.

It would help if you used the "guy"s name, and an image to emphasize your point. Otherwise, it's just gibberish.

Looking it up myself, here's what I get. . .

Looks pretty normal to me unless you're a beanpole? Next time include some images and names. :-P

I think you got the wrong tournament... But either way, without referencing a specific name or picture this thread is pointless. (Even with a specific name and/or picture its still pointless)

Yeah, not surprised. I just googled "HSBC leader" and clicked on the first link. . . :-D

Thanks. Kiradech Aphibarnrat is kind of on the chubby side of things. 5'8" 229 pounds? That's not outrageous actually. I'm only 2.5 inches taller and 17 pounds lighter. Relatively speaking we're both a bit "husky". . .

 

Love this pose:

Not everyone watches the PGA for the same reason. While most fans enjoy the competition or the level of golf it offers, others are apparently more interested in how the players look in a tight pair of golf slacks. 

Who are we to judge?

I didn't check the leaderboard. I turned it off when he was leading Thursday. And of course I'm jealous of every pro golfer. We all would trade positions. No, I'm not trolling. I just really want to know. Yes, it is bad for the tour. Heck, half the top 30 in this tournament looked fat.

You ever check the ratings and the popularity of golf lately?

You seem to care more about how golfers look in tight clothing than the actual golf. But, with a name like Stefan, what do you expect...

I am pretty sure @StefanUrkel just called me fat, since I actually outweigh Mr. Aphibarnrat. Perhaps he would like to play a little money game against me, straight up of course, since I am so out of shape. BRING YOUR WALLET, and perhaps the deed to your car (just in case).

I think 6 or 7 years back there was a hefty guy that won the NJ state Am. Homeboy looked like he was 7 months pregnant or something. Nothing with genes though, that dude just drank beer and ate like it was his job..
