The U.S. Open (Torrey Pines)

[we are cured]

in my opinion

favorites:
mickelson (playing well, will need to drive the ball extremely well as he has been doing lately)
woods (will the knee hold up? or better yet, even if it does, will he be rusty or fresh?)
sergio (he's been driving the ball well and hitting greens, but the flatstick will probably be his nemesis)
p. harrington (has a great all-around game and a good open record but choked at winged foot)


dark horses:
stricker
paul casey

[StuGrimson]

I think Mickelson, Goosen and Furyk are my picks and those are pretty easy ones to pick. I like Ogilvy but his track record at Torrey Pines is awful. Harrington and Garcia are good bets to contend too.

My dark horses

Tim Clark
Justin Leonard, I know he is extremely short and its a long course but I love the way he is playing this year

Definately looking forward to this killing about 6 hours at work tomorrow

[we are cured]

are there any official streams?

[preppyak]

I got my money on Furyk...I really don't expect Mickelson to play particularly well, despite his recent play. One of these days he'll learn to club down on 18 with a one stroke lead...rather than have to hack out of the rough for a miracle save.

It'll be interesting to see how Tiger plays during Round 2...Round 1 won't see the effects really

[hyphy]

Mickelson lives in Rancho Santa Fe..... this is basically his private course.

[StuGrimson]

are there any official streams?

Ill be watching on TSN.CA, unknown if it will be on pgatour.com or anything like that

[we are cured]

it definitely won't be. i'll have to use one of those ghetto-rigged streams off myp2p

[StuGrimson]

This isnt a Johnny Miller tournament is it?

[we are cured]

oh you know it is.

[StuGrimson]

If only I had the attention span and willpower to watch golf with the mute button on

[preppyak]

ha...I'm happy the coverage is 7 hours tomorrow...get the early rounds AND the bulk of the players.

ESPN might actually get this right

[nfggc10]

it definitely won't be. i'll have to use one of those ghetto-rigged streams off myp2pThe online coverage is actually great. USOPEN.com is having a full stream of Tiger/Phil/Scott starting at 11am and ESPN360.com is streaming coverage starting at 11 as well. The picture quality is great both ways so you won't have to mess with the tiny windows that myp2p usually links to.

ha...I'm happy the coverage is 7 hours tomorrow...get the early rounds AND the bulk of the players.

ESPN might actually get this right9 hours of actual coverage and espn/golf channel both have live pre-game shows starting at 11am. So, basically there's 11 total hours.

[captainhampton]

is this on ESPN tomorrow? I hope they keep Berman away. Don't like the guy at all, but he's especially bad doing golf.

[we are cured]

that is awesome

[StuGrimson]

A full stream of Tiger and Phil wont exactly differ from their usual coverage

[williek311]

I'm hoping Jim Furyk wins.

[we are cured]

phil definitely dropped some lbs, you can't even call him bitch tits mickelson anymore

[StuGrimson]

Excellent start for Tiger

[we are cured]

yeah he looks terrible these first few shots.

[StuGrimson]

And Phil does look pretty hot, he doesnt even have the saggy grandpa boobs anymore that come with losing all that weight

[airik625]

Tiger looks like he might get one back after that double bogey.

[we are cured]

yeah that was a good swing. scott is surprisingly steady so far considering the broken finger.

[StuGrimson]

What time does the actual golf coverage start because I dont know how much more of this I can take

[we are cured]

espn coverage starts at 1

[StuGrimson]

Thats all right then, Im not going into work until 1 anyway so that should pretty much take me through the day

[preppyak]

What time does the actual golf coverage start because I dont know how much more of this I can take
Yeah...that opening 2 hours was brutal...so many sap stories that were garbage

And Phil needs to start hitting 5 iron off the tee if he wants to stay in the fairway...he has been killing himself

[preppyak]

Once they got away from Berman, the commentary has been pretty good. I was watching a lot of players miss putts off the edges, thinking they were probably all thinking "Its the US Open, this has to break more than I think"...and a second later the commentators brought it up.

Just dear god, do not go back to Chris Berman and whoever was with him...it was terrible...the amount of puns damn near broke my mute button

[StuGrimson]

Im in the minority of people who actually dont mind Berman doing golf, though Ill take anyone over Johnny Miller.

The leaderboard looks pretty much exactly how it should look on a Thursday. No name (to the casual fan at least) Americans that will eventually fade away and good Europeans that will eventually fade away

[preppyak]

Ogilvy playing real well so far though...I expect him, if he holds this pace, to be right up there

[preppyak]

my favorite part of the coverage today...now that I get to watch it on replay, was this

"Now on the tee, Sergio Garcia"

Commentary
"Many people think Sergio Garcia will be a major contender in this championship...he's been playing very well lately"
(pause)
"He just needs to get off to a good start, thats the key really"
(pause)
(Sergio's tee shot is 20yds wide of the fairway)
"Well, that was not a good start"

[we are cured]

casey wittenberg with a 72...crazy, that kid was dominating ajga tournaments when i was in junior golf.

[StuGrimson]

Wittenberg was supposed to be like the next big name a few years ago but he has had an awful career so far. Looks like he is putting up decent numbers on the Nationwide and should be back to the PGA next season though.

Weird for me seeing Ian Leggat playing decent here, I used to play on the Leggat tour when I was a kid.

Happy to see Els at -1, he is deserving of another major

[we are cured]

well my picks so far:

mickelson (E)
woods (+1)
garcia (+5)
harrington (+7)
stricker (+2)
casey (+8)

not too good so far

[StuGrimson]

My picks are pretty awful, and of course the best one I picked is Ogilvy who I pretty much said wouldnt win anyway but I still like him. If you mention 8 guys though at least 1 of them is bound to be good.

Ogilvy -2
Mickelson E
Clark +2
Furyk +3
Leonard +4
Goosen +5
Garcia +5
Harrington +7

[nfggc10]

well my picks so far:

mickelson (E)
woods (+1)
garcia (+5)
harrington (+7)
stricker (+2)
casey (+8)

not too good so farCasey is a bit of an enigma. Out of the young Brits I think he has the most potential but in majors he always seems to get off to rough starts. At the last couple US Opens he's blown up the first day and then worked his way back to the top 10. I think in the last 4 years he's had the low round of the week at a major at least 3 or 4 times.

Steve Stricker seems to be on his way back down after a great 2 year comeback.

[nfggc10]

My picks are pretty awful, and of course the best one I picked is Ogilvy who I pretty much said wouldnt win anyway but I still like him. If you mention 8 guys though at least 1 of them is bound to be good.

Ogilvy -2
Mickelson E
Clark +2
Furyk +3
Leonard +4
Goosen +5
Garcia +5
Harrington +7It surprises me how no one ever looks into when Goosen fell off the tracks. People seem to forget that he was a 73 or better away from a 3rd US Open in 5 years at Pinehurst in 2005. He didn't break 80 that final round and really hasn't been the same since. Everyone seems to point to 2006 and the driver problems that started then but I think it took him a long time to get over that.

[StuGrimson]

He couldnt handle the pressure of playing with Jason Gore. That was a shocker that day, he was the one guy I said wasnt capable of ballooning that round but he did it as bad as anyone. That was probably the most shocking collapse Ive seen in a major in a long time.

He was always a guy who would hit it in the fairway in his drive and when he did that he would never get into trouble. Make his pars and be able to avoid the big numbers. Then he just started spraying it off the tee and his scrambling was just awful.

Now his accuracy and GIR seems to be plummeting but his scrambling is much better. I think he is due for a turnaround but I should have seen that this wasnt the week to do it.

I think he is due for a turnaround but I should have seen that this wasnt the week to do it.Yeah I mean when he made that 30 footer from off the green to end the day on Saturday I though it was over. Even as big of a Tiger fan as I am, who was 7 back, I thought Goosen had it locked up. I figured Gore would blow up, which he did, but Goosen had hit it decent all week but was having a Shinnecock-like week on the greens. I miss seeing him and Ernie contending but it was nice to see Ernie put a solid round together which would have been better if not for the back break on 8, or his 17th hole.

Andy North just said on ESPN2 that there is no marine layer this morning which means the course will be much firmer much earlier as compared to yesterday. This is definitely a good break for the guys with the late-early draw who can go out this morning and post a number.

[we are cured]

stu suicide watch: tiger shoots 30 on the back (front) nine

and jimenez (or jimeneth) is on fire

[airik625]

It makes me so happy to see Tiger playing well again.

I hope he wins this so bad.

[StuGrimson]

stu suicide watch: tiger shoots 30 on the back (front) nine

I went out just as he was teeing off on 18 and I think he was 2 or 3 over so I was pretty pissed off when I got home. Luckily I was drunk enough that I feel asleep before it really registered.

[airik625]

Hopefully Tiger can take the lead today, so he'll have the lead going into the final round. Because I think we all know he probably won't come from behind to win on the final round (considering I don't think he has ever done it before).

[we are cured]

well we'll see how the course plays in the afternoon today...tiger made a lot of putts yesterday and will probably have to do the same today to take the lead. i don't count him out if he's 2 or 3 shots back going into tomorrow, though. he owns this place.

[S/T]

haha What an absurd shot from Tiger. He knew how lucky he got, too.

[LeftWideOpen]

what a wild day. Mediate was crusing and then, poof! Ugly day for Appleby as well.

This is shaping up to be a great final round with Westwood finished at -2 and Woods playing 18 at -1. This will be a great final pair tomorrow, barring a Woods collapse on 18.

[LeftWideOpen]

Rocco with the birdie to go to -1

old guy is resilient.

[LeftWideOpen]

Tiger is really hurting. I have to wonder how he's going to handle another full round.

[LeftWideOpen]

TIGER WOODS, WE ARE NOT WORTHY!

Eagle on 18 to take the lead!

[captainhampton]

that was awesome. and I love watching this at night too.

[airik625]

Wow, Tiger put on a show today. I waited around all day to watch, but then I couldn't wait any longer and I had to go out. Watching those highlights were chilling. That last putt he made on 18 for eagle was insane. I would have killed to be there.

[xbrokendownx]

that long putt by tiger was ridiculous. like i cant even imagine being able to make a shot like that

[airik625]

I hope Tiger doesn't fuck it up tomorrow. I know he has never lost having the lead going into Sunday, but I hope that's not a jinx.

Anyone know what time he tees off tomorrow?

[LeftWideOpen]

4:30 EST w/ Westwood.

[we are cured]

that was awesome. and I love watching this at night too.

yeah, i'm a big fan of prime time major championshnip golf as well.

[jbaseball44]

Tiger is all over the place so far

[airik625]

What the fuck is going on with Tiger? He better find a way to pull this off.

[airik625]

How bout that chip in by Els. That was nice.

In other news, Tiger needs to get his shit together.

[jbaseball44]

even though tiger has played really awful so far, he is only one back.

[airik625]

even though tiger has played really awful so far, he is only one back.

I know, I don't see how either.

[jbaseball44]

I know, I don't see how either.

I guess because no one else is any good and erine els has missed about 5 birdie puts inside 12 feet.

[airik625]

I guess because no one else is any good and erine els has missed about 5 birdie puts inside 12 feet.

Yeah, Ernie Els has blown a bunch of opportunities.

Lee Westwood just blew one too by missing that putt within 5 feet for birdie.

[jbaseball44]

They both just birdied

[airik625]

TIGER TAKES THE LEAD!!!!!!

x

[jbaseball44]

Well now he is in the lead, is it time to say it's over?

[airik625]

Well now he is in the lead, is it time to say it's over?

We thought we could when he had the lead going into today, but as we saw, it wasn't safe.

I just hope his knee holds up and he stays focused.

EDIT: Westwood just had a bad tee shot in the bunker. Maybe he can bogey this hole.

[jbaseball44]

Are you watching Erine Els right now, i am laughing at him

[jbaseball44]

Mediate missing a 2-footer, jesus these guys are terrible!

[airik625]

Shit, Tiger is now trailing by a shot.

[jbaseball44]

Tiger is going to win, all these guys are going to fall apart in the end.

[airik625]

I sure hope so. He just fucked up another tee shot.

[jbaseball44]

another short putt missed by rocco

[Killadelphia]

Just wow.

[jbaseball44]

WOW, what a putt my tiger

[teddy]

oh my.. tiger.. wow

[GiggsOho]

Chills.

[we are cured]

holy shit. i dont know if that knee can hold up tomorrow but man that was a gutsy performance.

[williek311]

Any harder and that put would've liped out.

[CarlosLunes]

no doubt about it

[jbaseball44]

he was very lucky it didn't lip out, better lucky than good i guess. Should be fun tomorrow

[Killadelphia]

In 2010, Tiger Woods will become the World's first athlete to pass 1 billion in earnings, if you include endorsements.

[StuGrimson]

Great round today, Rocco better pull it off tomorrow.

If I were given a gun and one bullet it would be used on Johnny Miller.

[mcfly21]

so they play a full 18 or just until someone wins?

[Killadelphia]

so they play a full 18 or just until someone wins?

full.

[FondestMemory]

that was fucking awesome.

[LeftWideOpen]

Great round today, Rocco better pull it off tomorrow.

If I were given a gun and one bullet it would be used on Johnny Miller.

I concur. If they mentioned Mediate dodging bullets one more time, I was hoping Miller would catch one.

so excited for tomorrow.

[we are cured]

i hate johnny miller

is this going to be streamed tomorrow?

[LeftWideOpen]

not sure. starts at 12:00 EST on ESPN for the front 9 and finishes on NBC, at 2, for the back 9.

[we are cured]

tsn.ca is streaming it, i don't know about anything for US viewers though.

[LeftWideOpen]

man, I can't wait for this.

[we are cured]

i know for real, i wonder how much damage tiger did to his knee this weekend.

[StuGrimson]

If Tiger wins they will hail it as an amazing accomplisment with his injury, if he loses they will say he only lost because of his injury. He said himself it only hurts after he swings, not during a swing so I dont buy that it will make a big difference.

I also noticed he would grimace a lot and show the pain when he was hitting bad shots but then when he was hitting good shots you couldnt even tell he was having any knee issues. Milking it for the camera I guess.

[we are cured]

ah i don't know, whenever he hit that driver he'd bend over at the tee...even when he was stroking it down the middle.

[we are cured]

yes, usopen.com has it live.

[Scott Weber]

just moved our little TV back into my office so I could watch this while working.

[we are cured]

this destroyed any possibility of being productive today. at least my boss is out paying baltusrol.

[LeftWideOpen]

bogey start for Mediate

[CarlosLunes]

great interview......for deaf people

[Scott Weber]

haha, nice interview with Rocco here, how are they still letting this air?

[LeftWideOpen]

award-winning production

[LeftWideOpen]

rocco looks really bad

[Scott Weber]

you were saying?

[we are cured]

tough break for tiger with that plugged lie, but a great shot from mediate.

[Scott Weber]

i was impressed that tiger even left himself a makeable putt out of there, that is a near impossible lie to get any sort of touch on.

[StuGrimson]

One of the advantages of working in the golf industry is everyone is sitting around doing nothing but watching golf in the office today

[Scott Weber]

nice approach by Rocco, using the hybrid.

[rcrook]

lol rocco is a character, sipping on starbucks during his interview

[StuGrimson]

Even as a world class Tiger hater I have to give him props for some of the shots he hits, a plugged lie in the bunker is my mortal enemy. That would have double digits written all over it for me.

[airik625]

Tiger just got himself out of trouble.

I'm hoping for another dramatic finish on 18.

[rcrook]

stu what do you do for work? golf industry?

[WFUJerseyJon]

Tiger's last shot onto the green was gorgeous. Thank God I don't have much work today.

[StuGrimson]

stu what do you do for work? golf industry?

I work for a chain of sports stores in the purchasing department for their golf merchandise. Basically nobody sells, buys or demos today because of the playoff so we pretty much are just sititng around the office watching golf.

[rcrook]

and you get paid for it? not a bad day of work today.

[WFUJerseyJon]

I can never get over how gorgeous Torrey Pines is. The B-Roll they keep showing and the overheads are unbelievable.

[airik625]

A beautiful tee shot by Tiger. If only he could have more of those.

[rcrook]

yeah san diego is a beautiful city

[WFUJerseyJon]

Hello cart path

[Scott Weber]

ugh, awful break for Rocco.

[airik625]

I think they said that shot ended up on the third hole.

[we are cured]

best case scenario is that thing went so far, he'll have room to play a high flop shot. i doubt he'll have the lie for it though.

[xbrokendownx]

whoa awesome shot

[Scott Weber]

incredible shot by Rocco, wow.

[StuGrimson]

Nice shot but still makes for a tough par

[we are cured]

i didn't think he'd have that good an angle, solid execution though.

[airik625]

Both back to one over now.

[rcrook]

thank you, we are all watching it

[StuGrimson]

Rocco seems like he has an awful follow through on his backswing. If I was watching an amateur I would swear everyone of his shots would go badly right.

[we are cured]

at the top his club comes across the plane, and his right elbow is flying all over the place. that used to happen to me and i'd hook the shit out of it, so it doesn't surprised me that a draw is his natural ball flight.

[airik625]

perfect shot by Tiger. wow

[gonz]

gorgeous

[airik625]

what a shot by Rocco.

[airik625]

I've never liked Johnny Miller as a commentator.

[airik625]

I can't believe that's a public golf course too.

[we are cured]

miller is the ultimate douche

[we are cured]

I can't believe that's a public golf course too.

yep, so is bethpage which hosts the us open next year. pinehurst is as well, though you have to drop $375 to play it. bethpage is a little more reasonable (around $100).

[LeftWideOpen]

I love Pinehurst. Probably my favorite course to watch.

[LeftWideOpen]

rocco gains a stroke!

[we are cured]

I'm insanely jealous. Did you shoot like 125? haha

nah, actually 81. i hit the ball about as good as i ever have. i doubled 17 and bogeyed 18 too.

i was on fire until it started pouring at around the 13th hole...we were all under a tree and got soaked. when it let up i came back and made double on 14, but sort of held it together for 15 and 16.

[LeftWideOpen]

tiger grimace alert!

[HoustonCalling]

watching this at work, good times

[rcrook]

my prediction: tiger goes down with a knee injury on the 16th hole. he gets carried off and then wheel chaired to the trainers room, then 5 minutes later he returns and nails two hole in ones on the final 2 holes and wins the us open. he then beats out paul pierce by 1 vote to win the academy award for best actor.

[StuGrimson]

How the hell do you miss the fairway on a layup

[LeftWideOpen]

tough hole for tiger

[xbrokendownx]

who do you hate more stu, tiger or jason blake? haha

why do you hate tiger so much? i dont think i ever heard an explanation

pierce was stabbed 11 (elevennnnn) times and played twenty days later. this guy is no phony.

the only fake thing about the finals is the amount of press kobe gets for being such a "great team player and leader" now.

back to golf...that tiger punch outta the bunker was miserable.

most people who dislike tiger do so because of the way the media fawns over him.

yep, thats the other reason people dislike him.

so is anybody in san diego working today?

[loj]

rocco needs to take advantage of this...

[StuGrimson]

Its the NBC coverage that just kills it for me for Tiger even more, I can handle CBS broadcasts. NBC is the fox news of golf. Its Tiger this and that, I dont get to see hardly any shots from any other players. If Tiger hits a bad shot they have to make an excuse for him, it just pisses me off as a golf fan who loves to see golf not just 5 hours of Tigers biography.

So ya my hatred of Tiger Woods is mainly due to Johnny Miller and the fact that I love so many other golfers that the coverage pretty much refuses to show unless your name is Tiger or Phil (who I cant stand either)

[loj]

"he plays better with more of a happy face".

really?

[loj]

tigerrrrrrrr. what a putt.

wow

[WFUJerseyJon]

He's just too good.

[loj]

this is o-v-a ova.

[rcrook]

and tiger is starting to run away with it

[loj]

i hope rocco can work his way back in and make it interesting. he's such a solid guy...

[WFUJerseyJon]

Maybe Tiger will have a Mickelson-like 13th and Rocco can come back to make this thing interesting for the last 5 holes.

[loj]

welcome to bunkerville, population: Tiger.

[StuGrimson]

Rocco would have a chance if this tourny was being played on a local par 3 course

[we are cured]

you really think miller likes tiger? for some reason i get the vibe that miller hates everyone and secretly wishes for every golfer to fail, so that his 63 at oakmont looks even better.

[WFUJerseyJon]

Jesus Rocco, take advantage please!

[LeftWideOpen]

tiger is such a fucking baby sometimes.

stop throwing clubs you fucking brat. its a game

[Scott Weber]

I don't feel like slamming your clubs makes you a baby. just means you really play with emotion. from somebody who's thrown his fair share of clubs in tournaments, I can relate.

[we are cured]

i used to play with a kid that got so mad, he hammer-threw his putter as far as possible and it got stuck up in a 30 foot tree. he then threw his 3 iron to get it down, and that got stuck too.

[LeftWideOpen]

it shows no respect to the course or your opponent/paired players. its like a kid throwing a tantrum.

especially if you are a pro, you shouldn't be doing that shit. tiger dropping F bomb's everytime he doesnt hit it in the middle of the fairway is plenty of "passion" already.

[loj]

it shows no respect to the course or your opponent. its like a kid throwing a tantrum.

i would say doing it repeatedly is inappropriate. occasionally letting your emotions get the best of you is acceptable.

anywho, i think rocco will be up one after these next two.

[LeftWideOpen]

its going to happen to everyone once in a while, I understand that.

but Tiger does it just about every round.

[loj]

i hear ya.

tiger loves bunkers.

[LeftWideOpen]

ughhh, rocco in the bunker! so close to making the green

[loj]

oh my bad, that was rocco this time. i pretty much assumed it was tiger, lol

[Scott Weber]

i refuse to see anything wrong with that. he's not showing up anybody by getting upset with himself. he's not throwing putters on the green or tossing balls in the drink or anything, there is a big difference.

[loj]

great hit by tiger.

He smoked that

[WFUJerseyJon]

My feed keeps freezing/going out. This is getting real annoying.

[loj]

big putt here for tiger.

[deadstar]

it shows no respect to the course or your opponent/paired players. its like a kid throwing a tantrum.

especially if you are a pro, you shouldn't be doing that shit. tiger dropping F bomb's everytime he doesnt hit it in the middle of the fairway is plenty of "passion" already.
I agree. That commercial with his dad talking about his concentration and composure going. Then the next shot he hits he throws his club. Not the sign of concentration. Just being a baby.

[loj]

heyyyyy the lip finally disses tiger.

[StuGrimson]

Excellent!

[airik625]

well that sucked.

[loj]

well, an hour ago i said this was over. im eating my words and loving every bit of it. tiger in the rough again

[AtlanticRadio]

rocco!

[loj]

rocco indeed.

[airik625]

that was a fucking great shot by Tiger.

[loj]

holy crappppp. classic tiger.

[Scott Weber]

wow.

[CarlosLunes]

:-0

[AtlanticRadio]

This is fucking insane.

[StuGrimson]

Yes Rocco!!!!

[loj]

heyyy rocco. i've given up on trying to figure out what's gonna happen. both of these guys are unpredictable.

[airik625]

time for Tiger to match him.

[loj]

wowwww.

[airik625]

fuck

[gonz]

Here we go

[we are cured]

sets up for an awesome finish

[airik625]

I'm pumped to see how this finishes.

Will Tiger have another astonishing finish? or will Rocco win his first major and perhaps pull off one of the biggest upsets in major history.

[loj]

this would be quite the putt.

[loj]

ohhhhh man

[airik625]

holy shit, I thought that was going in.

[airik625]

are you fucking kidding me?

[loj]

oh my gooodnessss.

[airik625]

that has to be the worst feeling knowing it was within a couple inches of dropping in.

[StuGrimson]

Tiger hit that with his purse

[WFUJerseyJon]

Holy hell. That was almost incredible, that ball put on the brakes hard at the end.

[airik625]

Holy hell. That was almost incredible, that ball put on the brakes hard at the end.

Yeah, it looked like it stopped way too soon.

[WFUJerseyJon]

Yeah, it looked like it stopped way too soon.

Seriously, it looked like it was good and them it just came to a halt.

[airik625]

This putt is huge for Tiger.

[loj]

his knee seems ok today..

[airik625]

I just don't see Rocco losing this. But, it is Tiger, anything could happen.

[loj]

gahh dont speak so soon...tiger could eagle this..

[loj]

after the tee shots, im feelin a sudden death session...

[airik625]

gahh dont speak so soon...tiger could eagle this..

That's what I'm hoping for :-)

[airik625]

Tiger is clutch as hell, an eagle would not be too far out of the question.

I mean, it's not like he hasn't done it on this hole yet.

[loj]

exactly.

[loj]

tiger's caddy barely moves his lips when he talks.

[airik625]

jesus christ, fans have been waiting behind the 18th green since 6 this morning.

[loj]

yea, that's a tad ridiculous...and quite the gamble as well.

[airik625]

wow, that was a hell of a shot.

[airik625]

yes!

[loj]

ohhh man. that may have been it for roc

[Scott Weber]

wow. so rad.

[airik625]

sudden death here we go

[StuGrimson]

Time for some bonus golf

[loj]

man i was nervous for roc there

[deadstar]

I really hope Rocco wins. Such a nice guy.

[we are cured]

jesucristo

[rcrook]

lol who the fuck cares how much he eats and drinks in between holes? the dude is standing still and hitting a golf ball not running a 100 yard sprint.

[FondestMemory]

uh oh. mediate just hit a phil shot.

[loj]

ah man this is a crappy way to go out

[Drew Beringer]

Sudden death! Go Tiger!

[MyWorldEntire]

That might have been it for Rocco

[Drew Beringer]
