Players Championship

**NoBack** · 03-23-2005 06:37 PM

Looks like its gonna be another wild golf weekend.

82 of the top 100 will be there. More importantly, ALL 50 of the Top 50 in the world will there. Will be the first time that has ever happened.

And combined totals of majors in the field is 27.

What an incredible round by Steve Jones. 64 (-8) that is very impressive

**Sakuraba** · 03-24-2005 02:09 PM

He finished with a very nice bird, which I wathced live at lunch today.

How about Phil's 7 birdies?

**fireice** · 03-24-2005 02:34 PM

His 7 birdies were nice but the double and 3 bogeys at the end of his round kinda sucked. :cryin
Nice to see Padraig up near the top. VJ is making a nice charge also.

Did you guys see Poulter’s brain fart yesterday. He marked his ball on the green, picked it up out of frustration and the ball flew out of his hand and in to the water. :blush

Luckily his coach was following him and volunteered to fetch the ball in 4 feet of what. Poulter would of had one stroke penalty if the ball was not retrieved.

Pretty hilarious.

I will pay $55.95 for the removal of Bob Costos from the Golf commentator world...

Looks as if Weir is making a charge hes now at 5 under

**Vulcan** · 03-27-2005 02:43 PM

the big question remains, will this tournament ever finish? it must get pretty annoying to these guys to have to be constantly stopping and starting, especially when they're on a streak, like Weir or Adam Scott

**EDSGOLF** · 03-27-2005 03:07 PM

Here is the scene: I go for a nice walk with my wife and new son, enjoy the sun and fresh air, Mommy and son are going to take a nap this afternoon, so Daddy will watch golf. I sit down and within 10 seconds I see the guy with the horn: DOH!

I wonder if the player that will win this week will have the same feeling and pride then if it was not interrupted so many times.

It’s hard to stay hot for 4 days let alone 5 with stop and go play multiple times a day.

It was booooring for me.

**LobWedge** · 03-28-2005 02:16 PM

Wow! Did Westwood ever get left behind. I'll bet he'll be thinking about that 3rd round for a while.

Poor Steve Jones. From first to worst. He's +11 thru 12 holes today, +10 overall. An 18 shot swing. Too bad, he's one of the nice guys too.

**LobWedge** · 03-28-2005 04:58 PM

1) Steve Jones will likely have the strange honour of having the best and worst rounds in the same tournament. I wonder if this has ever happened before?

2) Tom Lehman had better stick around. -8 is looking pretty good right now. It would be fun to see an 8-way playoff.

Thanks to Frank Lickliter for allowing Jones to dodge that bullet.

When's the last time Tiger didn't break 70 in a tournament?

**LobWedge** · 03-28-2005 05:13 PM

I wonder if Pete Dye thinks those people who make the "World's Toughest Golf Holes" calendars are a bunch of candy-ass wimps...

Then again, he may win without having to hit another shot...

Wow what a solid tournament by Fred Funk

!! Congrats to him on the victory.

Finally an afternoon of good golf. Hats off to Funk.

Amen! From this biased perspective, it was great to see Fred win on a an extremely tough course where skill, course management, accuracy and ball control were essential.

Winning while playing under the conditions they all had to endure, particularly today's wind, which is a true indication of a player's mettle, should make the victory all the more satisfying.

The leaderboard at The Masters should be different where driving the ball long will be a prerequisite, bringing TW, VS, EE and PM back in the hunt, however, the TPC was great to watch while it lasted.

**EDSGOLF** · 03-28-2005 07:12 PM

It sure helped that TPC is Funk's home course, imagine playing that course every month/week. Glad he won.

Might explain why he was rated 743rd last year. What is it they say about nice guys......?

Hmmm...its one of VJ's too...guess it helps some but not others.

Or, it could be that he did not play all of last season because he was injured.

If nice guys finish last, how come Funk won?
