He knows how to say "Get away from me with that steak knife" in at least seven.

 

JB, that drives me bendy. Every other tie, they order the players based on their position on the course. Tiger's in the pack, and he shoots to the top. It's not right.

That being said, if Angel Cabrera wants to get laid tonight, he can come over to my house. And I'm not talking about his humping my wife.

 

There's gonna be one helluva party in Argentinia tonight.

 

Really? Is Cabrera from Argentina? I feel like the announcers would have mentioned that at some point.

 

Apparently not because someone here couldn't figure out why he didn't speak English very well.

 

Pretty sure dreunc was using the invisible blue font there.

 

Helluva tournament. Oakmont proves it doesn't have to all 475-yard beasts to be a challenge. If it had been, Tiger wins going away - he really did grind the best. He just couldn't make birdies, and it cost him.

Here's hoping the Torrey Pines open provides players the same scoring chances. I honestly don't know how they intend to set it up, but 18 should remain a par 5, and a legitimate eagle opportunity on the last hole.

 

Agreed, Alma. I loved those driveable par-4s. They're the reason Furyk didn't win. Great course for thinking.

 

And I guess I forgot to use it too. Can't quite get the hang of the colour scheme around here.

 

And as for Tiger at Carnoustie...uh, Tiger wins the British Opens when they're played at St Andrews (an embarrassment at this point) and glorified muni tracks. That's not to say he won't win at Carnoustie - it's the hardest course in the world, so it's hard to favor anyone - but I wouldn't think of him first.

(Note when I say Carnoustie is the hardest course, consider that it's played at a 71, not a 70, its greens are rolled at 10 or 11, and if it they were rolled to a 13 or 14, like Oakmont, players could struggle to break 300 for the week.)

Tiger is easily the odds on favorite to win - and win easily - at Torrey Pines next year, though. The course is made for him, and he's played it 200 times.

 

Well first you have to be able to spell color correctly. ;D

 

You're right. My mistake. Thanks for the correction and vastly more knowledgeable elaboration, Key.
