Boob Ryan is an idiot and needs to be called out on this. I wonder if he said the same thing about Norman after being the 3rd round leader. I’m willing to bet not, especially since Greg’s still close to Bubba and of course wouldn’t warrant a pot shot.....
Now of course since Tom’s a big fan of the troops, has made several trips to Iraq and leans conservative, Bob thinks it’s OK to bash him. See it’s real simple. If Tom Watson is carrying his 6th Claret Jug come Sunday evening, it is one of the greatest acheivements in sport over the last 1/2 century.
Don’t read into anything negative against Norman. Sharkie is one of my all time favorites. I was just illustrating a point and I assume Ryan didn’t write the same thing last year.
Hello all!!! Thanks for joining in the thread. FOR THE MOST PART(hint,hint)we’ve stuck to the topic at hand and we are and could be witnessing possibly one of the watershed moments in all of sport certainly in my lifetime, definetly in the last 1/2 century.
Time for the latest weather courtesy of the network Al Roker’s show starts this Monday(aka The Weather Channel). Things haven’t changed much from yesterday. Tomorrow should bring mostly light rain during the day, a 60% chance becoming heavier and steady at night. Winds again a factor, NNW at 16 MPH. High 58, Low 51.
On Sunday the steady rain continues at a 70% chance with winds increasing to NNW at 22 MPH. High only 55, Low 51.
Play tomorrow begins at 8:20AM/BST, or 3:20AM on the East Coast. Our leaders, Tom Watson and Steve Marino go off at 3:00PM/BST, 10:00AM on the East Coast. TNT starts things, bright and early at 7:00AM/EDT with ABC taking over at 9:00AM.
I would imagine play beginning an hour earlier on Sunday, since TV starts an hour earlier, 6:00AM/EDT on TNT, 8:00AM on ABC. Remember folks, if there is a tie at the end of 72 holes, a 4-hole playoff is staged immediately afterwards. If a tie still exists, sudden death takes over......
I know what we’ve see so far has been pretty damn good. The fact that Tiger isn’t around for the weekend doesn’t eliminate the possibilities that are out there. Even though he won’t 3 peat, Padraig plays the weekend and hopefully well too. Plenty of star power out there with Furyk, Donald, Stricker, Garcia and others. John Daly, and the outfits making the cut(more on JD in a minute). Vijay and Jimenez lurking close by our leaders. And finally the almost AARP group in Mark Calcavecchia and Tom Watson join Steve Marino at the top.
Now I don’t know about ya’ll, but imagine Tom is again terrific and is maybe -4 walking off 18 green. He turns to the big yellow scoreboard and sees that’s at the top of the pack. He also sees one other name at the top with him, after shooting a best of the day 66, John Daly will be in the final game with Tom Watson come 2:00 Sunday afternoon.
Before you think that’s impossible. Think about what we’ve seen so far and then tell me it isn’t more than reasonable to think this happens.....
Play well boys, all 75 who made the cut......
Oh, one last thing. Mark Calcavecchia is a noted Democrat on tour. Maybe we should bash him like the number 1 golfer in the world gets trashed by a certain.....you get the point. I’m not going to bash. I hope he plays well tomorrow. I’ve seen him play enough times in person to know he’s a pretty good guy that many on tour respect. There, nuff said.....
Good point. I overlooked the political angle. ...and Ryan is certainly a vocal lib. Wouldn’t surpise me at all if the motivation for his mindless rant were political.
