I haven't said a word about the Olympics yet--not that interested, but the rest of the world loves them, so go crazy. I can't watch the PGA today because of Olympic coverage, though, so I'm officially registering a complaint.

Didn't get to see a second of this, but I see Tiger ended the day tied for the lead. When was the last time he led after 36? I know he's been close a number of times.

please another Tiger meltdown..can't get enough of those.

Best I've seen Tiger drive for years. Also McIlroy hit literally the worst putt I have ever seen from a professional golfer.

Mcllroy in being awesome then...to come back from the kind of form he was showing earlier in the season is quite something.

PGA is the duddest of the 4 majors. Still cool to see Rory run away with it after Poulter drifted backwards.

hes the best golfer in the world, according to Norm MacDonald

The way he's won the two majors is highly impressive.

@EdgeofSportsVery glad that after leading this nation to wars based on lies, at cost of countless lives, Condi Rice now gets to play golf.
@EdgeofSportsThe thousands of Iraqi women killed in last decade want to congratulate Condi Rice on her trailblazing entry into Augusta National.
@EdgeofSportsThe 30% of women in US military who report sexual assault while in combat zone want to congratulate Condi Rice on Augusta membership.

this is going to ruffle some feathers
"What makes it such an awful position to be in is I have grown up my whole life playing for Ireland under the Golfing Union of Ireland umbrella, But the fact is, I’ve always felt more British than Irish. Maybe it was the way I was brought up, I don’t know, but I have always felt more of a connection with the UK than with Ireland. And so I have to weigh that up against the fact that I’ve always played for Ireland and so it is tough. Whatever I do, I know my decision is going to upset some people but I just hope the vast majority will understand."

"big Ulster rugby fan etc" a polite way of saying it
― Know how Roo feel (LocalGarda), Monday, 10 September 2012 11:10 (eleven years ago) link
it might ruffle some feathers but surely the majority of ppl are far enough along now to realise that UK citizens living in NI might identify with that side of the heritage as easily and legitimately as eg Irvine insisting on the tricolour in F1. Can't imagine it'll be a big deal.
Forget it jake, it's Portadown
― Randy Carol (darraghmac), Monday, 10 September 2012 11:16 (eleven years ago) link
what is annoying is it will slightly affect our ability to cheer him on as one of our own, and that's going to be important when he starts winning 3/4 majors a year.
― Know how Roo feel (LocalGarda), Monday, 10 September 2012 11:29 (eleven years ago) link
if you accept that, you lose at least some of the ability to cheer any of the NI athletes. I don't think he has a problem with being claimed by both sides, it's got to be something that all NI celebrities are aware of. Can't imagine that he's asking the irish to stop cheering for him, he's just clarifying his own position, which he's obv got the right to do.
I don't find it gratifying when someone who identifies as Irish feels the need to use their celebrity to have a go at the UK heritage of NI either.
― Randy Carol (darraghmac), Monday, 10 September 2012 11:37 (eleven years ago) link
it's not really that I'd stop from the POV of disowning him or something, more that I'd feel less entitled to do so after he's had to sort of declare himself as UK. but yeah of course will always root for him. what's weird is that both him and g-mac seem Irish to me.
― Know how Roo feel (LocalGarda), Monday, 10 September 2012 11:47 (eleven years ago) link
na no fuckin way gmac has such a unionist chin it's untrue, they both do tbh. it's in the walk, too, a kinda straightback duckwaddle that gmac has, i'm tellin ya we'd spot in in the communion line in an instant.

everything about McIlroy suggests he's the product of a mixed marriage. as you say, it's going to be an issue with NI celebs. I think he could become someone for both communities, sort of like Best (who was Protestant iirc).
I'm p sure Gmac leans Irish but I understand why neither of them want to come down firmly on one side. They wave the NI flag after tournaments.

couldn't understand any of the last ten posts
really looking forward to tiger and rory duking it out over the next few years, though part of me feels sad for tiger - it almost seems beneath him to have to chase some young gun like this - ten years ago we all thought he'd be dominating into his forties
― la goonies (k3vin k.), Monday, 10 September 2012 22:18 (eleven years ago) link
idk, a year ago if you offered tiger the chance to be duking it out with *anyone* for top spots again he'd have taken it i'm sure. And mcilroy isn't beneath anyone as an opponent, dude is setting about dominating the sport in his own right
