Not sure why anyone likes him..hes a prick. Anyone that openly roots for a fellow competitor to miss a putt. There is a reason those guys out there don't like the little sh*t. A trained monkey can putt better under pressure than him.

I'm a pretty big Lefty fan as well, and from what I hear him and his wife are pretty be pricks. Any truth to this?

He's a phony. Mickelson, Garcia and Greg Norman are the only 3 guys I have never cared for.

Yes! Someone should ask Conrad Dobler if Lefty is a phony.

Gotta do something to maintain his image. Many pro atheletes do such things...they just prefer to keep it quite and don't need the attention.

Nothing wrong with Phil, seems like a good guy and a class act to me. First time I heard of that story, a damn good gesture on his part.

To each his own of course.

Im done debating the merits of Phil. I know what I know and I am very comfortable in what I know.

All in all, he is an incredible talent on the golf course....no matter how much I dislike him.

I really hope that TW gets it rolling on the back 9 to make things interesting. What do you think he needs to be back in order for him to stand a legit chance tomorrow am. 6, 7, 8 back?

I liked Furyk's chances since it is somewhat playing like a US Open excluding the rough but now I like a Euro player to put on the Green Jacket Sunday evening.

Michael Thompson just called a 1 shot penalty on himself on the 15th green when his ball moved just ever so slightly after he grounded his putter.

How about that, that is what this game is all about and major props to him for being honest.

and it cost him winning low amateur too..... I actually had to do that to myself once in a high school tournament.

Stricker is playing like donkey a$$. Sigh.

This is where I come in to try to predict tournaments.After Thursday,and especially after Friday's round is the best time to bet golf.I have to say that the only guy I trust up there is still Tiger. I'm gunna guess the rest of the guys pretty much stay where they are,or fall back.Atleast he doesn't quit when he is struggling,and almost everyone else does.Think about it.If IMMELMAN GOES 72-74 ON THE WEEKEND,THEN TIGER CAN WIN IT WITH A 70 AND A 68.

I feel sorry for Dobler and the other players.
But Dobler was a complete sh it when he played.
He tried to hurt people.

The list of defensive lineman he tried to disable is
long. I mean who the hell would try to poke out the
eyes and bite the fingers off of a guy like Merlin Olsen?
Then tried to leg whip him numerous times almost ruining
Olsen's career. Olsen was known as a clean player that
never bad-mouthed other players. Just played hard and
clean. But he was too good for Dobler and Dobler knew
this.
People do big turnarounds. Dobler seems
like a noble fellow now. But he was damn dirty, dangerous
dirty. So its hard to figure exactly what goes through
this man's head.

I think Kev is spot on concerning Phil.
Only 2nd hand info, but credible.
Heck, maybe he has changed like Dobler.

It would be easier if it was IMMELMAN was the only player ahead of Tiger.
Quite a few people are going to have to crater. Is it still true that Tiger
has never won a major from behind the pack?

It is true. Not too many players out there would turn down 13 majors if they were all won in front running fashion.

It would look better if he just stayed about 2 strokes behind till the last day and charged past all winning by 6 strokes or so. So he is a need to lead horse in the big ones... I think Oracle was stuck on that.
