Woody/Ells....share second

1. Tiger was making me very nervous

Woody & Ernie made a spectacular run at it. I was rooting for Tiger though...I think everyone wants to see him break Jack's record. :D

[opihimoimoi]

3. Yup, me too... Unless somethin happens to Tiger...in a few years, he will beat Jacks record

The guy is a machine.....rip him open and you will see gears and rods....

22. The only things that could "happen" to Tiger

are injuries and marriage!

2. I had a ticket given to me by the people I flew in from Chicago, but being it was 102 degrees

I came home and watched on TV. Nice and cool. :-)

[opihimoimoi]

4. PGA Heat record at 102....Tiger was melting but hanged on with his claws...

[karlrschneider]

5. That he did. Gotta admire him for it, no doubt.

6. Tiger Woods has got to be the most phenomenal athlete of all time.

He's not just pretty good or pretty lucky he's the best thing to ever happen to the game of golf.

[XOKCowboy]

8. Most phenomenal GOLFER maybe...

Let's not go overboard here.

[BlooInBloo]

9. Yup. That's asinine...

... Just part of the standard American-lowering-the-bar behavior.

[opihimoimoi]

16. He inspired thousands of kids with his stories of starting at 2 years old...

7. Do they split the second-place money or get a duplicate of it?

11. With a two way tie for second

they combine 2nd and 3rd place money and split it.

10. Woods was amazing this weekend. Els was on FIRE most of today, but he

just had too much ground to make up. If he'd been PERFECT and shot a 63 like Tiger the other day, he could have forced a playoff, but he missed one or two putts and that was that.

Pretty incredible to see the best in the world at something performing at their peak, doing their thing.

A worthy challenge from Woody Austin and Els, but too little too late. I didn't know that Austin used to be a bank teller. Cool.

Also (on edit) Ames folded faster than Superman on laundry day, sheesh! Two hooked drives right out of the gate and that was all she wrote.

13. I knew that Scott Verplank would wilt--and not just from the heat.

There was a commercial for a Tiger Woods video game where his partner is about the shoot and starts trembling as if his club where a jackhammer. It didn't run for very long--I suspect that the PGA asked Tiger to put a stop to it!

17. We all figured Ames would wilt but a string of early boogeys....My hero Ells did all he could muster

but had to settle for a ties 2nd...not bad top ten finish...his last was sveral years ago...

Woody had his ops but lost it all when his short putts failed.....

[rocktivity]

23. DING DING DING! Mayberry Machiavelli, you're our grand prize winner!

Els was on FIRE most of today, but he just had too much ground to make up.
Tiger won by TWO strokes, and when HE'S on fire, that's WAY too much ground to make up! On any OTHER given Sunday, Els probably would have won.

12. So, is it over? Will all these people go home now?

So I can drive to work and arrive on time without having to deal with all the out-of-state PGA fans clogging my route? :)

15. Had the same problem when Tiger played in New Jersey last year

There were actually signs along Route 78 warning that there would be delays due to the tournament there!

24. Same here

We had a lot of new official city signs up around the course they were playing at directing people where to park.

14. How about that 62-1/2 on Saturday.

That 62nd shot was halfway in the hole, ringed the cup 270 degrees, then robbed him of the PGA record for lowest score in a tournament round. Damn!

[opihimoimoi]

18. The guy is a friggen MACHINE but that missed putt was his human side I guess

[napi21]

19. Tiger is terrific! I only wish all athletes were as happy, friendly and

had Tiger's personality! Even on the rare times when he gets mad at himself, he's a nice guy.

[opihimoimoi]

20. His concentration was such there were no smiles till the 18th fairway

Then when it appeared victory was in hand....the Tiger smile emerged.

[napi21]

21. I admit, I'm not a golfer and never watch the game except for the

final few minutes when it pre-empts 60 Minutes, but I've always been able to catch the Tiger win in those few minutes. He's a GREAT GOLFER bit he's also a really good man.
