'Tiger if possible' they said - result, nothing in sport is like the buzz inside the ropes when he is in contention wearing red at a major on Sunday, it's madness.

I went to the 2000 Open at St Andrews, Tiger was the draw, and he did not disappoint. We managed to get pretty close at times on the back nine on Sunday. The sound off the clubface with his irons was something else, especially the 2 iron he was using a lot off the tee.

*goosebumps* 20 years on

Good interview with Tony Finau - saying his theory about throttling his speed back to keep it in play has been blown away by what Bryson is doing and he’s trying out ripping it too.

I like Tony a lot, maybe there’s competition for the Hulk

There's a good chance he wins this week. After seeing his play in the charity match I went to put a bet on a 55/1 and then decided I shouldn't be faffing about betting! Guaranteed winner now

In all seriousness he's obviously talented but his home scores during the break sound impressive so perhaps he has found another gear.

Didn't manage to watch any of today but seems TW struggled. Has admitted his back was sore this morning, struggled to warm up and found it difficult turning. Not good signs, but think he's going to have a few of those days where he just struggles to get the body going. Can't see him playing before the PGA now tbh unless he feels like he needs to try and get the body going by playing.

Thought similar, and did go in at 50s. So you are safe, guaranteed to fade away now. ?

Bryson meltdown in progress.

BDC having a nightmare on 15

 

[srixon 1]

BDC needs to work his brain muscle next. Playing like a 28 handicap chopper.

 

[BubbaP]

Mini Tin Cup moment...

 

[USER1999]

Oh, 1st ball found now he's disagreeing with the expert... Uh oh

2nd ball, first one was way out. Still needs to accept the ruling though.

 

[srixon 1]

3 putt or worse coming up

 

[fundy]

I know he's fuming right now but he's just totally disrespected both officials there.
More bad PR inbound...

not sure asking for a second ruling and saying please and thank you is "totally disrespecting" but hes public enemy no 1. seen far worse from lefty, tiger etc that no one bats an eyelid at

 

[USER1999]

I don't mind his asking, he is clearly having a melt down, and I am sure no disrespect is meant.

 

[davidy233]

Can I speak to your manager - head’s gone - hope that cameraman from last week is having a laugh to himself

 

[Lord Tyrion]

He flatly told the first RO "I don't believe that" and then stormed off without a word when the next guy was explaining.
That's not how he should act to them.

I must admit that is how I saw it as well. After the second ruling he should have been more gracious to both officials. Maybe he said something after the hole was finished but that was too late for the cameras.

 

[srixon 1]

Bringing up a ruling that Lefty got on a different course in a different competition.

I don't mind his asking, he is clearly having a melt down, and I am sure no disrespect is meant.

I think he was clutching at straws by this time.

This can't be legal surely? Patting down the grass and then dropping in that exact spot. Bryson not doing himself any favours the last few weeks with the whole shouting at the cameraman about damaging his brand thing, the meltdown with the rules official last night, the dubious drop, his caddy running in-front of the camera. Creeping very quickly into Patrick Reed category. Tour of gentlemen and class acts.

 

[fundy]

Yeah I know it's not the most radical shout to pick the halfway leader ?‍?, but this to me looks like it's got Finau written on the trophy ?.
He needs a big one to finally be considered a real winner.

needs to win more full stop, won once in 150ish starts on the PGA tour hasnt he

long long way to go in this and lots got real chances unless one of the leaders goes low today

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Not a good situation from BDC. Given the PGA's talent for sweeping trouble under the carpet I can't see there being too many repurcussions

Boy make stupid decisions, got angry and was mildly rude - don't see where the tour would have any business dishing out 'repercussions'.

The tour has a code of conduct so had any of the officials made a complaint or they decided he had trodden the rough before dropping they could have taken action - but won't
