PGA Championship Pool

[HUBSTER]

10 guys within 1 stroke of the lead. That's crazy.

But maybe it's only actually 5. Because in professional golf math, sometimes 5 = 10.

She's the hottest looking WAG on tour.

Top 10 finish, dash? I thought most players wanted to win this thing. Now you know why I only watch the majors and the Ryder Cup. That said, we should have a barn-burner of a finish tomorrow.

Man, this has some some fun golf to watch - Only problem is I don't think they're gonna be able to finish today as they're running out of sunlight.

 

[pixburgher66]

This is some fun stuff. It'd be more fun if Fowler hadn't crapped his pants these past few.

 

[pixburgher66]

I talk crap on the guy and he hits some incredible shot from basically the fairway of 15 to the green of 16 (where he was supposed to be hitting the ball...). Then Lefty almost has a chip in birdie on 16, but rims out. This has been an incredible stretch here. Really hope they can finish it up tonight.

 

[pixburgher66]

Phil just went from a millimeter away from birdie to short putting a 7 footer and settling for a bogey. Rory alone at -15, with Rickie and Lefty at -14, oh, and Stenson.

 

[pixburgher66]

Really don't think they're going to get it in today. *maybe* 20 minutes of light, and 2 holes left.

 

[pixburgher66]

McIlroy gets a birdie on 17. And they're scurrying to finish 18. I think they're letting him skip ahead of another group too. Makes sense. He's the leader, let him get out of the way.

 

[pixburgher66]

Conditions the final group is finishing in. And Lefty missed an eagle to tie by about 3 inches.

 

[pixburgher66]

Two putt...in the dark...to win it.

 

[pixburgher66]

RORY! AGAIN! What a back 9 he just played.

 

[pixburgher66]

Again: crazy that they played in this.

 

[Stranger]

Congratulations to Canuck, eh? for picking the winner of the PGA Championship. In all fairness, my guy had the score I picked for him. That just left him six shots short of Rory.

Watch this space for the Ryder Cup pool, September 26-28.

In the meantime, answer this question: Does anyone think Eldrick will win another major? Just throwing out there for discussion.

Rory McIlroy -274

Congrats Nucko.

Didn't think the kid had it in him to win two in a row. Proved me wrong.

Yes...congrats Canucker! All Rory needs now is to win the Masters to join the elite list of career grand slam winners.

There's a reason that people say professional golfers are the toughest athletes in the world.


Seriously though, anytime you are watching guys play close to sunset/dusk, it always looks MUCH brighter on television than it actually is because they adjust the cameras to compensate. I've played before at that hour and you hit a tee shot and just guess at where it went - I can't imagine playing in a championship tournament in those kind of conditions, especially since visualization is so key in golf.

The pro's got a chance to see how it feels for Hackers who have to save $ and play twilight rates

Nope , and i surely hope to see him come agonizingly close a few times though

Tiger can't putt anymore and once you have the yips, they're hard to overcome. You never see Tiger vs. the field betting lines anymore (maybe we're on the verge of Rory vs. the field?)

I'd love to see Rory complete the slam by winning the Masters and U.S. Open next year and then Tiger's Wiki page get changed to say "Tiger Woods has completed the Rory slam."


Speaking of future US Opens, I can't wait for Chambers Bay in 2015. Totally going to that one.
