The PGA Championship (Oakland Hills)

[we are cured]

i was going to name the thread 'glory's last shot' but that sounds extremely truck-stop gay

karlsson leading at -4, after 13

[we are cured]

frank esposito jr. is at even par through 15...the espositos are a renowned local golf family. frank is currently the head pro at brooklake cc in florham park, nj.

[StuGrimson]

I didnt get my bets in on time for this one so I may have to do some head to head betting tomorrow.

Long tough course with supposedly fair greens. So I guess who can hit it deep and in fairways should win.

If you take putting out of the equation than I like guys like Vijay, Adam Scott, Anthony Kim and Sergio

Though Karlsson is the only guy with a top 10 in the previous 3 majors so there is no reason he cant win.

I think Stuart Appleby or Henrik Stenson take it.

[Broken Parachute]

Karlsson looked impressive. 5 birdies in 7 holes on the front 9. I like Sergio Garcia a lot, so I'm hoping he has a strong performance the rest of the way.

[FondestMemory]

i usually bet on tiger, but this time i took the field.

i'm liking my chances.

[SurfWaxKyle]

Harrington is looking real good. Coming off a strong finish at the British, started well here. We'll see how he continues to play.

[SurfWaxKyle]

I want to see Adam Scott win this though. I feel like if he finally wins one major, he'll get a few more in the coming years.

I want to see Adam Scott win this though. I feel like if he finally wins one major, he'll get a few more in the coming years.Ha, I'd be impressed if he could just contend in one first.

It's great to see Goosen playing well so far and he, Els, or Garcia winning would be the best case scenario.

Stu, you better really enjoy this last Tiger-free major for a while.....

my cousin who is a chef at oakland hills country club got into like a 15 minute argument with me saying that the rider cup was coming this year and the pga championship was a couple years ago lolololololololol.

[AShannon04]

I'm going on Sunday. Can't wait.

my cousin who is a chef at oakland hills country club got into like a 15 minute argument with me saying that the rider cup was coming this year and the pga championship was a couple years ago lolololololololol.Now there's someone who takes a real interest in their work.

I'm going on Sunday. Can't wait.I'd love to go to a major during the final round. I've only been during practice rounds and then one third round.

[AShannon04]

sounds like kbauer was wrong, no?

[nfggc10]

sounds like kbauer was wrong, no?Ha yeah I read that wrong. I think I was more impressed that he knew there was an event there a few years back though even if it was the wrong one.

Haha no I wrote that backwards. Turst me while Im a very casual golf fan (usually only watch the majors) I know that the pga championship is in town.

[AShannon04]

oh ok

[Burning Star IV]

Mike Weir better pull some birdies outta his ass or he's gonna get cut.

[StuGrimson]

I imagine if he gets to 6 over he will definately make the cut, even where he is now at 7 over has a chance with so many afternoon guys still yet to tee off.

Glad I didnt put any money on this or I would have got destroyed.

[Burning Star IV]

Stephen Ames isn't doing any better either. Damn Canadians can't golf.

[LeftWideOpen]

sergio has a 1 shot lead on curtis. harrington and stenson are hanging around, too.

everyone else is out of it at this point.

[we are cured]

the tables have turned here...sergio has company in both harrington and curtis.

stenson imploded...harrington just bogeyed and sergio made par on 14. let's see if he can stay together for once. i still like harrington though.

[LeftWideOpen]

sergio hitting the flagstick was nuts

[LeftWideOpen]

curtis takes back a share of the lead.

[LeftWideOpen]

sergio is in the water!

wow. what a choke job.

[StuGrimson]

3 way tie now. Have to think Harrington is the least likely to choke so he should take it.

[LeftWideOpen]

Is Harrington considered the 2nd best golfer in the world, right now, if he takes this?

I think he's passed Mickelson.

[LeftWideOpen]

Harrington with a brilliant shot on 17 and Sergio one-up's him.

what a finish this will be.

[LeftWideOpen]

....and sergio chokes again.

[preppyak]

Sergio has to hit a 10ft putt...uh, dude can't hit a 4 footer...he's out

[preppyak]

wow...what a putt there...and Padraig wins it

[captainhampton]

Worlds Number 2!! clutch.

[preppyak]

of course not...no way Sergio makes that putt under pressure anyway

[StuGrimson]

Man Harrington was sinking everything today and as usual when Sergio needs to make putts he misses them.

[AShannon04]

Had a blast at the tourney today. A little rain here and there, but overall, it's a great golf course to watch from.

Congrats to Paddy, although I really like Sergio and would have loved to see him win it.

if sergio doesn't put it in the drink he should be in a playoff. the bogey on 18 was pretty bad too but harrington had already made the clincher, so i'll give him a pass on that one.
