You missed some: Rule 6) Let Tiger show up as juiced as a professional wrestler and not say a word about it

Rule 7)Lengthen the courses and tailor them to his play to eliminate most of the field....then call it "tiger proofing"

Everyone who makes the cut gets a paycheck, with dead last probably getting $10K to $20K in a biggie like the PGA. Lesser tournaments pay off less but even a player who consistently finishes in the Top 20 will make a lot of money for the year. Results from today:

Mickelson 1ST $1.17M

Elkington / Bjorn Tied for 2ND $572K Each

Hal Sutton Dead Last $11.6K

I would like to club every moron who yells "its in the hole!" every time a ball is hit, even if it is off the tee on a monster hole like Baltusrol No. 17.

I think I heard someone yell just that on #17 this weekend. I made Mrs. kevkrom laugh when I turned to her and said, "someone should beat that idiot senseless".

[1Old Pro]

add me to the list. Lots of morons out there whop can't keep their mouths shut.

I thought I clearly saw Davis Love hightailing it out of there like he saw lightening yesterday when the horn blew.

[Labyrinthos]

You mean a brosseire.

How much is an entry fee?

[Archie Bunker on steroids]

You did. Both he and lefty wanted out of there. They did, however, say that the darkness would've been more of problem scoring wise then the wind or rain. The leaders were mad that they did not start play earlier in the day when they knew a storm was coming. CBS wanted the tourny to end at 1900 eastern time as a lead in to 60 liberals. There was a 30 minute weather delay earlier in the day that pushed everything back.

I despise his attitude. When things aren't going his way he curses like nobody's business (in front of many younger adoring fans) and slams his clubs into the ground. A couple months ago after a particularly poor effort at a putt he dragged his putter along the green, scuffing it up badly. He's out of control...

But I think McCord got banned from the Masters for being too colorful one year, IIRC.

YUP!

Bikini wax'd the greens.

Mickelson is every bit as talented as Tiger,..

I'm a big Tiger fan but in some respects I think Phil is more talented, especially in the short game.

Phil's problem has always been his "go for broke" attitude in all situations. He took too many doubles.

Glad to see him win since he changed his strategy of play.

...and what was with Bobby Clampett today? Usually a very insightful commentator, he was on Phil's case from the very first hole.

Elkington and Bjorn (tied for 2nd ) get over a half-million apiece...

More specifically, if there is a tie for second place between two folks they split the money that was earmarked for 2nd and 3rd. If there's three that tied for third place, they would split the purse earmarked for 4th, 5th, and 6th, etc..

[Archie Bunker on steroids]

He's on them...but he's also a little pampered.

For the record, Tiger was +5 the first round, -1 for the second to post a 144, right on the cut line. Then he shot -4, -2 on the weekekn to score -2 for the tourney.

But who's counting :)

[evad]

yep..only someone with T's talent could shoot himself out of a tournament on the first day and come back to almost win it.

Like his antics or not, his talent and course management are superior.

Danica - she gets plenty of hype. You will soon be hearing of another female racer. She's won a World of Outlaws sprint car race, and now drives development and ARCA for Evernham. She appears to have the skills, and she's from my hometown, too.

course management are superior

I disagree. His talent is amazing. His course management is subpar, so to speak. I often see him do really stupid things on the golf course, but his talent allows him to get away with them.

Often huh?

How about a few specifics because I don't see him "often" doing stupid things.

[Archie Bunker on steroids]

He does not do stupid things on the golf course. Off it, however, I think he's cheating the public by doing roids.

..and you can source that comment???
