RushCanuck Posted August 9, 2015 Author Share Posted August 9, 2015 Way to go Shane! That was some great golf he played, and he's not a gym rat either. Kind of reminds me of when Darren Clarke won this event a few years ago. It's a great win for the country of Ireland, too.another 54 hole lead squandered by Furyk...Onto Glory's last shot.I didn't hear them calling it glory's last shot yesterday. Are they still calling it that in lieu of the Fedex Cup playoffs?... My bad... It's not glory's last shot any more. It's the last major of the season... Onto the last major.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not trying to be a jerk or anything. Sorry my friend... You are never a jerk in my books, my friend. And thanks for questioning it. I am behind the times calling it glorys last shot, just like I was with the British Open... Being an old f@rt is impacting my concentration lately... Sigh.I am thinking one of the long hitters may win next week.. I am cheering for someone but he will need to limit the mistakes... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narps Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Just a question for the panel. How is John Daly and Mark Brooks in the field this week? If you won this thing a generation ago but can't play a lick at this point you still get in? .... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typically when you win a major you get exempt into all of them for a number of years (5 I think but i could stand corrected) and that is why people like Ben Curtis and Shaun Micheel got to play in these things even when they had no game in the second, third and forth years after they won. Of course you win the Masters you play forever or at least till you are a pretty old man anymore. They changed that a few years ago so the oldest of them aren't taking up a spot and out there shooting in the 90's (example Charles Coody for years). I will believe you however on this one... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can accept Rich Beem still having a spot this week since his win was more recent, but John Daly seems excessive in my opinion... Oh well, maybe we get to see some loud pants, haha.On a different topic, we have a PGA championship thread already started by LIX. Should we use that one this week? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They changed that a few years ago so the oldest of them aren't taking up a spot and out there shooting in the 90's (example Charles Coody for years). I will believe you however on this one... Exemptions for Major winners... Tour Cards: Currently, the PGA Tour gives a five-year exemption to all major winners, while the European Tour gives a ten-year exemption. The PGA: In line with the other majors, winning "the PGA" gives a golfer several privileges which make his career much more secure, if he is not already one of the elite players of the sport. PGA champions are automatically invited to play in the other three majors (Masters Tournament, U.S. Open, and The Open Championship) for the next five years, and are exempt from qualifying for the PGA Championship for life. They also receive membership on the PGA and European Tours for the following five seasons and invitations to The Players Championship for five years.  The Open: Invitations to the other three majors for the next five years and exemption to the Open until age 60.  US Open: U.S. Open champions are automatically invited to play in the other three majors (the Masters, The Open Championship (British Open), and the PGA Championship) for the next five years, as well as The Players Championship, and they are exempt from qualifying for the U.S. Open itself for 10 years. U.S. Open winners receive automatic invitations to three of the five senior majors once they turn 50; they receive a five-year invitation to the U.S. Senior Open and a lifetime invitation to the Senior PGA Championship and Senior British Open. The Masters: Masters champions are automatically invited to play in the other three majors (the U.S. Open, The Open Championship, and the PGA Championship (except for amateur winners unless they turn pro within the five-year period)) for the next five years, and earn a lifetime invitation to the Masters. They also receive membership on the PGA Tour for the following five seasons and invitations to The Players Championship for five years. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RushCanuck Posted August 14, 2015 Author Share Posted August 14, 2015 I predict this week Jason Day breaks that barrier and wins his first major -I agree. After the vertigo at the U.S. open and the near miss at the Open, I hope he's paid his dues and will emerge with that big trophy...Btw, we are hanging out in the PGA championship thread this week if you are wondering why it's quiet here.

Disembodied Spirit Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 I'm rooting for Jason Day everyone else needs to step off. Although Matt Jones shooting from the beer tent, Golf needs more of that 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This course should be good for Tiger. Lot's of 2 irons off the tees and only 2 or 3 drivers needed if he chooses to. He hit it good today for sure. I will be out there early tomorrow as he is going off the 10th at 7:50. It's been raining and the course is very soft. The scores are gonna be low...

Narps Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Day one was incredible. One of the greatest most exciting days I have ever had that was not related to my family or children. Huge crowd that seemed to grow and grow as the round progressed. Just unreal. If he keeps this up (which he just might given the style of course Sedgefield is) this place will be a madhouse by Sunday. Met a nice lady (originally from Germany) on the bus on the way to the course and we followed Tiger all day together and plan to do the same over the next 3 rounds. This is really the "therapy"I have been needing... :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
