Agreed and broadcasters seem not to want to offend Phil.

They've been giving him a sound shellacking. No-one is supporting his actions. What are you talking about? There's a difference between saying something happened that didn't happen and "not offending" someone. Do you think they should be lying about what should happen to him? Or say he did something he didn't do?

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

529 yard par-4 and he hits an iron off the tee.  

Rose with very few putts today.  So that's how you use very few putts:  miss a lot of greens.  That's what I do in Tiger Woods 2012 on Xbox when I need to have the round with 22 or fewer putts to get some reward.

I believe the question being asked is whether the correct penalty was applied.  The arguments aren't "I don't think 2 strokes is sufficient, DQ him," but rather "I think this other rule also describes his situation and better applies here, and that one says to DQ him." 

I was trying to figure out why a company like Workday was advertising on golf -- I already see the logo on a good number of Tour players' shirts.  And I'm thinking, it isn't like I have a choice if we use it at work or not.  Then I realized a moment ago that I'm not the target audience for the ad, and a good number of C-level executives probably are watching this broadcast.  Influencing a few of them a year is probably worth the expenditure and then some.

Dustin Johnson's putting today, it's weird how often I'm saying this 6'4 fellow is short.

OK....DQ him....that will look super on the USGA....I am sure Phil sleeps just fine tonight either way

Wow, talking about the chance Berger gets into the final group for tomorrow.

Dear TV crew,

You just talked about Tiger holding off Rocco and sinking a birdie at his final hole in regulation to get into the playoff.

You then showed two shots from the third round of that year.

C'mon man!

Not just in final group. More like tied for lead. Not the fairest of things but that’s the way golf goes. But there’s no way Berger or Finau shoot 66 in these conditions.

Ian's closing six involved bogeying all four that Jordan birdied yesterday!   If only Jordan had birdied more.

It would be funny if somebody at +8 shoots a four under early and wins it. +8 was the cut line, that Jordan gacked, and is now tied for 17th. That's pretty much what Berger and Finau did. I don't know, unprecedented?

If only Jordan had parred the last two holes yesterday. He’d have made the cut and would have been one of the first off the tee today. Could have easily gotten himself back in it.

Are you serious?  He's like 25 years old, two PGA Tour wins (one of which he was a defending champion), plus two playoff losses... and you say he sucks?

18 feet from the hole is usually good enough.

It didn’t stop there. Again we’re Sergio’s water balls good shots? They hit about 18 feet away too.

The ball didn't HIT 18 feet away. The ball didn't stop, 18 feet away. It rocked and slowly turned, and rolled faster into the bunker. A bunch have done this. They don't stop rolling, until they are off the green. Saw someone miss a putt and it finished off the green down the hill.

So who says it was a good shot? If it finishes in a bunker, it’s not a good shot.
