OMG did you see Ernie Els' 3putt this morning? Yikes

He looked totally lost out there ?

Anybody see Stenson snap his iron over his knee earlier today? His engine runs hot (i.e. not the first time he's done it).

Tiger is in the hunt!!

Personally, I'd love to see Sergio finally pull off a win at a major, but I just don't think it's ever going to happen for him.

Pretty cool that the Molinari brothers are both in the top 10 with the same score right now.

DeLaet finished at 1-under, nice to get into red figures with a birdie at 18.

What would be truly awesome would be for Garcia to beat Tiger in a playoff on Sunday

That was pretty sloppy. I guess he lost his concentration after clocking a fan with his drive.

I also see that John Daly is still sporting a mullet from the 80's.

Rory gets out of his relationship and starts and continues to play better.

Tiger has done nothing since his days running around with prawn stars.

Maybe golfers just play better single and crushing strange?

I seem to recall that when Freddy Couples was going through his divorce that there was a stipulation that his wife was entitled to half of his PGA Tour winnings for a 12 month period after the divorce was finalized. As I remember, Freddy has a terrible year on tour for that 12 month period. He lit it up the following year however.

lol - Yup, you might say there was a huge gap in his wedge play.

Speaking of golf, I was in the Outer Banks last week and got out and played three times. Carded my first eagle in a long time on a par 5 where I drove the ball a little over 300 yards, shot a long iron that missed the green left, and then chipped in from about 50 feet away. Ball hit the stick on the bounce, dropped right next to the cup, and spun in.

My best round was an 86, which would have been much better if I didn't three putt SIX fucking times and a FOUR-putt once. I hit 10 greens in regulation.... but had 43 putts. Fuck you, golf.

Speaking from personal experience, my golf game suffered tremendously as soon as I got married. Of course, I suppose you have to expect that when all of a sudden you're carrying an extra 130 pounds.

And speaking of Boom Boom, he's returning to Calgary later this summer...

Ernie Els was clearly rattled after hitting a spectator off the first tee earlier today:

HOYLAKE, England -- Ernie Els hit a spectator in the face with his opening tee shot at the British Open on Thursday, shaking up the two-time champion for the rest of his first round at Royal Liverpool.

The man's injury and Els' subsequent triple-bogey 7 on the first hole were just the start of his problems. The Big Easy will have a big task trying to stick around for the weekend after carding a 7-over 79, including 42 on the front nine.

Els said he was "quite rattled" after he realized the man, who he estimated was in his 60s, was bleeding profusely from a shot that Els said hit the spectator directly in the face.

"There was blood everywhere," Els said. "It was like a bullet coming at him. I obviously felt pretty bad about it. It wasn't nice. I was trying to hit it left, and should have told the starters to move the people back on the left side, but I didn't do that."

Els said he would make inquiries about the man's recovery. Tournament officials said the spectator was not seriously injured.

Well I just would have returned the lead clubs you got as a wedding gift. Sounds like murder on the shoulders.
