Say What Again Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Tiger, first round at Augusta that he's never had a birdie I'm not being pedantic Andy, but I'm sure it came up on the screen last night that it was his 2nd round without a birdie at Augusta - the other being the first round in 2004.

I P Knightley Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 I didn't think it would be as bad as this. If Player and Co have any decent mates, they should be having a serious word. The trouble with Player is that he has no humility. It's wrong, I know, but I'm glad to see him bomb out. Watching last night on the telly reminded me why I only ever watch on the final day - the coverage is appalling. It's driven by the yanks with (a) their interminable ad breaks and ( their obsession with Tiger Woods. When I watched on the red button, they showed Tiger and nothing else for about 15 minutes. Lots of standing around and birdsong. Watch the Open and it's constant coverage of people playing golf from all round the course. Between 9 and 10.30 last night, we probably saw about 25 golf shots. Then there's Gary Lineker - don't get me started on that ar53. As an achorman, he makes a very good centre forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I P Knightley Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 What about Eldrick mumpin about the wind, what wind I ask you? Too many old farts still out there I suppose. That one struck me - they went straight from his interview mentioning the changing direction of wind at 11 & 12 to a comment from one of the better people at the Beeb (ie not Lineker) saying that it was as calm as a millpond. I put it down to Eldrick being on such a different plane to the rest of us that a 5mph breeze would come into his calculations. I need the stuff blowing me off my feet before I think about changing my club... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I've no money on Rose, I hope he does well. He's impressed me as being an all round good-guy ever since the Open at Birkdale. His swing yesterday looked immaculate without being super-human like Tiger or freakishly muscled like Casey. I want a swing like that. C'Mon Retief...In the Hole!! By the way: Separated at birth??

Tazio Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 They just mentioned that the greens have slowed up. I remember a few years ago when I used to play Braids 1 every week the greenkeeper told me that after they had prepped the greens for the annual competition (can't remember it's name just now) the greens were faster than they had at Atlanta. Worst putting round I have had in my life, and that is a bold statement as I can't putt for toffee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medico Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 I thought after finishing so far behind Immelman yesterday Tiger didn't have much of a chance. He's now just finished his round on -5, with Snedeker leading on -9 after 10 holes Another good day tomorrow and i reckon he could be right up there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benny Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 As Alliss just said.Thats Tiger finished.The rest will try to get a couple of birdies to put more daylight between him and them.Mistakes will be made to Tigers benefit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medico Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 Anyone else watching this tonight? Tiger's just bogied 4 to go back to -4, thought he would have been on fire today but doesn't look like it yet. Snedeker bogied the 1st and then eagled the 2nd to go into joint lead at -10 after Immelman bogied the 1st. Flesch and Casey both on -8 Looks like its going to be a really interesting last day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Medico Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 I thought Casey could have been in with a shout at the start of the day, looked like he was going well. Just dropped 6 shots in 5 holes though. Probably between Immelman, Flesch and Snedeker now. Should be Immelmans unless he completely mucks it up though!

chester copperpot Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 Probably sealed it. Tiger's played rubbish by his standards all week (except Yesterday), and yet he's still going to finish second in a Major. Just goes to show you that even when he's playing poor, he still makes the guy win the tournament. Fair play to the guy like, he's some piece of work. Immelman's been the most deserving of this, this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
