Weir coming home?

[fundonny]

From a great first round to this???? 8 over at 16 holes. Bird bird might keep him there.

[NoBack]

The word ***spoiler*** would be nice in your title for those wanting to watch the Open ??

[Bouche]

yes he will be cut.

Unless you're going to avoid all scores all day long and watch it on delay or pvr, Weir finished his round just after 6 AM our time...

[3Jack]

You never know, he still might make it... not probably, but cut is currently +2, and the wind is blowing, and there is still lots of golf left. Tiger moved up 25 places already and he hasn't teed off yet.

[Hank Hill]

Ouch Mikey man, you usually save that kind of score for round 4.


In other news Tiger just had a meltdown on the 9th, that tee-box took a bit of punishment, as did his bag...

hear that after I left, my appologies

Not to be a pain, but people who are taping a sports event and don't want to find out the score should stay away from golf websites instead of expecting everyone else to follow their imaginary spoiler rules.

Maybe Tiger can join Mike on the flight back. I hear they'll be jetting with WCS (Woulda, Coulda, Shoulda) Airlines.

[Bouche]

lol so true. IMO I would only ever tape the final round of a tournament. And as apex pointed out, I would stay away from this forum!

[Bouche]

I cant follow weir anymore, I gave up on him along time ago. He is not clutch at all, hes a lefty , and he chokes ALMOST as much as Garcia does. Those 2 should be on the C Flight - Choke!

Reid, it's ok to be a pain
But I dont tape things at all. I was going to watch the golf and didnt realize Mike was already done. Thats all. No problem at all. You read too much into it.

Weir is a top 25 player in the world - how can you give up on him? I guess the 2003 Masters was an eon ago, but the putt he made on 18 that day to force a playoff was nothing but clutch.

[Bouche]

yes but he is never in contention during the final round, sure he does well the first 2 rounds....but then he falls off and never comes close. the odd time he will finish in the top 5 but without checking, he rarely places top 10...no?

65 top 10s in his career
4 top 10s this year (at the half way mark or so)
8 top 10s last year
4 top 10s in 2007, including a win
6 top 10s in 2006

As Don Cherry often says, why do Canadians so love to eat their young?

[Bouche]

not bad way more than I thought, doesnt change my opinion on him however, he won't win a major again. Sad to say but very true! However, I hope im wrong

Many great players have never won a major, and there are handful of fantastic players who have only won one - Justin Leonard, or Trevor Immelman, just to name two. We'd really not be surprised if either won another major, would we?

Fair enough LOL! It wasn't so much a comment on you Steve, but you'd be surprised how many fights there are about this type of thing on other golf boards
On GEA and FGI for example they have actually put in spoiler rules due to so many people complaining that people posting results was ruining their enjoyment of taping tournaments

Now what is that saying

.............Oh yeah, even a blind squirrel gets a nut every now and then

Tiger will not be teeing off on Saturday

I can understand why those big names are coming home. Patience, lack of it. For instance, Tom Watson, 59 years old and still strikes the ball solidly.

At one point today he was back to -2, yet he finished at -5. Patience, Tom has played and won enough Open Championships to know what it takes. He knows not to force the issue and take what the course gives you. He knows how to hit different shots that are required to score well on those courses and under those conditions.

Of course the young guns should know that too. But home many times have you seen them hit driver into the rough and make a bogie, when a 3 wood in the fairway and a solid par would do? Too many times. I was rather surprised that Ben Curtis shot 80 today as he is usually a fairly patient player. He does not try to bomb it 300 yards off the tee. He plods around a course.

With winds blowing at 20 MPH someone does not have to be off much and their score goes up.

I think it might be an interesting weekend at Turnberry

Fantasy picks in all my leagues took a beating this week.
