starts today. It is the second greatest golf tournament behind the Masters, IMO.

Anyone care to pick a winner?

If Tiger had played once or twice after his knee surgery I'd be inclined to go with him...

I think his knee gets too sore and fatigued....I'm going w/ Phil

John Daly (not to win it or even compete, just to get hammered).

I normally do not go for the Latin type, but there is something about Sergio Garcia that just makes me think...hmmmmm...I think it was that Mich Lite commercial he did when he talks about "clubbin". He's hot.

I don't think I've ever had a Mich Lite in my entire life. I hope that never changes.

Did anyone watch yesterday afternoon and last night? Tiger and Jimenez put on a golf clininc. Jimenez threw up a (66), that is sick....

Very, very good golf.

I tuned in just in time to watch Tiger on the 18th. The announcers were wigging out at his stance as he lined up his put -- "about two and a half feet left," they said.

He strokes it, it goes a clublength or so, then turns sharp right and rolls down the hill into the cup. And I understand that was maybe his third most impressive shot of the day.

Here are Tiger's shots on the 13th, 17th, and 18th.

^^^Those were incredible...we watched it live. I must say...I HATE watching golf on TV, except for looking at the better looking players. But those shots from Tiger were quite amazing. I love the look on his face on that chip on 17...just like a kid who got totally lucky. Good stuff right there.

annarborgator · Post by **annarborgator** » Sun Jun 15, 2008 2:16 pm

I love when even Tiger gets humbled...that kid's smile he showed yesterday that m7 mentioned had a slight tinge of embarrassment in it to me...he knows the game well enough to know he didn't really deserve that bounce but he damn sure appreciated it.

Can't help but like the guy.

18 more holes today. Starts at 12 east. I am not going to get much work done this afternoon.

What does your gut tell you on who is going to win, TT?

TheTodd · Post by **TheTodd** » Mon Jun 16, 2008 9:14 am

I'm gonna have to go with the guy that's done it before. I like Rocco (Attended Florida Southern...Go Lakeland! Go Frank Lloyd Wright!) but I expect Tiger to take it today.

TTBHG · Post by **TTBHG** » Mon Jun 16, 2008 9:33 am

What does your gut tell you on who is going to win, TT?

If Tiger plays #1 well, I think he wins. If he doubles it again, I think Rocco will win.

TheTodd · Post by **TheTodd** » Mon Jun 16, 2008 10:03 am

do they play all 18 or is it sudden death?

texgator · Post by **texgator** » Mon Jun 16, 2008 10:21 am

all 18

I'm glad alot of it was shown prime time. Was able to catch alot of it and saw some amazing displays of golf. I myself was in Pinehurst playing #2 and #4. My game was not so amazing.
