This course favors Tiger Woods because there's more room to miss. He can win.

problem is, he sucks. biggest money burner since the "Chalk Incinerator" JDB

I'm sure you already know this, but a golfer that can shoot in the 60's on any given day, is closer to the moon than they are of "sucking" at the sport.

I suck at it, you suck at it, everybody sucks at golf.....it doesn't matter how good you are, you still suck. why do you think people play ? they have a hard time believing they could suck at anything.

FWIW
Adam Scott.....$100-$2200
Martin Kaymer ..$50- $1600
Steve Lowry .....$30- $1200

Tiger is good sometimes. His effort at the Masters was fine, although his putting took a dive in recent years.

His ballstriking at two weeks ago was outstanding, but again he failed to make putts.

At St. Andrews, what really helps is that he knows the course and how everything breaks. He doesn't need to study as much, like young Jordan Speith does.

Sergio Garcia (what the hell, he has to win a major at some point)

tiger is +3 and he missed a 16" straight putt

I used H.English, S. Garcia, C. Hoffman, B. Koepka, K. Na, and C. Schwartzel on DK, but hoping Splief wins the 3rd leg.

Tiger can't putt at all, hard to watch.

How about David Lingmerth? 29-40 for a 69

What a pleasure to watch on ESPN after watching FOX SPORTS coverage of LPGA last week. Whew !!!

FTFY, Tom.

Tiger=done. Please walk away from the game, Tiger.

Honestly, he didn't miss much - just had absolutely zero concept of distance there...And his putting continues to be absent from his game. But he only missed like 2 shots. Everything else was either woefully long or woefully short.

Woefully long and short are missed shots for players of that caliber. His swing is all over the place when his shots are that inconsistent. He's either too steep or too shallow. And forget even talking about his head position throughout the swing. His swing is in shambles today and his mental place on course is even worse.

And he is playing timid using irons while others using drivers. for all intents and purposes he was done after he dunked his second shot. You could see it on his face that "**** , here we go again" look

It's a shame he's fallen so much since the earlier part of his career. Truly one of the greatest sports icons of my childhood is now just an 'average joe' for lack of a better term.


but his back 9 today was hardly the work of a golfer deemed "done". In fact, it was better than most of what Ive been seeing thus far. He easily could have packed it in ( or better yet, clenched his lower back and withdrawn lol ) but he stayed the course and shot pretty well on the back 9 after an abysmal front. Granted, he'll likely miss the cut, and is a shell of his former self, but it must be nice to be a shell of your former self and still be better than 99% of the rest of the world.

Zach Johnson's first 10 holes couldnt have gone better. WOW.

He will have great rounds but the consistency over 4 days will be difficult to get back. He has played good rounds but the next day he shoots 10 strokes higher. He is mentally not where he needs to be, not sure if that will ever come back.

To Kevin's point, I'm not sure if he retires how that would effect his endorsement deals. Nike isn't going to pay 8 figures to someone out of the game.

he should re learn the game left handed.....nice fresh start. No bad habits. he has the ability. he has no idea where the ball is going. that Sally ass putt on 18 was disgraceful.

Tom Watson shoots 76 another guy from Stanford named Tiger Woods also shoots 76

idiot !

How did you get odds on somebody not even in the field?
I think you mean Shane Lowry;)

Steve / Shane ? He's a stiff , whatever his name is
ESPN is way better at golf than FOCKS

Steve is a long time player on PGA Tour, now playing Champions Tour.

For some odd reason I have a vivid memory of Steve Lowery "cold-necking" a 2 iron OB right in the final round of the '95 Open Championship. And that's hard to do on this course.

Interested in GPK's read on this mornings proceedings. If you haven't heard they started play and Koepka was on 11th green. To make a long story short he was unable to play a shot due to the ball moving. Meanwhile play continued behind him and it came to a point where 4 groups stacked up on the hole before play was finally suspended. Dustin Johnson played 8 shots during this period and if memory serves me I think he lost 1 to par.

1. Why did they even start play. They know full well which hole would have the biggest problem. Why would they not test that the ball would not roll uncontrollably when placed on the green.

2. Why did they let play continue behind him when they recognized he was struggling to be able to play a shot. Why did they not suspend play after a few minutes until it was proven a shot could be played on the hole.

Man they are killing this course this morning.

st andrews, with no wind, is like a cheap hooker.:) this is gonna be cool to watch it play out

The Aussies came to play this weekend!

Digging my Leischman pick today!

Well done!!!

Thanks Tom.
