Tiger Woods car/life crash

and again

aussie bros, that's nice :)

drop a shot charl ffs

srsly

she is so shiny it's nice how shiny she is

Schwartzel > Day; Mrs. Day > Mrs. Schwartzel.

"if it comes to a playoff, that could make all the difference, peter"

wow, buried another one

2 putts to win.......

OH WOW

nailed it

geez 4 birdies to close the tournament

dude is ice-cold.

haha i seriously thought "she was days" was some sort of awesome slang term at first

I bet no one's ever birdied out from behind to win--not four holes deep, anyway.

huh wiki says it's pronounced "karl" but clearly jim nantz does not agree

lol kev the one time i casually drop an apostrophe

holy fuck that shot schwartzel made on the first hole!

he knocked in another on the sixth or so too

stupid ending to a stupid tournament in a stupid sport imo

nah golf is rad

being a casual golf fan is pretty bad, it has the capacity to deflate drama like nothing else. EXCITEMENT EXCITEMENT EXCITEMENT o some boring asshole you've never heard of just appeared from nowhere and won.

how is that not awesome?

that's the best part! anyone can put together a good weekend and beat the big names you're for some reason expected to root for.

nah that's not the best part really but jordan is completely wrong

the masters isn't a stupid tournament but golf is a stupid, often hateable, sport

I don't know if today makes me more or less optimistic about Tiger catching Nicklaus. That missed eagle putt was ominous.

uh clemenza the guy hasn't won a tournament in 2 years, he isn't catching nicklaus

he's catchin him alright

I defer to your powers of ESP.

- spits into baccy jar, rocks a little more on his chair -

I'd be completely fine with it if the guys appearing from nowhere didn't always seem like boring assholes! That's not a plucky underdog I can get behind. Tho I appreciate that the judgement of them in those terms doesn't have much basis and so is probably my problem.

ha yeah that's part of it

also it's more fun when the big names are in contention/leading because they are the best players and have the most/coolest shots

what's your beef with golf, sarge?

like in terms of it's boring to watch, or you think the game itself is dumb, or the privilege/politics?

i still can't understand the mentality that tiger is of all a sudden gonna be able to flip a switch back to 2001 -- idk how many tournaments in a row he has to falter in before ppl just give up on it

mostly the last one, some of the other two -- i usually watch the back nines of the majors, that's about all i can watch tho

if that was tiger faltering.............

Well, he doesn't need to flip the switch back to 2001--he needs to flip it back to 2009, when he won six tournaments. I'm not saying it will happen, but I don't know how you can say with such absolute certainty that it won't happen. Great athletes do surprising things.

the guy hasn't won a tournament in 2 years, he isn't catching nicklaus

He's only 35. Nicklaus was 46 when he won his 5th Masters, and Tiger already has 5. PLENTY of time for him to eclipse Nicklaus.

And, again, I think today sent out a mixed message in terms of his chances.

mmmmhmmm

would back tiger to win 1 of the next 4 majors on todays showing

hope tiger never wins again

would back tiger to win 1 of the next 4 majors on todays showing

how about 4 more after that

Tiger's definitely shown some poor play over the last two years, but you're not as good as he was for as long as he was and then just lose it.

No formula for this, but I'd say his chances have dropped in two years from the 80%+ range down to about...25 or 30%. Which'd be decent. (He needs four to tie and five to go ahead, right?)

call it one every three years, divide by 7, carry the 2, yeah i'd say he'll do it

In sports, not usually, though it does happen. Elsewhere, cf. the Rolling Stones and Martin Scorsese.

yeah, that's right clem

(He needs four to tie and five to go ahead, right?)

Hmm, I thought he had five Masters wins, but he only has four. Hmm.
