The Golf Thread

it's funny how all the sanctimonious bastards that abound in the game of golf now think they can dictate how tiger needs to play and comport himself.....golfchannel put together bits and pieces in a tournament defining skit from the masters implying that mickelson is the nice, wife-loving golf genius there is while woods is a scowling, cursing, villianous prick.

Hopefully most people watching golf know this isn't true. The nice bit anyway, he seems to love his wife.

spectacular implosion from the tiger...i seriously doubt if he is anywhere near as focused as he needs to be...

i doubt it, he is considered very nice in the u.s because he smiles a lot and signs a lot of autographs....anyway that's not the point, they can praise mickelson without vilifying tiger and they didn't...just looked like kicking a man when he is down to me...

Rory McIlroy, is quietly just a bit awesome

isn't he just? thought i'd find you here..., -15 on the weekend...so far!

 

[grecian]

Truly is a phenom, it's not as if he's against nobodies here, he's mullered Cabrera and Mickelson.

 

[Anil]

yep he is going to take it and take it easily, mickelson doesn't have a chance now...if he gets 30 yrs of a reasonably injury-free career, the guy is going to threaten quite a few records...

and an incredible birdie on the 18th to top off a 10 under round!

Yeah, talk about doing it in the grand stylee.

 

[Anil]

this is easily the most significant win of this year's pga tour thus far...

Yeah the guy can play. Saw him at the Australian Masters a couple of years back. It's funny that it was only a few weeks ago at the Masters he was looking a bit down about the way he played and now he comes out and does this.

 

[Anil]

so...picks for the players?

 

[grecian]

It's incredibly wide open, Woods is 8-1

After last week, I can kind of understand, particularly as he doesn't love this tournament, nor does lefty either. Just the one win for both.

I also don't think Rory will contend, big hype after last week, and he still is very young.

Would have backed heavily on Kim, but my picks are Camillo and Nick Watney, who I think will have the game for this course. Can't rule out Furyk or Els though, resurgent this year, and I can see them putting up a good performance. Deffo good chance for an out-sider though. with the general feeling of flux.

English blokes will under-perform in their charming way.

not even remotely surprising...although both fared decently today...

yeah not a very good start for him...

els needs an exceptional 2nd round to get into the mix, good start by furyk though...

well westwood just refused to be charming...

 

[Anil]

can westwood close the deal this time?

 

[grecian]

probably not...

 

[Anil]

probably not...

...way to go on the optimism...anyways tiger has a neck injury
