| "The question is do think Tiger will WIN the British Open,I think "HELL NO".Why people might be asking,well here's the facts.Tiger Woods is the number 1 golfer in the world because of one reason only.He has won more tournaments in his own country than anyone,as soon as he go's somewhere else he very very very rarly win's.To me World number "1" ranking should be given to the best player for the year on a world curcit tour." _________________________ _______________________ God don't you love people who haven't got a bloody clue!!!! World.......To start off with the world rankings are based on points awarded in tournaments played The points are based on the strength of the field and the position placed in each tournament The USPGA has on a weekly basis the greatest depth of class in the fields of each Tournament Secondly Tiger has played 50 times outside of the USA He has WON 22 Times That is a win % of 44% He has a BETTER winning % outside of the USA than on the PGA tour where he has played 253 events for 71 wins ....28% 44% is hardly what you would class as very very very rarely winning but of course you may set a higher standard? So mate before you engage your mouth through your typing finger... my suggestion is to engage your brain 1st and find out the facts TWIT!!! |

| To Peenpong: Hi Mate how are you,Sorry I haven't been around,I've been working off-shore for awhile.In what text do you mean "Golf Etiquette" is that the whole question ?,because I'am just learning to use the commputer,I can't find the original question.Thanks for asking any way. |

| worldmenu Where are you? Do you know the answer to my question on Golf Etiquette? What are your thoughts on Sundays final round? Woods did not win! Michelson played very well. Harrington... he is like the Murray of Tennis ? Talk to me |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| What the hell is your point after all that drivel? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| First we have to look at how Tiger became one of the best golfers in history. As you all know it all came down to hard work and passion for the game, also discipline and mental power which are key elements to winning. I guess every professional golfer in majors now have learned from that and are training and preparing to match the skills of Tiger. We are always going of stats but lose the importance of Will and Will overcomes Skill and Tiger has the Will to win and so do the other players. Who ever is willing to win will overcome the skill of any player including Tigers. So to the Question is Tiger going to win the British Open is hard to say, because who ever trained and prepared themselves mentally and physically for that Major will be the Champion. And it can be anyone, but who? Who is willing to win? who has the stamina to go the distance? The answers is up to the players themselves... |

| Hello Phil Just read that Ying Yang will again meet Woodsie at the Shanghai Competition.. Should be good to watch.... Hope you are managing to squeeze in a round of golf these days... |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| What racism labelling someone "Ying Yang", as well as a total lack of awareness of world cultures. Ying Yang is Chinese and the guy who won yesterday is Korean, so calling him "Ying Yang" has absolutely no relevance whatsoever. Please keep your racist taunts off the board. Kind regards, Sushi |

| Hello Phil Have only just read this post of yours. In fact I have just asked a question you may be able to reply to for me re Woods behaviour whilst playing with Ying Yang yesterday (whether you saw it or not) the two questions are applicable.... be interested to hear your point of view... Yes, Ying Yang (I like putting names to people!!) played really well, and showed no signs of nervousness when he hit a bad shot or putt.. a very good sign.... Woods is showing signs of arrogance on the course... dont care for that much... I think it will become apparent before the end of this year as to whether Woods has seen his best days. Maybe you can grab a round of golf whilst you are the other side of the country!!! |

| I think that so far 2009 season will be remembered as a heartbreaker to the Golf diehard. Starting with the Masters, Kenny Perry has a 2-shot lead in a bid to become the oldest major champion ever...only to then run out of gas !! Then the U.S. Open, the great stories around Phil and David Duval tied for the lead with a couple holes to go.....and then they bogey 17 and so Lucas Glover truimphs !!! Now the British......everyone's hoping for Tom Watson and he's one safe second shot away from a British Open......and bogeys the last and subsequently loses the playoff. Nothing against the winners. They're all great players. But darn it .....every one of those had a fairy tale ending in the making taken away from us at the end. Especially the British Open !!! What do others feel about this ? I'd like tom know. |

| Phil Thanks for the hoover comment... ha ha It does open up The Open though doesnt it.. What are your thoughts on who could be in with a chance? |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| He had a serious knee operation last year and I'm convinced he's still not recovered no matter what he tells the public. He hasn't recovered from it yet. It feels okay sometime and that's when he plays well. Other times, it's not so good and then he sucks like a twenty year old Hoover. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 3.07.2009 I posted.. have a read There is something wrong and it is apparent now. Sorry Pejon but he wont be there on Sunday.. for The Open final nine holes |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The Pejon curse: Tiger even after 7 +7 after 12 He has only mised 5 cuts in his entire Pro career. However at Turberry in the last 2 days there seems to something fundamentally wrong in the thinking side of things He was swinging the club beautifully in practice rounds. What I have seen in the last 2 days reminds me of the last cut he missed at the 2006 US Open He just doesn't appear to be there mentally. Don't be surprised if there is more than meets the eye here Anyway this Open is really starting to warm up and links golf is still bloody awesome LOL |

| I think they way this 2nd round is going that if he finishes even or better after 54 holes he will be way back in it. Steve marino will be in the club house at 5 under but he will leak oil in round 3 or 4 Tiger will be 3 off 2nd and really competing This Championship is shaping up to be stunning over the final 36 YEE HAA |

| Tiger has not played himself out of it. However, he will need to shoot 67 or 66 for him to get himself back in a good position. He didn't play a terrible round, but he should of had 2 under. He got robbed on the 15th when his tee shot was just a few yards short of being golden. That was a birdie for him in my mind. Also there is no excuse for him not getting a birdie on the par 5. Tiger had some bad swings on the back 9, but other than that he was putting together a good opening round. If tiger can get his problem fixed for tomorrow and shoot a good round he will get himself back in good position. Another thing to consider is the weather. It is expected to get worse the next few days. Its possible the field could come back to tiger a little in the bad weather. It will get more difficult for people to score well. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| K.J. Choi.ROFLMAO, you should have got 50/1 for making the cut i reckon. He needs very wide fairways & greens for him to shoot good scores. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Well that is about the worst I have seen Tiger swing the club since his comeback and yet he got away with only a 71. He just seemed to want to crush everything! He swung with no control. His tee shot at the 3rd was a perfect example of that! Mind you his iron of the tee at 9 was almost fat. But i think the shot that summed up tigers round was the 2nd at 16. you could hit that shot at the left edge of the green and it would kick right and be 2 putts at worst away. Mind you I guess no one plays continually great golf. You have to throw a bad round in every so often. Woods could have shot MUCH worse than a 71 today. He shoots 65-67 tomorrow and he is back in the hunt. |
