2009 Masters thread

[hammersavage]

Starts tomorrow morning. I guess Tiger is fully back after last weekend and like all tournaments he is the prohibitive favorite going in.


Really I just wanted people to see this:

<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/6GKSJOSsExE&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&hl=en&feature=player_embedded&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/6GKSJOSsExE&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&hl=en&feature=player_embedded&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

Little hard to see at the beginning but that's insane.

[disneyspy]

holy chrishna what a shot! i'll be watchin,thx for startin a thread

[razorboy]

I've got Anthony Kim. I'm betting my gold plated iPod.

[TheGameHHH]

Can't wait! No better tourney in golf and no better golf day then Sunday at The Masters

[Snoogans]

http://www.masters.com/en_US/index.html

Official site for the Masters. This would have the most up to date leaderboard.
Also, because ESPN is Satan's company, the TV coverage doesnt start until 4PM despite the last group teeing off at 2pm, on that site you can watch live Amen Corner starting whenever the first group gets there (around 10:45 Am) and then live coverage of nos 15 and 16 from when the first group gets there (around 11:30).

I actually love watching online that way even during the TV coverage because you get to see every single guy play a couple holes while the TV follows the main guys

[cougarjake13]

[Snoogans]

For you gamblers (not that I would ever condone such a thing)

14112 PAUL CASEY +2550
14113 RETIEF GOOSEN +1900

14115 RORY MCILROY +2750
14116 LEE WESTWOOD +4500
14117 HENRIK STENSON +3000
14118 ADAM SCOTT +7500 Very up and down but when up, can win a major. Great line to play small
14119 JIM FURYK +6000
14120 ROBERT KARLSSON +4000
14121 MIKE WEIR +6850 Previous winner, but course might have gotten a little long for him. Not a terrible play here
14122 STEWART CINK +7350 Solid play here.
14123 ZACH JOHNSON +3950
14124 K.J CHOI +8050 This line is high cause Choi has had an awful start but has shown the ability to play very well in the masters. Great line here
14125 ANDRES ROMERO +8400
14126 KENNY PERRY +6650
14127 STEVE STRICKER +8400 see Cink
14128 TREVOR IMMELMAN +8400
14129 HUNTER MAHAN +7050 Good year goin. Could sneak into contention
14130 IAN POULTER +8750
14131 ANGEL CABRERA +9750 He has won big tournies before and usually shows up decent in majors. Very good line.
14132 STUART APPLEBY +8600 been playin better lately. Could be the first Aussie to win the Masters. Decent play
14133 TIM CLARK +9600
14134 RORY SABBATINI +10500 Dont be fooled by the high pay out. Sabbatini is a bitch and would fold if he was in contention Sunday. DONT PLAY HERE

14140 ROSS FISHER +11000
14141 JUSTIN ROSE +5500
14142 THE FIELD (ANY OTHER PLAYER) +650 actually not a terrible play. I can think of 5 guys not on this list who have the game to win it.

So Tiger goes off at 2 to 1 followed by the field at 6.5 to 1 and Phil has the second best odds for any player.

I added in a few pointers for any degenerates like me and savage who might want to bet this. My recent run of dominance in the Cougarjake golf pool should tell you all you need to know about this advice. Shit I might be the only person who watched some of every day of the Shell Houston Open last week.


You're welcome, Hammer

[epo]

14107 PADRAIG HARRINGTON +1580

You are welcome. Soon they'll start calling it the "Harrington Slam".

[Snoogans]

14107 PADRAIG HARRINGTON +1580

You are welcome. Soon they'll start calling it the "Harrington Slam".

yea thats not exactly a sleeper kinda bet. Way to step out on a limb picking the 3rd favorite pretty much.

If you want the smartest bet its Tiger Woods +200. I was tryin to give some solid small play bets that could pay off quite nicely

[epo]

yea thats not exactly a sleeper kinda bet. Way to step out on a limb picking the 3rd favorite pretty much.

I'm not talking about a sleeper....I'm talking about a winner. Two majors in a row, halfway to a Paddy-Slam.

[Snoogans]

I'm not talking about a sleeper....I'm talking about a winner. Two majors in a row, halfway to a Paddy-Slam.

Yea 2 majors that tiger woods played at neither of. And I dont see Paddie bein able to win the US Open at bethpage anyway


As far as guys not on that list, I think the best chance for a winner is Miguel Angel Jimenez

[Snoogans]

Good shit goin on so far. Norman is -1, Tim Clark is leading at -4 and the course is actually holding some shots into the greens

[Snoogans]

epo your boy Paddy is -1 through 9

[hammersavage]

Boy that's a lot of red. Thank you mother nature.

[Snoogans]

yea the course looks great today. greens are FAST AS SHIT though

[epo]

epo your boy Paddy is -1 through 9

I see he's tied with Phil McFattie.

[Snoogans]

I see he's tied with Phil McFattie.

yea BT bogeyed 1 and I was preparing for an awesome melt down. but he has hung on so far

[epo]

yea BT bogeyed 1 and I was preparing for an awesome melt down. but he has hung on so far

The real question at the event is "when" will Phil melt down?

[Snoogans]

Paddy is about to go -2

[Snoogans]

chad campbell birdied the first 5

[epo]

chad campbell birdied the first 5

He'll be able to tell his grandkids about the time he shot 64 on Thursday at Masters and didn't shoot a round under par after that.

[Snoogans]

He'll be able to tell his grandkids about the time he shot 64 on Thursday at Masters and didn't shoot a round under par after that.

or the time he went out in 30 and in in 45


thats how it normally ends up there

[epo]

Paddy at -3. Only 59 more holes to the 3rd leg of the Paddy Slam.

[Snoogans]

campbell has been par through since those by birdies

Tied for the lead with like 3 other poeple. Tiger evene thru 5. Espn coverage starts in half hour

[Snoogans]

Mike Weir in at -4. The course was playin well today butim impressed by that round. Esp since, though not too bad, Amen Corner wasnt exactly his friend today

[Snoogans]

JIM FURYK in the lead

-6 in the clubhouse. Im pretty surprised. he hasnt played that well so far this season

[Snoogans]

and for any of you who havent watched any online, the coverage has been pretty solid, anchored by Ian Eagle. Which seems pretty impressive to have a big name broadcaster on your online channels

[razorboy]

and for any of you who havent watched any online, the coverage has been pretty solid, anchored by Ian Eagle. Which seems pretty impressive to have a big name broadcaster on your online channels

He gives all of us Ians a bad name by pronouncing his name like a douche bag.

[Snoogans]

He gives all of us Ians a bad name by pronouncing his name like a douche bag.

HAHAHAHA. I do hate the way he says it. EYE ON Eagle

[Snoogans]

Holy fuck epo, you might be right.

Chad Campbell is -9 with 3 to play

[epo]

Holy fuck epo, you might be right.

Chad Campbell is -9 with 3 to play

Hahaha. What do I always tell you? EPO IS ALWAYS RIGHT!

Actually its a pretty common thing that someone just kills it in Round 1 of the Masters and then goes away. I'll love watching Campbell putt on Saturday when they don't water those greens for the balance of the tournament.

[hammersavage]

Tiger's at E last I saw. I thought since today was playing so fair he'd be shooting better but he is usually a slow starter (by his standards only) and gets better by the round.

[epo]

Tiger finishes at -2. I would bet good money that Tiger uses the phrase "I had to battle out there today" during his press conference.

[Ritalin]

Tiger finishes at -2. I would bet good money that Tiger uses the phrase "I had to battle out there today" during his press conference.

That's like betting that Michael Jordan is going to start an answer to any question by saying "Oh, most definitely...."

[cougarjake13]

its all irrelevant as he'll be close to the lead or have it outright by sunday afternoon

[Snoogans]

Tiger Woods has never broken 70 in the masters first round

[cougarjake13]

Tiger Woods has never broken 70 in the masters first round

so he's right where he wants to be

[Snoogans]

Chad Campbell is fuckin 10 under

[Snoogans]

campbell is -10, 4 clear of the field though they havent all teed off yet. Tiger birdied 6 to move to -3

[hammersavage]

Weather is supposed to take a turn so it obviously benefits those with the early tee times. Tiger 6 back.

[Snoogans]

wind is RIPPIN right now. If anything I think wind helps tiger overall, though campbell got to play a bunch of holes before it came up. Scores will not be so low this afternoon.

Mahan is also in trouble through Amen Corner. I think campbell finishes either -8 or -9 so if tiger get just get to -5 i think he has a great shot tomorrow

[Snoogans]

par 3 144 yard 12th hole today has 12 pars, 10 bogeys, 7 scores worse, and ZERO birdies. Playin an avg of 3.93 and half the guys havent gone through it with the wind yet

[cougarjake13]

i learned today that if you address the ball and the wind blows it to move, you get penalized for moving it

[Snoogans]

i learned today that if you address the ball and the wind blows it to move, you get penalized for moving it

i missed some of it. Explain what happened. cause thats not true. in fact you have to swing at and hit the ball for it to count. Even if you address and start to swing and stop, you are fine. So he musta touched it on accident

[hammersavage]

i missed some of it. Explain what happened. cause thats not true. in fact you have to swing at and hit the ball for it to count. Even if you address and start to swing and stop, you are fine. So he musta touched it on accident

He didn't from what I saw. Addressed it, wind blew it, penalized

[Snoogans]

He didn't from what I saw. Addressed it, wind blew it, penalized

who was it?

[Snoogans]

and around what time

[cougarjake13]

i missed some of it. Explain what happened. cause thats not true. in fact you have to swing at and hit the ball for it to count. Even if you address and start to swing and stop, you are fine. So he musta touched it on accident




he ( paddy h) approached the putt
did a few practice swings
moved closer to do putt and lined up his putter


it got windy so he backed off
he went back to putt and got real windy again and it blew the ball back a few feet


he never touched it but they said since he addressed the ball and put the club down to start the putt it didnt matter that he backed away and wind then blew it


still gave him the penalty

[cougarjake13]

and around what time

paddy at the 17th hole

musta been around 630- 7pm

[Snoogans]

ok i figured it out. here is what happened, and it was a putt, not a swing, that changes the rule:
6:19 p.m. ET: After much consternation and debate, it was ruled that Padraig Harrington had indeed grounded his club before stepping away and watching the wind move his ball. He was assessed a penalty, then made the putt for a par to remain at 3-under.




You cant ground your club (meaning touch the ground) on the green behind the ball without playing the ball. If it touched the ground, no matter why the ball moves, it counts as a shot.

The theory of it is so that guys dont push the green down a bit behind the ball, making it easier to make contact. Mostly that would apply if your about to putt down hill, so the green behind the ball raises up.

On the fairway or in the rough, it would not have been a penalty.

[hammersavage]

I never said swing

[Snoogans]

he ( paddy h) approached the putt
did a few practice swings
moved closer to do putt and lined up his putter


it got windy so he backed off
he went back to putt and got real windy again and it blew the ball back a few feet


he never touched it but they said since he addressed the ball and put the club down to start the putt it didnt matter that he backed away and wind then blew it


still gave him the penalty

yea the penalty was cause he put his putter down behind the ball. Doing that basically means you are ready to putt. if you dont putt and the ball moves, thats your fault. Dont get up and put the club down

its not that he pulled back and it moved. if he had never touched the ground, it would be no penalty

[Snoogans]

I never said swing

i was just sating that it makes a difference in the address the ball rule as to which is being done

[cougarjake13]

yea the penalty was cause he put his putter down behind the ball. Doing that basically means you are ready to putt. if you dont putt and the ball moves, thats your fault. Dont get up and put the club down

its not that he pulled back and it moved. if he had never touched the ground, it would be no penalty

it was just a bad time for the wind i guess

[Snoogans]

and though it may seem like a dumb rule, its a rule they all know. And on top of that, its actually a useful rule, same with the hazard rule

[hammersavage]

Address my balls

[Snoogans]

it was just a bad time for the wind i guess

no, the point is you dont touch the ground behind a putt. Most guys never do if you watch closly cause they know this rule.

[Snoogans]

Address my balls

look if you dont really wanna know, dont fuckin bring it up. Im tryin to explain so you guys know why its not bullshit. Stop being a little giant baby lookin bitch

[hammersavage]

I neither brought it up nor said it was bullshit. Get your head out of your gaping vagina.

[slurp mercury]

It's so great you all are here discussing a game you love. Does Ron like golf?

[Snoogans]

He didn't from what I saw. Addressed it, wind blew it, penalized

I neither brought it up nor said it was bullshit. Get your head out of your gaping vagina.

sure looks like you brought it up

[cougarjake13]

im not arguing with ya


just saying it sucked for him



he was all ready to putt and a lil gust came by so he backed off

then he went back and a tornado come thru and blew it a few feet



yrh he knew the rule, just saying it sucked


hope he doenst lose by one stroke

[hammersavage]

That's chronological. No, not chronic you pothead, chronological which means in order. You asked someone to explain it hence I didn't bring it up.

[Snoogans]

yea, yea and you explained. Obviously thats gonna make me think you are interested.

then he went back and a tornado come thru and blew it a few feet

i know, but like i said, no one touched the green with a putter. This is why they dont

[hammersavage]

I kinda care. Thanks.

[Snoogans]

and for anyone who doesnt know, Rory McIlroy is disqualified for signing in incorrect score card. He kicked sand in a hazard and didnt take the penalty. he is out

[slurp mercury]

I love little giant babies!

[cougarjake13]

i know, but like i said, no one touched the green with a putter. This is why they dont



so lets say he doesnt address it and it gets blown to a new spot and then rolls down a hill or something



does he just have to suck it up and putt from the new spot even if it goes like 15 ft away

[Snoogans]

so lets say he doesnt address it and it gets blown to a new spot and then rolls down a hill or something



does he just have to suck it up and putt from the new spot even if it goes like 15 ft away

he puts it back where it was as close as he can, and putts with no penalty. Same if someone else's shot its his ball on the green and moves it

and i mean their ball hits your ball. not that they played yours

[cougarjake13]

he puts it back where it was as close as he can, and putts with no penalty. Same if someone else's shot its his ball on the green and moves it

ok so that made me think of another question


it prob doesnt happen but it looks like they use quarters to mark the ball



what happens if a guy mistakenly uses another guys mark and no one notices til after he takes the shot ??

[hammersavage]

What if the players homeless caddy grabs the quarter? Or uses a cracker and eats it.

[Snoogans]

ok so that made me think of another question


it prob doesnt happen but it looks like they use quarters to mark the ball



what happens if a guy mistakenly uses another guys mark and no one notices til after he takes the shot ??

he would have to take a 1 shot penalty and go back and play from his mark.

[Snoogans]

What if the players homeless caddy grabs the quarter? Or uses a cracker and eats it.

then the terrorists win

[Snoogans]

seems like they gave Rory a break and didnt penalize or DQ him. Im glad, cause believe me I understand why he did what he did

[Snoogans]

amen corner is live on masters website

[disneyspy]

seriously you are that lazy?

ya i thought right after i posted,im on there,thx tho

[disneyspy]

what a fuckin awesome picture and the sound of the drives is scary close feelin

[disneyspy]

we have those same tee markers at my club

[Snoogans]

we have those same tee markers at my club

alot of places have the fake wood tee box markers, some nicer places have real wood but ive noticed most around NJ are plastic and painted

[Snoogans]

Im becoming a fan of Rory but everytime they say his name I cant help but think of stupid Tin Cup Roy McAvoy

[Snoogans]

Tiger might be out of it. He doubled 1. He birdied 3 so he is back to -1 thru 3 but he needs to get really fuckin hot for the rest of this round to stay in it

[Snoogans]

tiger made the turn at -2. if he can somehow come in in 32 he is right in it. Phil is -5 now

[drjoek]

Someone should tell Phil thata fitted shirt is a bad idea.

[EliSnow]

Someone should tell Phil thata fitted shirt is a bad idea.

At least he had the man-boobs reduced and got a little more fit.

[EliSnow]

Tiger's at -4 with one more hole to play today.

[cougarjake13]

Tiger's at -4 with one more hole to play today.

still at 4 and currently behind the leader a -11


might be too tough but if anyone could do it'd be tiger



he'd have to shoot a 63 just to even think of smelling the front of the pack

then everyone in front of him has to shoot par or over par

[Snoogans]

I dont agree. he made a 6 shot swing at Bay Hill without needing a playoff and he didnt go super low.

I have a feeling that the winner of this tourney is at BEST -10, most likely single digits. If Tiger can somehow sneak out a 67 and get to -9 I think he has a good shot. Even when immelman won last year he shot 75 on sunday. Sunday at the Masters is a whole different beast

thats true but like i said the guys in front have to shoot par or worse


cause right now cabrera and perry are at -11 which means for tiger to catch them they have to shoot par to stay at -11 or go 2 over to reach the -9 you said


impossible no but if they shoot 2 under or better i dont see how tiger can match that unless he birdies every hole and shoots -18 for the day

[Snoogans]

well if they go 2 under they would be -13. So -9 would be what would catch them. Not -18.

And yea you are right. But go look at how many 3rd round leaders break par on sunday. Then look at who is up there. Its definately not a stretch to assume those guys will not break par. Like I said, even the guy who won last year shot a 75 on sunday

[cougarjake13]

yeh i wasnt trying to be literal but i got ya



theres also 16 guys in front of him he has to catch and pass also

[Snoogans]

yeh i wasnt trying to be literal but i got ya



theres also 16 guys in front of him he has to catch and pass also

actually no. he is tied for 10th

[cougarjake13]

actually no. he is tied for 10th

well according to foxsports.com its 16

why they have him last of the tied for 10's i dunno

ahhh didnt see that


well then it knocks down the number of people ahead but he still has to worry somewhat about them

[Snoogans]

ahhh didnt see that

thats the beauty of golf. Any guy on that list has a shot to win. Tiger has the best shot of the guys that far back but anyone of them has a chance

[disneyspy]

after his comeback at bayhill,that'll throw some extra pressure on the leaders,i think he'll do it

[cougarjake13]

thats the beauty of golf. Any guy on that list has a shot to win. Tiger has the best shot of the guys that far back but anyone of them has a chance

and if he even gets close i'll be watching

[Snoogans]

Its a shame it rained so much in Augusta before the tournament. Only now are you seeing some real Masters scoring.

I think thats how they like it. Everyone bitched that ti got too hard. I would like them to make it hard for 3 days and then set it up to go on Sunday. Its also nerves on Sunday that brings the high scores too

[epo]

Phil Mickelson might be the dumbest man ever.

[Furtherman]

I love golf!



*opinion may change tomorrow*

[Snoogans]

this shit is dominating right now. Phil is ass backwards. AND WHY DID HE WEAR SUCH A TIGHT SHIRT. ITS GROSS

[EliSnow]

Phil Mickelson might be the dumbest man ever.

I missed 12 and 13. What did he do?

[Snoogans]

he tried to hit a 110% 9 iron and spun it back into the water on 12. they both birdied 13.

[cougarjake13]

this shit is dominating right now. Phil is ass backwards. AND WHY DID HE WEAR SUCH A TIGHT SHIRT. ITS GROSS

i was curious about that myself

[EliSnow]

God, they can both kill the ball.

[epo]

Seriously, that stupid bastard went for it on 12 and pussied out on 13. Easily cost himself 2 strokes.

[Snoogans]

damn tiger

[Snoogans]

holy shit

[Snoogans]

so close for tiger. Phil just BLEW that. Both are still in it, and tiger just caught a real break

[EliSnow]

If the had both eagle 15, perry would have crumbled

[Snoogans]

i cant believe what i am watching

[EliSnow]

Tiger!

[TheMojoPin]

Why can't Phil just do a few pushups each day?

Maybe a light bench press 3-4 times a week?

Come on, Phil.

You're bouncing around everywhere.

[KnoxHarrington]

Kenny Perry almost lost his shit entirely on that birdie putt he just missed.

He's crumbling.

[Snoogans]

yea good call knox

[EliSnow]

Kenny Perry almost lost his shit entirely on that birdie putt he just missed.

He's crumbling.

Or not.

[Snoogans]

Tiger is pretty much out of it now. Great run. Phil still has a shot but its perry's to lose

[TheMojoPin]

Time to turn this stupid shit off.

[Snoogans]

not anymore

[Snoogans]

i wouldnt go there yet. its still 3. Tiger birdies 18 its 2 and who know what happens. We all know about norman

[TheMojoPin]

Rockwell?

Schwarzkopf?

PS-I'm fucking with you.

[epo]

i wouldnt go there yet. its still 3. Tiger birdies 18 its 2 and who know what happens. We all know about norman

Cabrera can't fuck with Perry the way that Faldo fucked with Norman.

[epo]

Time to turn this stupid shit off.

Why must you hate America?

[EliSnow]

Tiger is pretty much out of it now. Great run. Phil still has a shot but its perry's to lose

Yep. Great round.

[TheMojoPin]

This is gay.

[Snoogans]

by the way tiger is done now

[Snoogans]

wow
if tiger pars that to stay at nine he still has pretty much no chance. But what a fuckin save

[epo]

This is gay.

Commie.

[Snoogans]

this was the best round i ever saw no matter what happens. No way I can turn this off. Greg Norman. WATCH FAG

[TheMojoPin]

Tiger IS golf, you monster.

What are you, some kind scumbg Phil-lover?

[Snoogans]

phil has the clubhouse lead at -9. Only 3 guys ahead of them on the course and they have 4 holes to play. Who knows

[Dell]

Great show with a disappointing finish for Lefty and Tiger... now trying to muster up some enthusiasm for those still golfing

[EliSnow]

Tiger IS golf, you monster.

What are you, some kind scumbg Phil-lover?

[TheMojoPin]

Did you just compare Phil to the Cubs?

I might have to murder you now.

[Tenbatsuzen]

Did you just compare Phil to the Cubs?

I might have to murder you now.

Well, FIGJAM a few years ago was more comparable...

[TheGameHHH]

this was an awesome Sunday at Augusta

[EliSnow]

Did you just compare Phil to the Cubs?

I might have to murder you now.
I'm sorry.



Phil's actually more successful than the cubs

[Dell]

Did you just compare Phil to the Cubs?

I might have to murder you now.

Couldn't have... Phil has won some big ones

[Tenbatsuzen]

That double bogey is gonna haunt FIGJAM

[drjoek]

How do people actually root for Tiger? Its like cheering for Google. I recognize his greatness but he really isn't a likeable character to my thinking.

[TheMojoPin]

Scumbags.

All of you.

[Jack Nicklaus]

Did you just compare Phil to the Cubs?

I might have to murder you now.

Young man, Phil Mickelson may not have 18 major championships like myself, but he has won major events, unlike your Chicago Cubs. They are an embarrassment to the sporting world.

[TheMojoPin]

How do people actually root for Tiger? Its like cheering for Google. I recognize his greatness but he really isn't a likeable character to my thinking.

Because he's amazing and we're not awful cummy dentists.

[TheMojoPin]

Wait, who is this Shingo guy?!?

That guy fucking rules.

[drjoek]

Because he's amazing and we're not awful cummy dentists.

Iguess I root for the field or underdog. rather than Tiger who seems to have no charm to him. Again he is Amazing but rooting for him I can't see.

[EliSnow]

More like cheering for a michangelo and hoping he does the sistine chapel

I don't pull for Tiger, but I really enjoy watching him play. I'm more prone to watch an event when a great athelete is playing. Felt the same way about Kareem Abdul Jabar and Mahamid Ali... never pulled for them but enjoyed watching them.

[drjoek]

Why? I get my wish here. your beloved Eldrick didn't win did he? He probably flying home already

[Tenbatsuzen]

are youfucking kidding me?

You better be rooting for Shingo.

Shin GO

Shingo rules. He wears the same kinda hat but a different color to match his outfit every round. Like a black Asian guy

[Snoogans]

Nice win, Angel. Best Masters Sunday Ive ever seen

[underdog]

Iguess I root for the field or underdog.

And I appreciate it.

[PhilDeez]

Nice win for Cabrera, you have to love the guys attitude out there - at one point when Perry hit the shot that should have been his crowning moment on 16, Cabrera went up to him gave him a thumbs up and said nice job, I thought that was cool.
Perry totally let the moment get to him. No bogeys for 22 straight holes and only 4 all week going into 17. I feel horrible for him, this more than likely was his last shot.
Curious there are no comments on the absolute luck that Cabrera was blessed with on the first playoff. On his second shot he was aiming right, way right, out of the woods then hits a tree and gets the bounce of a lifetime. Without that, Perry wins it with a par on the first playoff.
The show put on by Tiger and Phil for the first 16 holes was amazing. The meltdown by both on 17 and 18 was just as amazing.

[beachbum]

Phil was making a storybook run until.......

[TheGameHHH]

Phil was making a storybook run until.......

wasnt just Phil, Tiger was doing the same thing

[A.J.]

I think I jinxed poor Kenny Perry. I said "all he is has to do is par the last two holes and it's his". And then the collapse began. Great finish by Cabrera.

[beachbum]

wasnt just Phil, Tiger was doing the same thing

Yes but I expect it from Tiger and I was rooting for Phil.Tiger doesn't need my help.

[drjoek]

Phil remembered he's Phil

[Snoogans]

seriously. 9 iron into 12 like a douche, then completely pussied off it on 13 cause of 12. Totally cost himself the tourney.

[King Hippos Bandaid]

boy I don't want to Kenny Perry when I play in my league game tonight


seriously in the 1st SD Hole, Cabrera hit a tree, it reminded me of me, how can you both( Campbell and Perry) suck so bad on your approach shot and let him catch up

[Snoogans]

I did miss 12, but I think 15 was his bigger mistake. He eagles that hole and ties for the lead at -11, and I think Perry and Cabrerra start folding earlier.

I know Tiger had a shot too, but Phil was playing incredibly up until 12. Whereas Tiger still was shaking off some rust.

that was just a push on 15 and 17 for phil. 12 and 13 were just stupid ideas. Tiger hit an 8 iron into 12 and phil said to his caddie he was gonna hit a MORE than full 9 iron, then didnt even hit it full and put it in the water with no question. Then on 13, from about 185 coming into a par 5 second shot, he bailed it way long and left cause he was too afraid of the water

[King Hippos Bandaid]

I did set it up, my C List golfers were eligible on Tuesday, then I saw they were not after the fact

I hate to say it, but Snoogans is right. 12 and 13 were the mistakes by Phil. If he pars 12 and birdies 13, thats a 3 stroke difference and 15 isn't the must for eagle it became.

[Snoogans]

he coulda eagles 13 if he wsa even decently aggressive

[epo]

he coulda eagles 13 if he wsa even decently aggressive

Sure...but to expect eagle is pretty crazy. Its like saying that Phil "fucked up" on 15 by only making birdie.

Like you and I talked about yesterday, he should've played safe on 12 and gotten aggressive on 13. That was the tournament for him.

[Snoogans]

yea and he didnt play aggressive on 13. He still birdied it though. We were gettin on him for not even giving eagle a chance.

And before 15 no, but after phil put it 4 feet away, Phil did fuck up by only making birdie on 15

[EliSnow]

Sure...but to expect eagle is pretty crazy. Its like saying that Phil "fucked up" on 15 by only making birdie.

His putt for eagle was four feet away. To expect him to get an eagle would be nuts if it wasnt' for that fact. I think a missed putt like that is a fuck-up.

[PhilDeez]

All the "Phil choked" talk is absurd. He shoots out of his mind the front nine; sure he left some chances on the table, but to say he choked because he didn't shoot a 62 or 63 on the final day of the Masters when he's playing with Tiger and 7 back is crazy.
Sadly, the real choke was Perry. He mentioned it took him 3 years to get over losing the PGA in a playoff back in 96, I would imagine this stings a little more.

you could see him in his interview, while he was very cool about, he just wanted to cry

[Snoogans]

and i dont think phil "choked". He just made a couple of really stupid decisions

[beachbum]

yeah,perry must feel like shit.I don't think Phil pulled the choke I think he just made some bad decisions.Old Phil would have choked.

[boisestate]

It's so great you all are here discussing a game you love. Does Ron like golf? I was at Augusta and saw a guy that looked just like Ron. I didn't go up to him and ask if it was him though. Haha
