Anybody interested or will we all be following BuckeyeT's quest for 2 in a row in his Championship? Of course unfortuneately the Ryder Cup will be on TV while you'd have to travel to Wilmington NC to see the BuckeyeT's big match! One thing that stood out for me, is look at the number of rookies that the Euro's have on their team. Sort of a changing of the guard for them this year. Might work to our advantage. I personally am hoping for a singles match between Tiger and Rory McElroy!
Come on down.....but you'd better bring an ark - tickets are much cheaper to our event and drinks are on me! Rory, meet Stephen Ames.....!
Looks like coverage starts at 2:30 AM Friday morning. That's a little earlier than I get up and a lot later than I go to bed.
BT Club Tournament not the only big tournament this weekend dealing with rain. Ryder Cup rained out. What's worse is the rain gear that the Americans bought from Sun Mountain didn't work and they had to ditch them and go to the merchandise tent and buy new rain gear for the players and caddies. How embarassing.
I hate hearing that Ole' sh!t.....a recurring nightmare it seems. God bless Ricky Fowler! Are you kidding me? 21 yr old rookie, down 3 with 3 to play????? That was some golfing your ball under incredible pressure..... Hunter Mahan? Seriously Hunter? Seriously? Graeme McDowell, great roll on 17....I like the guy, he is a gamer.....enough with the ole' sh!t......fook 'em.
Too bad we didn't show up to play the day before, the Euro's wiped us out in the team matches, that was too much to overcome. My nephew played Ricky Fowler in the B12 Championship 3 years ago at a course in Texas called Whistling Pines. I was following that day, you could tell that Fowler had a big future, nephew did pretty well it wasn't match play but stoke play and I think Fowler got him a stroke. He hadn't developed his "unique" style of dressing then...he was forced to wear Ok.State gear! Congrats to the Euros. I was glad to see Tiger take apart Francesco Molinari, I mean I'm sure somebody had to explain to Tiger who Francesco was and that he wasn't the waiter!
Don't forget Stewart Cink who played someone just a little younger than Tom Watson. Cink had a very makable putt on 17. If he makes we win the Cup. He also had a similar putt to Fowler on 18 that he missed. He seems to be getting a pass while everyone wants to blame Mahan. Kudos to Steve Tricker who drew a damn tough opponent and hung in there for the win. Tiger had a good competition. He really smoked Molinari today 7 birds and an eagle in 14 holes! Wow. Loopy ran into a hot and lucky Donald. Donald managed to get up and down from the shore on 15 when his ball should have gone swimming. Time and again he dropped putts from outside Furyk's ball. Still Loopy hung in there and almost caught him. Tivoed the who day's action. Just finished watching it an hour ago.
You're right about Cink....he absolutely screwed the pooch Mahan-like no question about it.....Tiger was all over it and you had to love the kid Fowler.
I forgot the worst hole Cink played. He's leading by 1 at the 15th and drives the green. McIlroy misses the green but gets up and down for bird. Cink 3 jacks and loses the hole :!: Just terrible.
Jose Maria Olazabal is being talked about as the next Capt for the Euros if he is healthy. I haven't heard any names yet for the US side. Jose certainly had a great career in the Cup, I hope he's healthy enough to take the position.
O'meara would be a good choice....wonder if there would be any "team" issues given that he and Tiger are such good buds? I like him personally...what about Trevino? Speaking of Trevino, I played with a guy this weekend that played with Lee in a pro-am years ago....said he was a great guy on the 1st, 9th, 10th and 18th holes - whenever he had to be "in character", but an absolute dick the rest of the time! Interesting if true....
I've heard stories like that too. Have a close friend that played in the Disney a few years. The ams would have a lottery and choose their pairings for the first 3 days. The guy that always was picked last was Curtis Strange. The 2 golfers my buddy liked best were Payne Stewart and John Daley.
