Golf 2010 PGA Tour Season

[mattys123]

I love how the Yanky commentators are pissed that 2 europeans are winning, they keep saying they are "lucky" to even be in the field.

 

[AG]

This could have been an awesome round if the big 3 came to play.

 

[damochandler]

He hasn't won it yet. Goosen in 2001 comes to mind when someone is about to close out the us open on the last hole

tiger is getting his game back and i would be backing him at st andrews

 

[mattys123]

Ernie did me proud, outright 3rd and a nice little collect for finsihing 3rd, got him at $26 e/w before the tourney started.

 

[AG]

McDowell deserved it over the 4 days.

Who was that guy tugging at his jumper? Looked like an idiot.

 

[Cousin Jed]

McDowell got a good writeup pre tourny as a sleeper in some of the golf websites I read, probably was good odds too.

Europeans finally break their 40 odd year drought. Maybe that means we are due at Augusta soon

Johnson shoots 82 and still managed to crack the top 10.

 

[damochandler]

The europeans were due and good on him.

I think tiger would be happy with this week. He went from spraying it every where to playing controlled golf. I think he is looking forward to playing at st andrews and he looks like he has got look in his eye back

A guy I played with on Saturday backed him at $81 pre-tournament.

A nice way to start the week.

That thought would send shivers down the spine of every man on the planet married to or the father of a 'hottie'.

hahaha

 

[buck bundy]

Paul Goydos... 59.

 

[dont bowl there]

Whats the bet the bloke will shoot 75+ in round 2? Amazing that Stricker shoots 60 and isn't the round 1 leader.

 

[AG]

These guys are probably my favourite commentators in sport. Easy to listen to.

 

[AG]

Daly -5 under through 9. Nicely dressed as well.

 

[Cousin Jed]

You know conditions are soft, easy and no wind. Americans all over the leaderboard.

 

[mattys123]

Wow, what a second round at the Open.

Felt sorry for McIlroy, an 80 after leading the Open, ouch.

Louis out in front, by 5 no less.

Will be interesting to see how the weather hits over the final 2 days.

I would love it to be nasty, makes for such a demanding test.

And also great to see the "old girl" that is St Andrews has some bite in here, under the right conditions. Still the standout golf course on the planet.

 

[buck bundy]

Louis is no flash in the pan, and if conditions are decent over the final two days he'll be hard to chase down.

 

[dont bowl there]

I rekon Westwood will take this out, looked very solid.

Too easy.

 

[Cousin Jed]

Stuart Appleby shoots 59 to win

 

[AG]

That's a good way to find form. Hopefully this sparks him back into a good finish to the season.

 

[The Octopus]

Awesome achievement and not trying to take anthing away from it, but,, it seems a 59 is treated the same regardless of whether par is 70, 71, 72.
Should this be the case?
The five 59's couldnt all have been on Par 70's like Apples?

 

[matt_897]

11 under par is still a carzy round but eyah i agree with what you are saying, a 59 on a par 72 is a much more larger accomplishment than on a par 70.

Great time for Apples to find hsi form, he needed that win badly. Couldn't be happier for him.

 

[buck bundy]

Not only was it a par 70 but it was just over 7000 yards with fairly wide fairways and very soft greens.

When you've got professionals hitting wedges into 10 or 11 of the greens 11 under is not the miracle round the media is making it out to be. Still a bloody good round, just not the historic round people associate with "that number".

Hell, if he had putted better on the back nine he could easily have shot 57 or 56... now that would have been something to really write home about.

EDIT: The fact blokes like DA Points and JB Holmes came very close to breaking 60 in the same week puts the historical context of the round into perspective.

 

[superfreak]

I disagree. The higher the par of the course, the easier it is for todays pro to shoot a low number (conditions permitting of course).

Most pros reach the majority of par 5's in two. The more par 5's, the more eagles and birdies. To do it on a shorter course (less 5's), means that his iron play was superb and he made putts. Anyone can birdie a par 5 when you are putting for a three!
