I must admit, i don't watch much golf, but lately have been tuning in. This weekend was unreal how tiger was playing. The shots he made were amazing. I'm no golf fan, but a sports fan, and can only enjoy watching an athlete of this caliber. Its something we may not see for a long time again.

Just the opposite here in the States. It's on ESPN now, and switches to NBC in 2 hours.

Mediate down 1 after 2 holes.

habernac · 06-16-2008, 10:30 AM

Mediate almost aces the third!

I like the way you think!

Boblobla · 06-16-2008, 10:49 AM

I want to go home so I can watch this now.

troutman · 06-16-2008, 10:57 AM

Get In The Hole!

Machiavelli · 06-16-2008, 10:57 AM

Mediate is totally screwed on the 5th hole.

Sylvanfan · 06-16-2008, 10:58 AM

Holy crap Mediate hits a double cart path bouncer out of the bunker on 5. Looks like it could be another 2 shot swing here or more.

Thanks for the updates - just watching the leaderboard doesn't give an idea what is really happening.

So Rocco bogied #5 - judging by earlier comments, did he do well to save the bogie?

troutman · 06-16-2008, 11:21 AM

Tiger has one shot lead after 6.

He's the best. He works his ass off to be the best. Be mad at his opponents in that they need to kick it up a notch. I hate it when the good athletes are disliked simply because they've worked harder and they play better.

He is absolutely the best player ever but really no one else really gets mad. You see players miss big shots all the time but the keep their cool. I'm sure Mediate wanted to kill himself yesterday for missing a few short putts but he's still smiling and playing with the crowd. Tiger is always sulking.

I've also heard stories of him talking down to reporters and never signing autographs while other players are nice and sign for hours.

Most of you know that I like big teams and big players and usually make the argument that you shouldn't hate someone just because they're good. I usually cheer for the favorite to steamroll over the underdog. In this case, I don't particularly like him but it has been a pleasure to watch him this weekend. Let's see if there are anymore dramatics today!

Yes, he made a beautiful shot to have a chance to par it.

For those who are watching at home on TSN, I just saw a press release from TSN saying that at 2pm ET, they are switching the US Open to the TSN alternate feed and will continue to broadcast it there. There is a EURO game that is scheduled to air. tsn.ca is also carrying it.
