Round 3: AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am

Whitney Houston is dead. Don’t care. Phil and Tiger is must see tv.

Can’t wait! I wouldn’t mind if the coverage only stayed on Phil and Tiger.

heck of a game.. and the winner wins the cup..forget the first pair…

right you are austin. that’s why they need to have their own private tour along with some hand picked stooges bankrolled by their rich arab buddies. then you can watch them all you want.

It will be an incredible day guys. The champion will be undefinitely in this group and is sir Phil M, the most loved inside the PGA. He only had a good day and is leaving all his birides to suprise Tiger tomorrow in his face. Remember, tomorrow will be one of those days that u wont forget for time in this unique course. Enjoy

Wish there was a way to watch the final round via live streaming over net, there is no other possibility from here in the Nordics

well at least the networks will have to let us see phil a little bit,cause if they do not all the tiger fans will cry. should be a great match!!!!

For all the haters out there who say people are tired of always seeing Tiger…..Check out the Monday TV rating for this one!! Please don’t use the “they’re only tuning in because it’s Phil excuse” or the “poeple will watch becasue they have a chance to see a first-time champion” excuse. People tune in because they want to see if ONE OF the greatest golfers this fine game has ever seen can get back to greatnees, having to overcome some personal issues and a ton of injuries. It just so happens that it does not hurt that he will be going head to head with with someone who SHOULD have 7 majors by now….Phil. GO TIGER!!

I think Tiger has the edge on Phil over the years, but I am still rooting for Phil. GO PHIL!!!

HOPE MCILROY COMES THRU TOMORROW; he certainly didn’t look like this great superstar most people are predicting… he can’t afford anymore crashes on his resume. hate to see it effect his love live as well… If he can’t perform under pressure maybe caroline will be taking a look at tiger. he’s single and there were good reports about his performances outside the course. he is very lucky westwood can’t putt or this tourny would be over. cheers.

Mcilroy will never be known as the best: the 4 shot lead & MORE IMPORTANTLY 82 final round will never leave him. that being said lets give him 20 majors… whats the cv say; he beat the past his prime old tiger woods {as many have stated} but wait lets leave tiger out of the equasion and look at the rest of the opposition, keegs ricky spider day ishy cauley sneds manaserro bubba kim bae mahan. surely you don’t want yo name watney or justin after there failures allready.I clearly remember about 5 years ago everyone was wondering how many majors scott would win I’LL leave it up to you guys to look that one up. now that we have established the so called super players comming thru can anyone match up the past rivalrys of tigers; els phil vj paddy sergio westy goose choi cabrera ect ect with rorys present and future youg guns.I know its a little hypothetical but give it a try . or you could try jacks opposition to rorys it just might stop a few critics from getting ahead of themselves.cheer

Hao, keep trying to convince yourself that tiger is still the man. Most of us know that his time has gone and he will never beat jacks record. Did rory look intimidated? The opposite , he looked like he was having a good time with tiger, no fear for rory or any of the new breed. Would rocky have taken woods out 3 years ago? No chance, tiger has lost the aura and intimidation factor, I hope he plays better this year but don’t expect a young euro or US player to buckle anymore.

Anybody notice Rors wore black and red, again on this Sunday?

Can you spell WANNA BE?

Free wheel it tomorrow? Are you psycho? THE TOURNAMENT IS OVER….

ATTENTION SHOPPERS:

ALL PUMA ITEMS ARE CURRENTLY ON SALE UNTIL 2013…

RICKIE FOWLER MISSES THE CUT AT PEBBLE BEACH.

Repeat: Rors can’t close on Sunday 50/50? possibly.

BettingZone.co.UK….RORS odds are “DRIFTING”, already…take that to the bank.. I am not alone in my saying he’s not the Next Coming.

If Chopra can repeat some of his Aces this week, he will be worth watching?

Rickie should be ready for a victory at the Beach this week.

Woods has lost the “Tiger” in himself since his last win 2 1/2 years ago at the BMW Championship, so don’t expect him top the Leaderboard because he is not 100% healthy yet. The best you can expect from “Meow” Woods this week is to see him past Mickelson in the OWGR rankings when the points are given out on Sunday.

Mark III: SURE, Rickie is really ready for the beach: Attention shoppers: PUMA HAS YEAR LONG SALE ON ALL ITEMS..

RICKY FOWLER DIDN’T MAKE THE CUT.

Keep current before putting something down you have no complete knowledge about.

Riveting golf ahead…

This is the golf the golf duel Phil will be thriving on….there is on doubt that Phil has only been motivated by Tiger in years gone by…

Tiger of course will be motivated to win and show Phil who the boss is….

will be worth watching and hope Tiger fires a stunning round… Go Tiger!!!

Tiger no problem, he will beat Phil

Hijacked Kitty aka TW fav – This isn’t him working his way back…this is his new game. Now that he’s older he can’t play the care free game he once did. He isn’t the only golfer to have made this change…heck most golfers make this change in their game. Like I said, it isn’t a bad thing but the new tiger isn’t the exciting tiger of old. The closest thing to the exciting tiger of old is McIlroy…which is why I find it funny that so many tiger fans dislike McIlroy.

It’s called working his way back into form, Scott. Remember, several health problems take tim to heal, then allowed to practice, then all the 24/7 coverage over 27 months.

Let’s see how you’d do under those conditions, and then have cameras clicking during your swing all the time, both on and off the course.

Realistically, he’s working his way up to his best. Nothing gained, nothing ventured. Also, if you’re waiting for a new red shirt, tell him to see a plastic surgeon and Vidal Sassoon before wearing it again.

Probably not many more such pairing in the future. A tournament within a tournament, will be a classic pairing. Good luck to both players.

I’ve been waiting over 3 years for tiger to get hot with the flat stick…..I think its time for a belly putter for tiger.

So tiger shoots a -2 on what Mr. Wackjob says is the easiest course of the three. Tiger needs to putt better…plain and simple. Tiger doesn’t have the distance control because of his new swing. HE will get close every once in awhile but he won’t be consistent in getting close to the pin. Tiger’s new swing allows him to hit more fairways and hit more greens but he’s lost that distance control. He will finish in the top 10 in most tournaments he plays but he will have a hard time winning if he can’t get the ball close to the pin.

william – he may be 4 off second but 6 off the lead…which means he lost ground on the leaders…..and he lost ground when he was playing the easiest course. I don’t count him out but……

Lee – I don’ hate tiger at all…..I’ve said that several times. I hate the over coverage of tiger and the Tiger Fans that seem to think he is bigger than the sport itself.

X24 hot – Can you see why I call some of these people Bum Chums now? You can be a Tiger Fan and still be a golf fan….you can’t be a bum chum and still be a golf fan.

I fully admit that I’m not a fan of Tiger but I am a fan of what he was able to accomplish and how great he once was. Do I cheer for him….no, but there are only maybe three or four golfers that I truly cheer for.

it’s GO TIME – My favorite player is Mike Weir. Not just because he is Canadian but because I do know him on a personal level. That’s why I cheer for him.

I will also cheer for John Daly when he plays. I’ve met John a few times at Canadian Opens and he has always made time and just chat with me.

I also cheer for Matt McQuillan because I know him on a personal level as well.

I also cheer for any Canadian because I’m proud to be Canadian.

I don’t cheer for or against people I don’t know on some personal level.

Duane – I fully admit I don’t like Tiger “the Person”. I don’t hate tiger “the Golfer”.

I guess the tiger bum chums will have to beat off to a different golfer today.

I have to admit I was surprised to see Phil on the leaderboard, much less near the top. Where has he been all winter? Did I miss something?

Anyway, I’ll be pinned to the barca for the afternoon. The days of ‘baby steps’ are over for Tiger…he needs to take the hill. Phil is used to losing and smiling about it and moving on. Tiger will tear off a pound of his own flesh if he whiffs it from this position.

Go Tiger!!!! Breathe some life back into this prom dance called the PGA Tour!

The hardest thing to do at a young age GAIL, is have consistency in your game, and Rory Mcilroy has consistency in abundance.

Here is Rory Mcilroy’s last 6 Tournament Results Worldwide going back to 2nd October of last year;

Omega Dubai Desrt Cla$$ic – 5th.

Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship – 2nd.

Dubai World Championship – 11th (was ill this week)

UBS Hong Kong Open – 1st.

WGC-HSBC Champions – 4th.

Alfred Dunhill Links Championship – 2nd.

Rory is a total of 82 Under Par (-82) in these 6 tournaments and has made over 1 Million Euros during this time.

He can only get better in the future when he is this good at age 22. He is still growing.

He is at a completely different level to Rickie Fowler your great hope who missed yet another CUT and only beat David Duval by a couple of strokes. He is better than Kyle Stanley, Webb Simpson, Keegan Bradley and all your other young guys you’re “pinning hopes” on. And btw he is YOUNGER than all of these.

What are Tiger Woods results in his last 6 tournaments GAIL? Just wondering. All I will say is it’s no where near as good as Rory’s last 6 starts.

All I know is Mcilroy played with Woods 3 of the 4 rounds in Abu Dhabi and BEAT HIM.

Didn’t you say all last year when he is paired with Woods he would crumble, roll into his shell and bow down and struggle with his game? How wrong you were.

He rolled outta there wearing black and red, and hadd his tail between his legs, ran to his FORMER #1 ranked girlfriend, WHO BY THE WAY, GOT HER #1 RANKING BY NOT WINNINA A MAJOR AT ALL, LIKE LUKE.

All the tennis media coverage mentioned it as soon as she was taken down, and they all thought she just played sooooooooooooo many tournaments, more than a professional should to take care of their heath, and therefore only won smaller events and accumulated the money, and got the ranking, false. See any similarities? Why did Rors play so much the last 6 months of last year? Same thing…thought he’d be forgotten.

Boy he showed everyone today huh?

Really,he played better than Tiger in Abu Dhabi? Only one hole better? Did he win?
Hello….wake up and smell the black funeral roses.

Why do you think he’s playing PGA tour this year…..whine…whine…whine….

…quote from Rors himself…”I like the weather better in the US”….LMFAO

Realist – Rory is playing BOTH the European Tour and PGA Tour this season. Not just the PGA Tour alone as you make out. He is taking advantage of his great game especially at a young age to add some of your US Dollars to his already fast growing Bank Balance.

He is simply playing both Tours as every good player should. Perhaps if your young American players weren’t so scared to try out the European Tour against the World’s best on the toughest courses in the most difficult of weather, people like Dustin Johnson and Anthony Kim and your other “young guns” would become better players. Instead of your long ball-hitting “doesn’t matter if it’s in the rough cause you have a wedge shot, target golf” you have there in the States.

Realist – Are you a Realist from a golfing point of view or a Tiger Woods fanboy point of view? He isn’t the only guy playing out there this week you know, as much as your Commentators and Media are trying to make it look like he is….

I’m not a fanboy, really. I just want everyone to give him the peace of mind so he can work up to prior skill and mental health on the course so we can see some really fun golf, that’s all.

It appears there is definite reason to believe that “others” don’t want this to ever occur, and then alternate people can and are being promoted, even though they have not shown appropriate skills to warrant their coverage and/or discussion.

Believe me or not, I want the best competition.

Tiger Woods supporters keep forgetting that he is 36 years of age now and the majority of players lose their form around the age of 40. Not only this, as we all know he is prone to another long term injury, and the power Woods has in his swing will always carry this risk. I guess it’s TW’s own fault in a way, he is such a technical player, not as easy on the eye as a Mcilroy or a Montgomerie at his pomp, just because they look more natural. Woods put in alot of work to get to where he did.

In my view TW is the best player of all time even though he’s won 14 Majors to Jack’s 18. Jack said himself “there aren’t as many great player’s today but there are more good players than when I played”. Back when he played there really was only a handful of players who could compete, nowadays there’s 10-20 players good enough to win, or contend most weeks in big events. Woods is better I believe because of his dominant, 8,10,12 and even 15 stroke wins, and the fear factor he once had.

Here is a flipside; I have always liked Phil Mickelson as a human being, but right now I don’t like his game. I use to like his aggressive play but in his 40s now he should tone it down a little bit.

Can’t wait to watch Tiger and Phil but I think that either DK is going to come from behind with a low score or Charlie Wi is going to hang on and win.

As for McIlroy, he played poorly at the weekend, his swing got very fast and he was missing drives all over the place. He’s got to keep the rhythm and stop going for the 350 yard drive or the approach to 2 feet all of the time.

Rory always gags and Tiger never does, good one gail. I guess you weren’t watching two weeks ago when Tiger was tied for the lead and only hit 2 fairways and 5 greens to lose.

And don’t start every post on every thread…”I don’t like him as a human being”.

I don’t care for this on a golf website.
i
I can’t stand that Phil kisses up to the fans, advertisers, and earns OVER $50 million for years now, NOT PLAYING BUT SMILING, GIVING FUNNY YET (GOOD) PRESS CONFERENCES, ETC.

Who bought the house he’s selling in Rancho Sante Fe, CA???? the arse kissers who pay him, as opposed to getting sponsors for PLAYING THE BEST, YEAR IN, YEAR OUT.

You are not even believable stating”I don’t like him as a person”, OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN. Repeat, who cares what YOU think? Slime gets that sentence in at least 10x/post/week.

had* not has.

other* brain fart =-/

This is a game people. On any given Sunday, it can be anybodies day, just like any other sport. And of course the media has to do it’s job and get you riled up so they can show their bosses they are doing a good job. Love to watch TW play, but being from SC have to root for the homeboys also. The fact is they are really good, and there are alot of them.Play away please.

Golf Channel listen, please listen well, easy with the commercials, way TOO MANY. Since you are the only game in town, don’t take advantage of it. Heck charge a little more and show more golf, tired of so many commercials instead do a better job and give us more detail of the players locations of their balls, today and previous days. Your greed will come back to byte. Be smart Golf Channel.

Great call Dave…the guy has how many majors and overall wins? He won the money title eight times in Europe and HE WASN’T A MEMBER OF THE TOUR! You think there’s someting to discuss?

Here’s the question for Sean and the rest of the Euros: Who is the biggest gagger, the young gagger or the old gagger? I go for the young, as he gags every week. The old gagger just can’t putt. Whaddya think?

Gail.. at least McIlroy can get into a position to “gag” week in week out unlike a Rickie Fowler or Keegan Bradley for example. It’s clear for all to see that you HATE McIlroy with a pa$$ion, but please try to control your hatred toward’s him and other European players for once. Thank You :)

Almost time for the real tournament to start. Phil and Tiger are teeing off shortly!

Whitney and Newt both died last night.
Clippers on Fire. New big 3 make Labron, Dwade, and Bosch look like red headed school-gils.

Didn’t realize that once “Rors” was out of it and the pressure was gone, he made a couple of birdies for another top ten. Nice job!
