Hopefully Phil & Tiger will still be playing in the same group for you.  Of course, that would be total mayhem trying to follow them.

Oh yea, and go Tiger!  :)

  Some of the best golf I have watched in quite awhile!!   Tiger makes some of the most amazing shots under pressure!!  The sand shot on 16/17, to land inside of Rocko yesterday, incredible.

I like Tiger and don't root against him. I love how he's basically lapped the field of golf. It’s as if he's an athlete and the rest are just golfers. In the end though I found myself kind of rooting for Rocco Balboa to beat Tiger Creed.

 I was rooting for him as well, I always like the underdog.   Thought it was funny after Tiger made that shot out of the sand, Rocco just shaking his head like OMG he did it again??  ;D   He is just so dependable when he has to make a shot that counts under pressure it just blows my mind!

  Like the put on 18 for the playoff on Monday.

Hopefully Tiger's knee is good enough to allow him to compete in The Open next month and the PGA in August.  Would love nothing more than to see him win both for his 15th & 16th major.

It was a great tournament. The atmosphere was electric being there in person. Most of the fans were really pulling for Rocco. I'm not a Tiger hater but I was pulling for Rocco myself. It's too bad he couldn't have pulled it off at the age of 45. What a bummer.......

I'm not a Tiger hater either, but some of the fans that he draws around him are the dumbest of the dumb. If you could watch an event from the 80's you wouldn't hear "In the hole" yelled on every shot.  Only Tiger fans would yell that on a tee shot of a par 5.  Tiger has been a regular at the Memorial tournament that I go to every year. I actually hope for rain so that the gallery areas are muddy.  If they would allow me to bring a video camera, I'd be a $10,000 winner on America's Funniest Videos watching the drunken Tiger fans falling on their butts and spilling their beer on the hills around the 18th green.
