Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
The course set up is fair and challenging this year ! Hope Tiger continues to play well. Bubba and Phil kind of choked yesterday. Today should be interesting.
Would like to see Ernie Els hold it together with his flat stick and get one more major.
Ernie would be good. But many could win it. Tiger played well the first 2 rounds, but yesterday he hit a couple of shots that were simply horrible. He has never come from behind on Sunday to win a major and I can't see him doing it today either.
I can't stand watching Jim Furyk's swing but I like him and it is hard to argue with the results.

Ill root for him a bit to maybe catch a glimpse of his mother. She looked pretty easy on the eyes as she was walking in the scorers room with him. How many times has a mother done that at a PGA tour event?

Johnny Miller is the worst analyst in sports television. The most critical, ill informed, and generally obnoxious talking head on tv. He makes it sound like he could walk onto the course and shoot 65. He seems to forget that he basically had to retire from golf because of one of the worse case of the yips ever. Couldn't look at a two foot putt without throwing up on his shoes.
Other than that I enjoyed the tournament.
FinanceDude said:It wasn't the yips so much as his bad back. He also said Tiger would win after his first 36. He is a Tiger honk and many are, but Olympic is not a good Open Course for Tiger's game. Pebble Beach, yes.........Olympic, no............
Miller was certainly a 70s generation player so my memories are dim, but I remember him pulling a rabbit out of a hat in 1994 winning at Pebble Beach. Maybe I have listened to him too much, but it seems like he isn't as critical of the tour players as he was in the past. He certainly is still the "expert" though.

FinanceDude said:There are some good accounts of Miller's prowess as a golfer. He lived in Jack's shadow much like Mikkelson lives in Tiger's. He was at one time one of the greatest iron players. Literally, his shots would end up inches from the cup. He knew the yardages so well he didn't need his caddy half the time. I like Johnny, he is much better than the wannabees like Jim Nance. David Feherty is my all-time favorite!
