TPC Final Round Comments

[ProSpec]

I've been watching the coverage for about a half-an-hour. The greens are QUICK! When/if the wind picks up in the late after noon, there are gonna be some high scores with the green/rough conditions that are present 2day.

 

A prediction: Sergio will have ANOTHER disappointing final round.

With Ernie currently at -7, how funny would it be if he won with the Odyessy White Hot!!??

 

:)

Would be great to see Ernie winning with an Odyssey... Oh man Scotty... Tiger isn't play the way I hoped. And Ames is playing good so far. But he will break down for sure...

[mlamar]

Ernie looking pretty good ... Ames may hold-up under the pressure ...

Greens are running very fast ... Don't forget the Goose, he loves fast greens ie US OPEN !!!

[CSCUP]

Ames does look good but who knows what will happen, this course can eat you alive, just ask Davis or Adam, Bob, and Arron!

[golf_WNC_pro]

Why is Vijay's backswing so flat? It dosnt look normal for him, he is direction is startin to spray a little...

What would be so great about Els winning? Is it fun to see Ames collapse?

 

Ames is going to hold his own. I don't know what it is with people capping on Ames because he got thrashed by Tiger. It's not like Ames played bad that day, he made a ton of pars. TW was on fire that day, nothing Ames could do. Sure, he should not have made the goofy comment, but the media blew it up, TW took advantage and so it goes. It has nothing to do with today.

 

It's not like Ames is a horrible golfer. He almost won this thing four years ago and through no fault of his own the chipping gods decided to crown Perks the winner.

 

Another observation from the TV coverage is Johnny Miller is being just a little harsh on Ames, it's like he is rooting for him to collapse.

Camillo is looking good I bet he makes the masters.

[dannypharvey]

i don't like Ames. if you want to know why then just click his name on the leaderboard on the PGA tour's website.

 

if any Brits are reading this then you will understand this comment, Ames belongs at Aintree or Cheltenham.

[wholeinwon]

What are you talking about??

[dannypharvey]

look at a pic of Ames and then do a google image search for Aintree, then you will find out why i think he belongs there. sorry to Ames fans but his face just annoys me!

[wholeinwon]

You think he looks like a horse!?!

Please don't tell me your British and making fun of Ames' teeth!!!!

[dannypharvey]

i certainly am. and no everyone in England doesn't wear pin stripe suits and bowler hats and carry a black umbrella, drink cups of tea all day, get a red London bus to work, say old chap and tallyho to everyone, speak like or look like Prince Charles and i'm not a chimney sweeper!

[wholeinwon]

OK?? wow is it that time of the month??

 

settle down, i hope he wins because hes Canadian and I am too, I don't like him as a golfer at all.

 

Settle down...chap.

[dannypharvey]

he's from Trinidad & Tobago but lives in Canada. that's what the old boy on the telly said. besides that though, the way the back nine is playing for some it could still be anyone yet!

[wholeinwon]

He's Canadian....had his citizenship and lives in Canada...calls himself Canadian.

 

Pretty Big Blowup if he blows it now with a 4 shot lead...

[suwii]

Ames certainly isn't having a breakdown

he'll probably take it away now...

disappointing round for sergio

And thankfully Brits don't all post like you do. There is no need to monopolize a thread with such nonsense. Comment on his game if you will, even comment on anything he says to the press, but the horse comments are not needed here. Thank you.

When you review the past winners in the last five years, it becomes more apparent to me why this tournament is not in the same category as the four major tournaments.

 

The course is good but not great. The course design creates numerous lucky bounces, and it allows average PGA tour players to win the event with more frequency than occurs in the four majors.

 

Recent Past Winners

 

Craig Perks: 2002

 

Fred Funk: 2005

 

Stephen Ames: 2006

I noticed that too, looks laid off and flatter than what I remember. :)

[sergizmo]

I just can't believe the number of balls in the water. It's a very tough course but there were some major nerves showing by a lot of players.

[TM golf guy]

Go Camilo! Man Im really impressed with this kid. He has kicked off this year really well. I look for a win from him this year. GO GATORS!!!

I would argue the British Open and PGA are lesser majors than the Master's or US Open. The only "crap" winners of those 2 in recent memory are Mike Weir and Jim Furyk.

[Jacpar]

Ames 's brilliant performance today was something.. even Johnny Miller was impressed by his shotmaking putting and attitude. Good day for Canada, trinidad , britain .. all in the same guy. Great golf M. Ames.

Don't forget Portugal - his mom is from there - dad from England.

 

Great play by Ames. A fantastic round on a course that punishes you mentally.

 

Unbelievable display of mental control and a swing that held up under pressure.

 

Fun to watch.

[auggiewest]

nice round garcia. i bet him +135 against Singh in rd 4.

Singh shoots 77 and i still lose 200$

Garcia is a choker

[dannybsj]

jim furyk is awesome hes always in the hunt. If he ever picks up some distance it will be tiger who?

[ProSpec]

 

Garcia is a choker

That's a pretty brutal way of putting it but it is absolutely the case. If the grey matter between his ears ever catches up to his raw athletic ability he'll be dangerous. At this point their camp might be best served if daddy/coach goes to university and gets a masters in psych. and starts working on the real prob. I hate to be so brutal and negative. It just hurts to see a guy with such amazing skills crumble in the final round again and again.

I like Jim Furyk but your comment is a real stretch. Among other things, Furyk doesn't have the short game that Tiger has.
