    Cannot stand him.

    Ridiculous shot from the rough by Phil there.
    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    Granted the Mets are a joke, but really?

    Yeah, for real. If I don't have a heart attack in the next two hours, I win.

    Sick shot by Phil.

    I always get a kick out of his little celebratory leap in the air. Dude barely gets an inch off the ground. :lol:

    Man, Phil just can't win this tournament. Impressive round for Rose. A lot of people were talking about him coming in.
  • normnorm Posts: 31,146

    In the media room? Loved the answer about 10. "We already talked about that so pay attention"

    It was a great tournament.

    Didn't realize rose won aronimink.

    ya media room ... he gave great insight ... i know you mentioned bones gave him the wrong yardage but that's kind of shocking considering everyone was hitting sand wedge or at most gap all weekend ... the green isn't that big to call for a wedge ... especially if you're gonna draw it where you get even more yardage ...

    Are we looking at a 4/5 under winning this thing?
    Have a blast Cliffy!!!
    I'll be surprised if anyone is under par after this weekend. I say +1 wins it.
    Good guess.
    I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

    Oh I agree, it was a really good interview. Bones said 127 with the wind and rain, you cluld hear it on tv. Official yardage was 121 I believe. Could have been the difference. End of the day, obviously up to Phil tl be comfortable and execute. Just a big spot for the mics to catch that

    I don't mind him. He's a total dork/fanboy but I never really found him to be all that smug.

    Speaking of Costas, what the hell was up with that stupid "U.S. Bank Sports Update" crap during the Open? It was like a half-time show of sorts....during a golf tournament. And if there were other big sporting events going on, I can understand an update segment. But yesterday, with nothing else to show, Costas showed highlights of the Mets/Cubs game. Like...who gives a fuck about that? Then he hyped the Stanely Cup Finals. I get it...NBC Sports Network is televising the Stanley Cup and since nobody watches it except for fans of the teams in it, a reminder that it's actually going on makes sense. But if I'm watching a golf major, I'm not looking to watch post-game hockey interviews in the middle of it. I've always felt that NBC's gold telecasts sucked compared to CBS's, and these updates didn't do much to sway that opinion.

    Phil's putting was horrible (statistically the worst of anyone yesterday) but I think his poor wedge play was even more of a problem. I don't know what the hell happened on that par three where he hit it long and pulled it. And then that hole where he ended up having to do pitch shot on the green. That was a hole that lots of players were getting close for birdie attempts. Pretty surprising to see him not get his approach shot up over the ridge.

    yeah ... in interviews after he basically said his 2 double bogey should have been bogeys but the two shots he's gonna think back on were his shots into 13 and 15 ... he totally misclubbed on 13 ... could have been told bad yardage ... and on 15 he said he quit on it ... on 13 ... bogey is close to a 2 shot swing ...

    i thought 13 was the easiest on the whole course. once he didn't birdie there, you had a feeling it wasn't going to be his day...despite only being 1 back at the time, i think.
