He's halfway there folks. Mick has two trophies on his mantle and needs two more to win the 'Tiger Slam'. But if he does, they'll have to find a new name for it.

Very understandable: http://sports.espn.go.com/golf/news/story?id=2414980

With the field not being very deep this week, can Phil bring home third straight victory?

Big day for Callaway today. Releasing bad news to shareholders. Anyone invested?

Currently we have a set # of Majors; I seriously think that either Jack or Tiger will start something like Augusta; not so much Jack but when Tiger finally quits he'll have to start his own Major. :-)

Looks like Duval is hot today, three straight birdies to start the round. GO DAVID!!!:thumbsup

Talk about GROSS National Product. $50-$60 Million!!! :confused Here's a few of the many columns that are sure to follow... http://www.rte.ie/sport/2006/0502/dalyj.html http://www.latimes.com/sports/golf/la-sp-daly2may02,1,4510484.story?coll=la-headlines-sports-golf...

Anyone read the golf channel excerpts of john daly's upcoming book. I repeat my comments on previous threads. The guy in my opinion doesn't deserve pity. He has now added gambling, to alcoholic, violent outbursts, walking off courses mid round. Anyone who continues to say he doesn't have a...

This is too bad! :( http://sports.espn.go.com/golf/news/story?id=2431912 Gropper

Looks like he's making the media tour for his book. Should be good.

What the hell happened to JB Holmes today?!?!?!?!

Saw this on TGN. Apparently she made the cut. I personally applaud her efforts to keep working her way down the food chain in an effort to find a mens event she could make the cut at. If this had failed she would have been at the OG opening for her next try. Cheers Wiesy! I play to win and you...

12 strokes from the winner after a final round 74.

I was surprised to see that nobody has mentioned this yet. Moe Norman is to be inducted into the Canadian Sports Hall of Fame. I must admit that as someone of a younger generation I do not know much about the man, but from the few interviews I have seen, the guy seemed like a great character, and...

Greetings .... For those of you not yet aware - The PGA Tour exemption category regarding members on the most recent Ryder Cup (USA and Europe) and Presidents Cup (USA and International) teams is being phased out. Here's the article by Doug Ferguson. I noted this quote from Jim Furyk --...

Similar to alot of pga events lately where you can watch live footage, the womens lpga is doing so at the michelob. Thought some might like it. I watched the island hole at tpc and masters amen corner. Hmm? Watch lumpy or christie kerr? Hmm? http://www.michelobultraopen.com/webcast.html

"Michelle Wie finally makes a cut against the boys and it's half-a-world away, against a no-name field on a Podunk tour. Tough break for her two regular stops on the PGA Tour." Can someone tell me what Podunk is? I know what he's trying to say (Alan Shypnuk from SI), but I don't get it.

http://www.calgarysun.com/cgi-bin/publish.cgi?p=138983&x=articles&s=backswing found this posted on TGN....what a day!

Talk about 'live by the sword, die by the sword'!!!!! Bubba Watson, after shooting a great 65 yesterday, Bubba Watson is 7 over after 15 holes!! Go Weir!

Greetings .... What is this Fed Ex Cup Series that starts in 2007 you ask .... ?? Only the very latest "season-ending" series concept to be rolled out by the PGA Tour. They've been at this sort of thing for several decades now. Here's a rundown .... 1974-1975: Players Championship The...

Okay, it's less then a month away, let's get some predictions... Will Tiger win on Father's Day? Will Vijay finally get a win this season? Will Mickelson take a huge step to the 'slam? Will one of the rookies come out of nowhere to win? Will an Aussie or South African take it? Let's...

I've started a Big Break V Survivor Pool up on the National Capital Golf Tour site, http://www.nationalcapitalgolftour.com/main/SillySeason/BigBreakSurvivorPool/tabid/64/Default.aspx To play, you need to register on the site, and then have your team created and your first entry made before the...

Interesting article about Phil and Tiger crossing paths at Winged Foot. http://www.thejournalnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060528/SPORTS01/605280346/1108

Tiger woods has been the number one golfer in the world for 393 weeks in total... The other players who have had official World Number 1 status in the 20 year history of the Ranking are BERNHARD LANGER (3 weeks), SEVE BALLESTEROS (61 weeks), GREG NORMAN (331 weeks), NICK FALDO (97 weeks), IAN...

OMG... hits a par 5 in 2 and 5 putts for a 7 on 11!?!?!??! Not sure whether to feel sorry for him or not...

In case you didn't hear, Bubba couldn't play because he left his clubs with his caddy, who didn't show up on time.

So I hear and see all the fuss about the bunkers at Jacks place. I at first agree that the special rakes could leave unlucky shots. ...then I thought to myself.. 1. The pro's have a caddy carry their clubs while they whistle along. We have to pull or carry wearing ourselves out. 2. They get...

From CNN.com Dirty problem Phil Mickelson returned Saturday morning to resume the rain-delayed second round when he noticed the hole on the sixth green was not in the same spot as it was when he left the course the night before. The new hole was about 3 feet away, and there was a good...

Did you guy's see the headlines: Hawaiian phenom teenager makes the US open thru qualifying!!!! Yeah? I missed it. But I did read it today and its no joke. See below. 15-year-old Tadd Fujikawa qualified for the U.S. Open yesterday. I'm talking about Tadd Fujikawa, the 15-year-old freshman...

Greetings .... Just thought I'd have some fun here. Have you ever thought about what a US Open might be like played close to the Artic Circle? With constant daylight, the field could be greatly expanded, and the Sunday Finish would extend well into Prime Time. Here's a little example of a...

I was watching TGC today during the Nationwide event from Chicago. Casey Martin is playing and after his round he was interviewed. He has been hired as the Golf Coach for one of the Oregon Universities. Good for him, as it appears his playing days are coming to an end due to his health. Nice to...

She got through the first step, now she has to get through the 36 hole sectional qualifier in New Jersey on June 5th. Her getting through the first round of qualifying is very impressive by the way. I don't know the field for this sectional qualifier yet, but when I find out I'll post it.

Greetings ... What if Michelle Wie had won the LPGA Championship? Indeed, what if she were to win any official event in 2006? Well, maybe after such a victory, the LPGA would then grant Ms. Wie regular membership. However, since the win would have been as a non-member, then Michelle would...

I will prob get a lot of flack for this but... I know shes young etc etc .. But I think shes a choker.. She cannot finish... She has let both womens majors slip through her fingers this year... I just think when the pressure is on she chokes.. I know shes young and with age will come experience......

Lost in all the Michelle Wie hype was the fact that a 15 year old has made it into the US Open. Another Hawaiian child prodigy? Hopefully he plays well. http://www.golfweb.com/tournaments/usopen/story/9492208

Ok I know we don't need more controversial threads about Michele Wie but.. I am watchin Greay Goose 19th hole on the eve of arguably the biggest tournament of the year and they are talking about her!! Common..

Anyone have a link for live coverage? I need something to do at work today :laughing:

My prediction is he'll make the cut, barely. I think it's still too soon after Earl's death for him to go out and win such a big tournament. I think he'll be okay for the PGA in August.

For those who are around home today and tomorrow there is plenty of US OPEN coverage on TSN. Starting today at 9:30 AM with a preview and then on the air at 10AM. It appears that the broadcast will continue all day right up to 7PM. Sweeeeeeeeet I just checked the early scores, David Toms doubled...

....in the fairway on 18, par will put pressure on Mickelson, waits ages for the green to clear, changes his mind about what club to hit and comes up short, eventually 3 putting and carding a last hole double..... ....then Phil goes out and "craps the bed", a simple par would have won Monty his...

Just saw some of the scores posted on TGC. Duval shot a 68 today. What????? I hope the Duval of recent times has gone away for good and he gets back to the level we are used to seeing him at. After today's round, I will be rooting on Duval throughout the weekend. Would love to see him make a run at...

If Phil somehow manages to win the US open, it should go down as the luckiest win in History. Yes he managed to get up and down all day, but my God he has had a lot of good breaks.....in the garbage can, off of the hospitality tent. He's hit it so wild that he was past all of the trouble and...

I am a lefty so naturally I love watching Phil play. Not crazy about him but he is a great player. It was refreshing to hear him say "I am such an idiot" after the 18th hole choke. I could not beleive my eyes when I saw him pull out the driver on 18. I mean, he is usually pretty smart and he...

Just wondering if PGA exemptions are cumulative? If someone wins two majors in the same year, are they exempt for 10 years(5 years for each major) or just 5 years?
