Dang. That tee shoy by R.Mc on 9 landed about two feet from the hole on the fly.

Sergio dropping eagle bombs on em

Then begging for the second shot on the next hole. Going to be tuff to catch Rory

How many putters/grips/stances has Sergio been through over the last decade. I'd bet 10 different putters and grips.

LMAO Sergio off the grandstand onto the edge of the green. What a lucky bounce.

Furyk seems like mr. steady.

Sounds like some shot I'd pull out of my ass at Hodge Park. Minus the grandstand.

Now things are getting interesting.

I think he was using that gator grip on the eagle he made LMAO

I didn't realize it was him until they showed his name

Rory missed two putts short. Ouch

I find myself pulling for Sergio. Something about Rory that rubs me a little in the wrong way. Maybe it's just the press sucking him off.

"That's just a perfect shot by Rory", every hole whether its good or not

I feel that way about Sergio. He's always been such a Europussy. Spitting in the cup, crying about losing the British Open to Padraig Harrington. He's forevere been something of a Spanish bitch.

"In 13 years I've come to the conclusion that I need to play for second or third place."

Sergio said that two years ago after the Masters.

This

Rory seems like a good dude, but the press have worn me out on him.

And there's the classic Sergio choke.

That's the Sergio we all know and admire.

Yeah I was never a real Sergio fan but Fowlers to far back.

Nice shot Sergio!

And Sergio craps out in the bunker. Killer.

Awwww ****

I was thinking it might have been his time. He had a couple putts not go in that were very close and then shit in the bunker

If Sergio follows his historical form, he'll lay down from this point forward and blame the golf gods for his failure.

Im surprised he didn't lip out the bogey putt LMAO

McIlroy has a certain prickish quality in the way that he carries himself that is certainly off-putting.

One of the things that bothers me about him is his mental game. He's immensely talented, but he can't win a tournament unless he is playing on his A game. He doesn't have any grind in him. He either assaults a course and blows away the field or withers.

He's not the kind of player who can go head to head with someone if he's playing at a B level.

Fortunately for him, his A level is very high and he's been able to bring it out at the right times in his career.

244 yard 6 iron

**** you Sergio ... Dick

And that's what golf comes down to a lot of times--luck.

Look at Martin Kaymer. Played absolutely out of his skull at the US Open and then weeks later tosses up a 79 on the easiest Open course in memory.

FWIW, this is a shit venue. The R&A should replace Hoylake with Kingsbarns, which might be the most beautiful course in Scotland.

Bye Bye random person

Kind of a d**k move to actually go and point the guy out, am I right?

Hard to call it luck when he's done it 3 times now by the age of 25. He has a proficiency for playing well in big tournaments.

Ba ba boooey got ejected

Was that Ernie Els being ejected?

I couldn't detect anything before he made contact.

Furyk is the king of top 5s.

It's not like the guy in the crowd said

Rory just think of all the money your dad will win if you can keep from overturning your wrists on the back 9 of the most important tournament of your life

Lol

Adam Scott will drop from that number 1 spot next year when they ban that cheating ass putter he uses. No more anchoring

Garcia ack

How are you short on that putt Sergio?

Very curious what was said. Probably a reference to his now defunct engagement. Whatever it was, he heard it.

I do believe Sergio felt a slight flutter in vulva as he tapped that short putt... Short.

if that went in its game

It's already game

Rory's pops is counting money from that bet

Drawing that 2i? Nice dream for me.

He hit like 3 solid 2 irons

I would be lucky to hit 1 out of the 3 and they sure as hell don't go that far ROFL

"....for a young man in his twenties......who I happened to bump into in the showers once at sawgrass.....and let me tell you....WOW!"


Man - the slurpfest is thick today!

Up against the wall?

ruh roh!

Van de velde

Shit he almost made that

The funny thing is Wozniacki won a tournament today too. Seems the two were holding each other back.

Rory knob fest by 4 letter network

Way to hang in there Rory. I had trouble deciding who to root for out of that threesome. In the end, I'm glad to see Rory go wire to wire.

He has a proficiency for playing well in a certain type of major. It's not a coincidence that all his majors have come in conditions with abnormally soft greens and very little to no wind.

He's an undoubtedly great player, but he doesn't have the kind of game that will translate on all types of courses.

If you want a comparison for McIlroy here it is: at this point in his career, he's a young Nadal, a guy that is nearly unbeatable when playing at top level on a certain type of track. He hasn't yet matured into what Nadal became in subsequent years.

I was really pulling for Sergio as well. He seems like he'd be a good dude to play a round with and then shoot some bull with afterward. Plus, he's been through a lot in his career.

Agree that Rory seems a little uppity but I don't hold that against him. I admire great golf and his game is flawless, absolutely flawless. My son asked me if I think he'll ever win the masters and complete the grand slam and I said yes, I think it's more a matter of when than if. He's that good and he's only 25. Heck, I've got shoes older than that.

Congrats to Rory.

The last thing I did today at the golf course was hit 15-20 2 irons in a row. I hit them off a low tee and for the most part I hit them pretty well. The last one I hit I decided I'd hit a fade. I'm pretty much a right to left player these days but I hit it perfect. It was like a walk off homerun.
Good physical practice hitting 2 irons.

Pretty good comparison. Nadal took a while to get good on hard/grass courts, but still was completely dominant on his one surface (and amazingly continues to be a decade later). Like Nadal, I think McIlroy has the talent to go down as one of his sport's all-time greats, but he still has to develop in a few areas before he gets there.

Today was also the first time he's really had to deal with any final round back nine pressure to win a major, so that's something that will help in the future.

I played the next leg of my tour past Sunday and I played like a wuss. I played Redfield GC in Eugene, MO. I'd never played it before and it was a windy day so the going was tough for me. I shot a big fat 84. I didn't hit enough greens and I putted poorly. I had a lateral hazard and an OB. All tat is the result of a lack of confidence that I woke up with one day here while back. I played decent and won a match and another tournament and then I went to sleep. When I woke up I was so full of self doubt and suddenly I suck.

Fickle ****ing game:)

Played Thames river valley GC in London Ontario last week, it was built in 1924. Shot an 85 not bad for first time playing that course.

Shot an 83 Sunday at Cassville... Swing is coming back together. FINALLY!

First of two posts. This one is a gossip post:

Dustin Johnson is taking an indefinite leave of absence from the tour. Supposedly the guy has a pretty bad cocaine habit (which may have been the real reason he took time off for a back injury a few years back), and Gretzky's daughter isn't considered the greatest of influences upon him.

Furthermore, something I didn't know is that he was involved in stealing a handgun and buying ammunition for it at Wal-Mart as a teen. Said gun was used in an execution style murder a few days later. Johnson's prints were on the gun, but in exchange for his testimony, all charges against him were dropped and the accused (friend's brother) was convicted and is serving life.

Also, apparently he was slinging blow in high school.

Yikes.

I doubt living in LA with millions of dollars, plenty of downtime, and hitched to Paulina Partygirl is the best influence on a recovering druggie

For a golfer, that is Suge Knight level gangsta.

DJ has never been the Golden Child. His rep preceded him.

As for this latest turn, I doubt there are any surprises. John Daly is about to roll over the senior tour, and there will be a bad boy vacuum. DJ fills the bill. Too bad, though... I kind of like him.

Second of two: in the midst of a two year process to find out what in the **** has been wrong with my swing I've finally figured it out:

I **** goats.

Namely, early extension. The sensation of keeping the angle between the spine and hips and not clearing up and out is so foreign to me that I'm feeling muscles in my back I haven't felt in years. It's going to take a while to strengthen them back up. Biggest issue at this point is making sure that I turn my hips enough in the backswing so that they don't stall and force me to early extend when I get stuck. That, and fatigue.

It's certainly untapped a lot of hidden power that I'd previously lost.

She don't lie, she don't lie, she don't lie

He allegedly has had an affair with the wives of two of his fellow tour players - breaking up the marriage of one of them.

Tomorrow we're going to learn that he likes to toss midgets Wolf of Wall Street-style.

Will McKenzie's marriage was the one he broke up, and Jimmy Walker's wife was the other one he balled.

Curious of the timing on Walker. He's had a helluva year.

And if you want something really ****ing crazy...

According to Barstool Sports and their rumor mill, Rory called off his engagement because he was banging another chick on a glass table and it shattered, cutting her up pretty badly and giving him a bunch of scratches. Supposedly, that's why he wore long sleeves during the BMW the next week. I guess he realized he couldn't be banging whores on the side without consequences.

Nice.

In fairness, he seems to play better when he's banging whores and not locked down.

Look what happened to Tiger when he quit banging whores ROFL

No sport has gotten a bigger pass on the impropriety of their players more than golf. The history of the tour is essentially a history of barnstorming, alcoholic womanizers.

For example:

http://simg.sportsbybrooks.com/c/1/c...infidelity.jpg

Please. These women are major jock sniffers. You can go out on the Web.com tournaments and see young chicks in sundresses following the players around. They view them as future meal tickets. And any "marriage" you break up wasn't a real marriage anyway if the woman is looking to drop her clothes off and spread her legs for another man. Those aren't wives, they're called whores.

I actually a agree with a lot of what you're saying.

If these guys were in cubicle farms, I doubt the following women would use them as a meat shield, let alone let them plow with impunity.

Amanda Dufner. Good lord.

And to her credit IIRC, her and Jason have been together since college.

Oh, and to her credit:

I was just at the Web last weekend. There were some girls - not a ton but they were there - following the guys in short skirts and smiling a lot. Either they were their girlfriends traveling with them to sunny Leawood KS (lol) or they were sniffers.

I dunno, Donald is a handsome guy with a Northwestern education and millions in the bank. If he can't pull nobody can. Amy Mickelson & Amanda Duf are legit wives who married their guys early. But skeezers like Mrs Mahan and Elin Nordegren were nothing but sniffers and gold diggers.

This is a timely discussion as one guy in our golfing foursome is dealing with his wife's affair. With a guy at their church to top it off. Like the DJ and Arnie stories, the guy is talking about the other man constantly and what a prick he was. No matter how often we tie it back to his own wife's behavior, it goes right back to the "other man".


Men can't deal with their wives cheating and it's easier to blame it on a devious poon-hound. Because no man wants to admit there's something his own wife found lacking in himself.


This guy even went so far as to say he wants to keep his marriage alive because he doesn't want his daughters to think badly of their mother. Worried about the mother's reputation at a time like this is the last thing I'd be thinking. Insanity.

I know everyone hates Jim Rome, but he says it best with "You don't know these guys."

I'm still kinda floored that Peyton Manning is semi-notorious for banging chicks in every NFL city and his wife tacitly approving of said shenanigans.

It's so hard to separate truth from fiction. I've heard all kinds of crazy shit about athletes, including that Manning and his wife swing.
