You guys hear that?

[QMany]

Silence.

Tiger haters and Adam Scott fanboys are nowhere to be found.

[two putt shakur]

WOW!!

[QMany]

BOOM! Bomb for Big Philly Style!

[walterjay25]

Phil!!

Phil drops a bomb to end the match!!!

[QMany]

2 & 1 is generous way of putting that match.

I would call it 3 & 1.

[Golfnutgalen]

Best putt all day!

[nochct1]

Can someone explain to me what is so bad about Tiger's game? I haven't watched every shot, but it seems like he's hitting a lot of greens, and his short game looks good. Sure he's missed some putts, but everyone has missed some putts this week. With difficult fast greens players are going to be more cautious.

So please, can someone point out all of tiger's really poor shots. why do people think he should sit? what's he done to really bring down his partners? have johnson and stricker played really well only to have their matches ruined by woods?

The first day, Stricker did not play very well. Not that Tiger played his best, but Stricker really crapped the bed.

The second day, Tiger and Johnson actually didn't play horribly, but Baddeley and Day played well (as a team).

This translates to being 0-2 and all the Tiger haters coming out of the woods.

He seems to be hitting the ball well, he just doesn't have that magic he used to have with the putter.

tiger fan here, and while he hasn't played like dog, he has made next to nothing putting wise. he has had several opps and compared to the rest of the field he has made less than his share. and i have watched pretty much 99% of his rounds.

Yep, Bubba and Webb are a solid due to open the proceedings. Really hope that Webb Simpson makes the Ryder Cup team as I want to see the Europeans face a very strong pairing in these two.

If not WEB HAS TO BE A CAPTAIN PICK... Best combo I seen in a LONG time. Euro's shakin in their boots!


I am upset Toms is sitting, but maybe the old guys need a seat. That is cool. LEt them rest up for tomorrow.

[tyorke1]

He snubbed me at royal montreal,he jumped the ropes off the putting green to avoid people wanting autographs , I looked right at him and just said have a great day Gregg, not even a blink, spare me, a nod would have been fine, he is a wanker, luckily only aussie I have never liked,

You're upset b/c someone didn't make eye contact with you? What was the point of saying "have a great day greg?" As an adult do you really get upset when a pro athlete doesn't acknowledge you? Just go out and watch the golf, leave the other stuff to the kids.

[Golfnutgalen]

That 4th green is diabolical. Tiger's shot looked like it would stop within 3 feet instead of 11! Well, he was the only guy in the group to even hit the green.

[SafariThomas]

Somebody get Tiger his ol' Scotty

[C. Spackler]

Damn, Tiger's burning edges all day.

[C. Spackler]

Is it just me but does he appear to be spending allot of time over the putts? I mean painfully long.

[KYMAR]

Anyone else watching the SKY sports feed suspect that Craig Perks is in the booth wearing Team International face paint, a Greg Norman "shark" hat signed by all the players and waving a Aussie flag attached to the grip end of a replica Adam scott [s]boat oar[/s] er "putter"

"Come on, come on, COME ON!!! Awwww not gonna catch that second slope." said with Heartbreak, not mere observation.

P.S. I get it it's "his" team, and I actually think he is a very good analyst.Just not hiding, nor attempting to hide, his desired outcome well.

I think it was the latest issue of Golf Digest, but they actually ranked Tiger in the top 5 slowest on the green. But I think it is more than that this week. With the speed and treachery of these greens, mixed in with the wind and rain, I can see where a 2 footer turns into a 6 footer and a 6 footer makes you pee yourself a little.

[ClarkGrswld4]

I am EXTREMELY impressed with Tiger's ball striking this week...but man that putting......

[swbyps]

17 wood! LOL I'm on the floor! Feherty is insane

[DriveIt"N"3Putt]

Tiger is the two putt champ, a one putt has to happen sooner or later doesn't it?
