They still do. The announcers are fawning all over him after regular shots; not even good ones. They are practically begging for his putts to go in. And if they show you the leader board and let's say six people are tied at -8, guess which name goes to the top of that list when Woods is involved.
That was shocking. Reminded me of me.
Didn't notice it. But I hate slow play. Reid is one of my favorite players though so I probably would have given him a pass on that; especially at the last hole where he's trying his hardest to make a top 10 finish.
Not gonna lie, it felt really good inside to see him blast that easy chip 20 feet past. Rory and DJ destroyed him yesterday.
Lot of people feel that way but I absolutely love the guy with his grit and his "Me against the world" attitude. Its because of that attitude that we finally won a Ryder Cup. I wish more of the American touring pros had that much fire.
He does. Its a uniquely American oddity that fans believe that because they've latched on to a winner that somehow they are a winner too because of it. Its creepy. I've always rooted for the under dog unless its my team or a person I've always followed; consequently Nicklaus and Woods were guys I always rooted against once they got on top.
I remember years ago in the President's Cup that Woods had to make a 10 footer in the dark to tie Ernie Els so that the U.S. could retain the Cup. I remember thinking "there is no one else in the world I would want taking this putt". He was that good. Damned if he didn't make it too. He was great.
Golf is a strange game. The way I see some people behaving on the course on the weekend makes me wonder "If they hate the game this much, why do they play?"
