The Open 2018

Imagine how far in front Speith would be if he hit a couple more fairways rather than having to make shots from the rough. Played very well though but still could have made it easier.

 

[Pin-seeker]

Surely he could ignore it all and either sit on a hole and watch all the players coming through or follow whoever he likes??

But then he wouldn’t be able to whinge about it.

Just been contacted by a friend who’s at The Open, he says you should hear the fiasco that is going on here for Tiger!

As he says, it’s an insult to all the other players, we didn't do this for Jack when Tiger was in his prime, so why the obsession with Tiger?

It’s no wonder people get sick of him, he’s rammed down your throat when others are having just as good a round, or particular hole, but we’re subjected to non-stop Tiger frenzy.

It’s an obsessive media & fan disorder which tablets need to be taken, in large quantities preferably 

What fiasco?

As to lack of respect for the other players. They’re all eating at the top table because of him.

Lots of his fellow pros seem happy to see him back playing well.

Ooh yes, I'm loving it.

Birdie on 16 too. Amazing.

Haha yes. Imagine being fortunate to see one of the best golfers in golf history playing extremely well.

What fiasco?.

Are you there, I assume not, if you are I’ll accept a different slant on it, so, if he says it’s a fiasco with all the Tiger hype & giddiness everywhere, I’ll take that as fact.

Is that ok with you.

Calm down. I was simply curious if he’d elaborated.

re the giddiness, it’s tiger woods. Of course there is special interest in him. Just like when the past greats tee first at Augusta the sport panders to the greats. It’s what sells.

It’s laughable isn’t it.
Greatest golfer of his generation gets back to competing in a major & people seem surprised that people are talking about it.
Even tho they are also talking about it 😂😂

Precisely!

The same sort of criticism was made in 1986 when Nicklaus won The Masters having not really been a factor in the Majors for a few years.

If the greatest of his generation comes back as Tiger has today much of the focus will inevitably be on him.

It’s like they’re shocked by it.
It’s not going to change so either get use to it or stop watching.

Great round for Tiger.....

Just been speaking to a mate who stays in Carnoustie and he says the town is buzzing after Tigers round Today, he even said the fish are jumping in the Barrie burn.

Great to see the Big Cat in contention and getting people excited in the game, golf needs Tiger we need Tiger come on Tiger

Shows how really un-informed you really are. Arnie's army were even worse. They used to ridicule Jack's weight. And used to shout racist remarks towards Player. God knows how the ethnic players of the day were treated. But don't let facts get in the way of trying to bash Tiger again 👍🐅

Yes you are spot on but does it no amaze you that some people only see or hear what they want to hear.

That Leaderboard is a bit juicy isn’t it

Spieth , McIlroy , Woods all very close - could be a cracking game tomorrow

So will one of them create a great story or is it going to be a new guy - that Xander Snufflufflugus looks a very tidy player

 

[Deleted member 16999]

Matt Kuchar must be one of the nicest, most harmless people in the world.

I was thinking the same thing during his interview.
No wonder he’s so popular with the fans.

If Rory can't find a putting stroke and get his short game sorted then you can count him out, Spieth is looking good so I think it will be a good day tomorrow.

Playing a Medal at Gleneagles on The PGA tomorrow teeing off at 8am then heading up to Carnoustie to catch the afternoon play.
