alphseeker Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Like to see Speith pull another one out but if it's not him then I hope Dustin wins after his collapse last month. I wouldn't mind at all however if Jason Day wins. I like all three of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alphseeker Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Paul Azinger had some zingers for Tiger this morning:“It’s hard to watch the greatest player of this generation be a middle of the pack hack.”“Here’s a stat for you: Tiger Woods is 21 over par for his last 45 holes at major championships.”“You almost want to say, ‘Who are you and what have you done to Tiger Woods?’“Everyone wanted to swing like Tiger. Except Tiger.”“Nobody needs to tell Tiger what to think, they need to remind him to think” 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goose Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Back. I gotta get over the Tiger mess and enjoy the rest. Kisner was doing well but has made the turn inward and we see what happens then. With that said Tiger headed for another 80. I just don't get it. When Payne died (who's golf I lived and died with) I took up Tiger as he was on the rise at the very same time and he has been "the game" to me. I gotta let it go. Nicklaus was my first golfing hero and I named my son Nicklaus after him ( he obviously meant alot to me as the game did when I played) but when he faded he did so gracefully and just got old. This is something altogether different.Back to the golf. Apologies for the rant... :)I understand. yes, it's hard to watch someone you've admired for many years not be at the top of their game anymore. Yeah man, this is difficult to watch. It boggles my mind that someone so good at a certain sport can play so so poorly. Nicklaus will always be my guy because he was such an amazing driver of the ball and putter not to mention such a class, class guy but I really wanted to see Tiger break his record but I feel confident now saying that won't happen.It seemed inevitable not that many years ago but now I agree it will never happen. Being 39 I haven't given up on him finding "it" at some point and winning another Masters possibly. As my wife so wisely said to me when all of this started (the personal sh*t etc) karma is a bitch...He's obviously broken physically. And when you're playing with discomfort or pain, and you're pressing, it means disaster. What Tiger accomplished in his youth was amazing, but how he accomplished it - with a swing of such force - may have eliminated the possibility of longevity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alphseeker Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 (edited) I knew it. Makes me sick to my stomach to be honest...Blechhh. +4. He should really hang the game up.He walks away right now he's still the second best player ever!!! I remember hearing Faldo last year say once you get the yips it's over. Tiger may win one or two no name tournaments if he stays on but he will never win another major. Can't imagine he enjoys these press conferences lately Edited July 16, 2015 by alphseeker 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Ahhh....a nice sunny day in ScotlandAnd so green. The pros are tearing this place up. With soft greens and no wind, this place plays like a muni for these guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's so hard to do, so rare, and so beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last I checked the leaderboard he is ahead of 8 players and one of them is the great champion Nick Faldo and another is former Open Championship winner and big :rush: fan Mark Calcavecchia... :cheers: and :sarcastic: Edited July 16, 2015 by Narps 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RushCanuck Posted July 17, 2015 Author Share Posted July 17, 2015 Round 2 is currently suspended. They are removing water from the course. They plan to restart it soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RushCanuck Posted July 17, 2015 Author Share Posted July 17, 2015 Round 2 has resumed. There was a delay, so the groups are just teeing off. Not too many players out there yet. Round 2 probably won't finish today. Mark Calcavechia at 9 over is getting more air time than he should right now until more guys start playing, LOL.During the peak of the storm, the rain was coming down sideways, they say.

Narps Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Just got up and it appears they are about 3 hours or so behind is that right? Now I can really watch all day... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I can really watch all day...Yes there was 3 hour delay. Day and Woods to tee off 1:10 pm our time now it seems. That would be 6:10 pm Scottish time. They say it stays light out till 10 pm their time, so if my math is correct with all of this, their round may continue into tomorrow... I think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you cheering for anyone in particular?Bubba... just to screw with Narp. :) Nah, not anyone in particular, there are a number of great golfers, I have never been one to root for anyone in particular. I was a big Greg Norman fan until I actually met him - he was one of the biggest assholes I have ever met. I guess Jordan for the story, I like rooting for "stories" more than anything when it comes to most non-NFL related sporting events :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
