    A tweet from Keegan Bradley yesterday. Seems like it was in direct response to a lot of the nonsense

    Classy move by TW to mark his ball and let Casey W finish. One of the most respectful guys on tour to play with

    Sergio went from being on the cusp of winning $1,710,000 to collecting $237,000 in the matter of two holes of golf.

    With his win Sunday at The Players, Woods has now shot the low score in the final-round group in each of his last 22 victories.
    Forget every other stat that shows how super-humanly good Tiger is...
    Just think about being the low score, in the final rd, in your last 22 wins...
    Nah, he doesn't strike fear in other golfers anymore...
    LOL :lol:
    Wow.
    GO TIGER...can't wait for the US Open.

    uhhh ... that's just in his pairing no? ... it's not the low score for the final round for all golfers ... he was like only 2 under yesterday ...

    no one wants to talk about the potential illegal drop he took on 14? ... :lol::lol:

    I was watching yesterday as best as I could from a plane. Technology is pretty damn sweet.

    I'll be there Saturday (want to be able to actually see what happens Sunday) and probably whichever practice round I can get the least expensive ticket for. Want to get a feel for the layout and where the crowds will be the worst. It is going to be an absolute shit show with the size and layout of the course. I have no idea how it's going to work.

    This drop stuff is getting absurd. Are we going to start looking at the number of feet off a line a drop is from a blimp view for every shot? If so, it needs to be done for every drop that occurs in a tournament, not just Tiger's. You clearly play golf. Do you know how hard it is to get the exact line a ball passed a point from 250 yard away?

    Yes, low score in the final-round group. Meaning whoever he has played with in the final round in which he has been paired and in which he won, he has beaten that day as well. Impressive.
    Illegal drop stuff again? LOL. Some people crack me up...

    SEPTA and shuttles for me. Going to still be awful but not nearly as bad as parking at PPL parking and getting shuttled. That's how far they will be shipping people, I am hearing.

    I hear you but this drop has just been getting too much press. It's a much much different situation than the Masters. I just can't believe some of the pictures I am seeing of the blimp views and lines and all. I mean, every drop in golf in a similar situation is probably slightly off line, right?

    Yeah, I hear you. Going to be awesome. My first weather related request is no rain.

    How soon do you think we will start hearing about Tiger (and others) in the area? Tiger has never played Merion. No shot he is going in to the practice rounds having never played the course. I think all he has on his schedule before Merion is The Memorial.

    honestly ... based on all the evidence - blimp, rolfing's live commentary, etc ... i would say he for sure took a bad drop ... did he intentionally? ... i dunno ... and honestly i don't really care ... what i do think is clear is that tiger woods clearly gets preferential treatment ... and again - i don't really care too much about it ... i'm just telling it the way i see it ...
