2019 US Open

Hmm Tiger you've come up short on like 80% of your approach shots the past two days. Maybe time for an extra club.

[Cwebb]

Looks like they've got the 18th hole cut in a pretty accessible spot

[OldBridge]

Tiger just looks like he wants to play a quick round and get out of there. Can't say I blame him. It's like he's the main attraction in a zoo/just there to please the fans. Not like he needs the money, so what is there to play for? Pride?

Pride. Don’t mess with the pride of a man, once divorced, in his 40’s.

This has been one of my concerns about Big Cat since he won The Masters. He seems like he doesn’t have anything else to prove. Honesty, he’s better off showing up 10-12 times a year. It’ll prolong his health.

Or just the cold weather. Ball doesn't fly as far and he's probably swinging a couple MPH slower.

A free round at Pebble Beach?

it's good to have ya back, happy fathers day. Hope all is well.

Tiger is definitely in pain. Those deep exhales aren't related to the not so perfect shots. I'm not sure if being in the lead would help the pain or not. He's using the kinesio tape again in his neck.

 

Personally I'll try to enjoy every tournament he plays in because who knows how many more that will be before he's just had enough and calls it quits.

[MountainGoat]

Tiger ain’t right. Something’s going on.

So why not Brooks Koepka. Not saying I know anything either way, but the growth of his head alone recalls a prime Barry Bonds.

> Not being funny here though a flat-back 315lbs Max is da** impressive!!! As a 6’2”, 223lb HS senior LB(1979), I flat backed 325lbs, as the D1 programs looked for a size/strength ratio of 100lbs+ over one’s body weight flat-back bench press for all linemen, TE’s, FB’s(yea, we had these dinosaurs? back then?) & LB’s. WR’s & RB(half backs) were excluded.

It’s damn impressive for sure! I played HS football with some big dudes for back in the early 90s. Our QB was 6’ 175 lbs and benched with the lineman. Saw him bench 315 in the weigh room, then I went back over to my kiddie weight set.. Really really insane. He was a fantastic player and team leader, and needed up walking on and starting at 3B for UCLA. But I remember sitting in my history class (head coach was my teacher) and he was on a phone call with the KU football HC. He specially said to him that our QB benched with the lineman. Always thought that was pretty cool. Everyone respected the sh*t out of him.

Fox has the most boring golf crew. For anyone that is not really into golf, they would fall asleep listening to these guys. They literally don't have on exciting or critical announcer.. Faxon and Zinger - what bore. Guys if you want to announce be a little critical, like Faldo or Miller. There whole crew is monotone and dry....

He's on pace to only play that many events this year and he's had a ton of rust on his game pretty much the whole season. Limited schedule is the right move for his health, no question about it. But I don't think we will see him play at a consistently high level moving forward.

[00steven]

Tiger is probably stiff, tired, and cold. He just came off a late run and nice top 10 at the Memorial so I’m not going to panic at this time.

If a person is not into Golf, why would they even tune in? The telecasts are setup for the casual golfer too much as it is, we don't need even more of it. Personally, mic up the players and caddies, and shuttle ALL the announcers. They aren't necessary. This is TV, not radio.

 

[TreyWingbat]

Tiger looks anguished... like his favorite Perkins' waitress cheated on him or something.

Be interesting to see what happens at the British and the weather. It would appear he just wants to post his score and get back to the east coast. He could be pulling driver at this point but I don’t think he even wants to hit out of the rough.

 

[OldBridge]

It'd be cool for Hovland to crack the top 10

[ebrasmus21]

Tiger with the potential WD at the turn?

[cardoustie]

I'd like Adam Scott to drop a 62 on the leaders

[redfirebird08]

El Tigre gonna post 80+ today if he keeps going with the "easy" bogies.

[Darth Putter]

He's almost out of "easy" holes.

[BobMorris]

It's the look of someone who knew he was out of it before he even teed off....and going even more south.

Yeah, time to pack up the jet and go wheels up ; )

 

 

[2putttom]

Prugh attempting to hurt himself....

[BobMorris]

I sure hope not. These lunkheads at Fox will have the cameras following him out of town, and we'll be forced to watch the rest of the tournament tape delay'd on FS1 tomorrow. ;)

[GFish]

Guess you miss the whole point. I have been watching and playing golf for 48 years - a golf addict and trust me when I say this is the most boring group of announcers. You are in the minority, as everyone I know feels the same way about Fox and announcers. I and others I know, that are also golf addicts, like listening to the good announcers over the years too, like Venturi, Miller, Nantz, McCord, Feharty and on and on. They help make the telecast even better. Not sure what this has to do with radio either. Golf announcers are not play by play like PGA Tour radio. :)

 

Good announcers could only liven this tournament, as so far, it definitely is not a US Open feel too it. Maybe it will later today, but so far it has been blah. No weather, no wind, greens slower than normal and 11 under winning. That is not US Open golf....

If the course went back to the clubhouse at 9 he may consider it, but I think he’d only withdraw if he was truly hurt and it looks more like he’s just uncomfortable.
