***The Open** David Duvall circles his 2019 calendar for a 2 day vacation (1 Viewer)

I won't be watching a playoff.

You’ll watch until a playoff?

Got stuff to do man.

 

[Ramblin Wreck]

Got stuff to do man.

It's over now

 

[hagmania]

It's ovah!

 

[AAABatteries]

I have to say Speith shooting 4 over may be the most surprising round of the day.  I really thought he looked good to win it today.

Spieth just doesn't have it.  He's starting down the Justin Leonard path imo.

WAT?

 

[Joe Mammy]

Spieth just doesn't have it.  He's starting down the Justin Leonard path imo.

I doubt he'll be joining Hunter Mahan in Barcelona next year.

Lotta dumb takes in here....this might be the dumbest.

 

[AAABatteries]

He’s about to turn 25 and already has 3.  I’m guessing culdeus may be trolling us.

If you're calling the Tiger takes dumb you don't live in reality.

 

[flranger]

Well that was fun

 

[JuniorGong]

Spieth’s sister give him a haircut?

 

[General Malaise]

Thought you had stuff to do.  Not done gargling Tiger's nards?

 

[culdeus]

Engraver had to drop to 6 pt font

Unfortunately I'm on the waiting list. :(

The mellinnial love affair with Tiger is helping me understand the popularity of the Kardashians.

@General Malaise sorry but Tiger is the biggest story today  

Finally checked the other thread.  Now it makes more sense.  Carry on.

???  I get you hate the dude but your dismissal of his trajectory post comeback is weird. He’s playing like a top-15 guy in the world right now. 

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

How often do you think the Americans that finished 2nd will get their names mentioned by American sports shows this week? Maybe half of the shows begrudgingly mention their names before launching into 3 segments of Tiger talk?

 

[General Malaise]

I made you an offer.  Take the bid or counter.  Has nothing to do with emotion...well, maybe yours.  I just don't find him fascinating. 

 

[Mile High]

Sure. If you don't think he's the story you're lying to yourself.

Not a big golf or a Tiger fan. I watched today because of Tiger was in contention. 

 

[dal_boys_phan]

Ditto.

 

[General Malaise]

Well gosh, I just hope the sport survives when he's no longer playing then. 

 

[Otis]

Say what you want, ratings are off the charts when he’s in contention in comparison to when he’s not. 

I get that it’s cool to be contrarian, but it is what it is.

Yes nobody watched it before he emerged and nobody will watch it when he's gone.

Your takes on this are kind of weird GB.

 

[General Malaise]

Your takes on this are kind of weird GB.

What's weird is the lionaztion of a guy past his prime in a sport littered with way better players.  Dunno....not a star####er, so don't really care about a 42 year old who abuses drugs and drives drunk. 

I mean I'm 45, abuse lot's of substances but even I know now how to order Lyft.

Yeah, like I said, weird takes.  I mean, if Peyton Manning or Kobe or someone like that came back and started playing great it would be a huge story.  

I get you not liking him though - I had similar feelings about some other athletes - and he does seem like he’s probably a jerk and has done some bad stuff.

I find it stranger that people still worship him as if he's the only thing that matters to golf.  He's not. He's an awful person and a mediocre PGA golfer now....i don't care about what he does, why do you?

 

[flranger]

I'm glad you stay out of the NBA thread

Yeah, if we’re going to stop watching sports that star bad character guys, enjoy bowling or whatever.  

 

[Long Ball Larry]

Would there even be any tiger talk the past couple pages if gm wasn’t ranting about it...

 

[hagmania]

GM certainly inspired me to antagonize him.

 

[General Malaise]

Yeah, I don't.  Will make sure to redouble my efforts there.

 

[General Malaise]

Golf is full of guys that don't abuse drugs, cheat on their wives or drive impaired.  Want me to find you some?

No, I'm a pretty big deal around here.

confirmed 

Tiger gets back into the Top 50, qualifying for the last WGC Bridgestone to be played at Firestone South

He's won there 7-8 times?

First time he's finished this high in a major in 5 years

Heck, its only the 5th time he's made the cut in any major in the last 5 yeas

He's fun to watch & I like rooting for him

 

[JuniorGong]

Xander Schauffele currently 50-1 to win the PGA Championship, seems like great value for him.
