2014 PGA Golf

[stevestevens]

Have been off the boards for a bit but here is an interesting article:

 

Vijay's lawsuit

https://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nbc-yahoo-sports/speculation-will-lead-to-scrutiny-of-dustin-johnson-s-leave-140745208-golf.html

"In November 2013, Singh, who is suing the Tour over his suspension, which was later lifted, filed a motion in New York Supreme Court asking for any information “related to any positive tests by any golfer for any substance listed as a banned substance under the program, (and) any discipline imposed,” including anything related to a “possible or actual violation of the program,” by five current or former Tour players, including Johnson."

 

I wonder who the other five players are?  You would assume that one of the five would have to be Tiger

This tweet:

Not a huge secret either that #DustinJohnson had affairs with 2 wives of PGA Tour players. One broke up the marriage.

It will be interesting to see how DJ comes back from all this

An older article but it states that the Euro Tour does not do testing

This will be interesting to see how those players react when they get to go to the Olympics in a couple of years.

Made Watson's decision a lot easier.

 

He might be done.

 

 

Tiger just showed up to play at the PGA.....it will be very interesting to see that guy play.

 

I hope Watson goes with Phil, Keegan, and Ryan Moore as his picks.  I wouldn't mind Tiger but his back is clearly a problem.  

[Adam]

BTW - not sure if I got hacked or what, but I can't get into my yahoo account and haven't been able to make picks for weeks...

 

I don't see how Tiger plays this week errr makes it through the week.

 

Hopefully anything that potentially comes out about Tiger is Prescription Pill related and not steroids related.

I am sure Anthony Kim is one of them.

Tiger got thru his war ups and practice round without incident and will tee off tomorrow.

As for the Ryder Cup, a commentator brought up a valid point about Tiger being physically able to play 36 holes in one day, if necessary. They were also speculating that he simply needs to get out there and play, play, play if he wants to be added to the team. Greensboro kept getting mentioned as a "be there or else" kind of tournament.

if I were a captain I would not put Tiger in foursome play anyway right now.  He would strictly be a two ball player.

Tiger is not smart.  Dude just needs to take time off and get healthy.

 

Some guys don't know how to stay on the sidelines.

[Tank]

the best thing Tiger has going for him is that he's Tiger Woods. if this were 2002, that would be enough. unfortunately, it's 2014.

 

he should not push to be on the ryder cup team, and watson shouldn't pick him. he hasn't played enough to help the team, and his game and mystique are no longer the same.

racists

[stevestevens]

racists

 

 

whatever Lou, I am cheering for all the other African Americans in the field this week.

[Lou]

I have $$ on Lee Elder

[Lou]

Jimmy Walker is tied for the lead!

DY-NO-MITE!!!

[stevestevens]

David Chappelle's brother takes the early lead at -5

[fan_since79]

Chappell's 76-foot bunker shot on 10. Are you kidding me?!

[fan_since79]

Westwood with a great finish, five birdies in his final six holes.

and he'll shoot a 76 before sunday.

Jason Duffner withdraws on #10 with a neck injury. Very uncertain of when he'll play again.

Yep. Another ryder cup guy very likely gone. Crazy to think at the start of the year we would not be playing with dj, tiger, and duf...... Geez this could get ugly

[Tank]

Kuchar withdrew also. i think it's his back.

[fan_since79]

What's with all the injuries? Players swinging harder?

[fan_since79]

Another bad start for Tiger, +4 today through seven holes.

 

3-putted from 18 feet for a double bogey, and two other bogeys.

[nate]

He is visibly in pain too.  Like I said, he is an idiot.  Should be taking time off.

[fan_since79]

Angel Cabrera withdrew after his 82 yesterday. I think that might be his worst round ever on the tour.

[Tank]

rory, wow.

[nate]

Going back to the whole drug suspension issue... I wonder if Jason Day was one of them.

 

I think Rory is going to take off today and end up winning this by a good margin.

 

Love that Ricky and Day are also in it.  Annoyed that Furyk is.
