they weren't in the final group so it didnt really matter

Well, it would have been outrageous if they were the last group. As it was, I think it was a bit weird. It's mostly about what Tiger wants, if he wants to wait then so be it-- but why wait if you are just gonna do that.

I briefly tuned into the golf channel during the break between coverage and they were giving Wi ZERO chance of winning even though he was T-2 at the time and only a shot or two back. It was pretty annoying, they just said welp, Wi and Duke are both old dudes in their 40s, this was inevitable, moving on (never mind that Phil is their age too).

Granted, the skull**** brought on by a four putt on the first hole can often infect the rest of a round, but he was written off a bit early. He more than likely wins if not for Phil. After he was completely written off I was hoping he'd pull it out.

Never mind,this was already covered. I have played 5 or 6 times with romo and he's a legit scratch. That's all. Good....but, well, nah a scratch sucks. But that's been covered too.
I'm gonna need to see newspaper cut Outs to believe "a lot".

All I know is those greens at Pebble sure are small.

Romo is also 6'3 225 and playing a 6300 yard golf course, easy game.

I'll have my mother fax em over to HQ

way to make a 5 feel horrible

Tremendous round by Phold. Not quite as good imo as the 64 DL3 shot on Sunday at Sawgrass years ago, but damn good.

Tiger...got some work to do still.

Oh, and props to Jessica Korda winning at Royal Melbourne today.

Wow, out of the house all day and people start posting. Mostly idiotic stuff, but better than nothing.

And by the way, all you idiots complaining about the 30 minute break between TGC coverage and CBS, it's been that way for years. Let me repeat that, for YEARS. YEARS!!

See, golfers already knew this, because they watch regardless of who's playing. Must just be the Tiger followers that had no clue.

And yes, college basketball delaying things sucks.

But the story is, Phil played unbelievable and deserved to win. Of course when the nuthuggers and media are done with it, all that matters is Tiger played poorly in the last round.

BO

yea, might as well kill yourself if you're not on the plus side

I used to watch a ton of golf, and I remember the 30-60min breaks, but to me it just seems a bit silly. Why can't TGC lead all the way up to the CBS broadcast? Don't really understand why that isn't the norm.

Actually, I don't think it's been years because I think the 90 minutes of additional weekend coverage on TGC only began 2-3 seasons ago, tops. They may have had some additional coverage for semi-major events like the Players, but the added coverage for ALL tour events is a new thing, at least if I recall right.

Anyway yeah, today's incredible amount of whining and "someone post names and numbers of executives of the networks so we can let them know how we feel" when this is hardly a new phenomenon was very lol.

BTW pretty sure there is no break when the transition is from the TGC --> NBC because they're the same property. During last year's match play they were simulcasting during the transition between some matches.

obviously phil's putting was sicko good today and something to behold

hope he stays away from the belly for good now..that little baby players blade with the white grip is dope as ****

was only able to watch for a few minutes. I was impressed by Tiger's interview after the round. In the past he would have blown it off. This time he stopped and was gracious with his answers.

Speaking of post round interviews, I have always been impressed with Phil's willingness to do an interview even after crushing losses or meltdowns. To me that shows much character. To the haters it just means that Phil is a shameless media/attention whore.

This is something that I can totally understand people being annoyed by.

How can I say that about Tiger? Because I've played with plenty of people who do the same thing and it's ****ing annoying as hell.

"Cut! CUT!!! CUUUUUTTTT!"

Bro, the ball isn't cutting at all. stfu and move on to the next shot for christs sake.

Tiger gets a bit more leeway of course since he's the GOAT, but still I can't argue with anyone who dislikes him because of this.

So your argument for why people shouldn't be complaining about the half hour break is that it's been like that for a long time? That's a horrible "argument" if I've ever seen one. Lots of dumb things have been done for a long time, that doesn't mean people shouldn't question and attempt to change those things. (slavery, anyone?)

And lol at all non-Tiger fans remembering the half hour break between golf channel coverage and cbs coverage.

Only losers like you who have so little going on in their lives would remember such a trivial piece of information.

Idiot!

This has been going on for years! YEARS!!!

Damn, forgive us for wanting to watch the final round right through when the guys in contention are on the course. IIRC, Phil made eagle during all of this. What a bunch of whining gits we are. You didn't whine, you are OK with it happening. Good for you!

loved being able to watch the entire round on golf channel/cbs....tiger never got comfortable out there it seemed, and Phil was dead on all day. congrats to Phil for winning for the 40th time on tour, baller.

This. Let's say you guys owned the Golf Channel. Would you want to create a seamless transition for your competition? Furthermore, they might not be allowed to by CBS. For the exact opposite reason. Would you want your competitor to air all the action and then you have no mystery lead in to your telecast? I know I was wanting to see Phil's eagle putt but TGC couldn't air that as it was CBS footage.

Golf fans just want to watch live golf. Yeah, it's only a 30min break but it's completely ******ed. Just wouldn't happen in any other sport.

Yeah, this is right (as well as the point about NBC). BO, trying to be an ass like normal, was wrong once again.

I would rather just have coverage straight through (at least for days like yesterday), but if I am choosing between the old way (coverage from 3-6 and that's it) and the way it works now it's a no brainer.

Anyway, as a Tiger fanboi, I was shocked at how yesterday went. He hit it plenty well enough to contend, but the putting was atrocious. 5 misses from 5 feet or less, not gonna get it done.

Great round by Phil though. Hit it mostly great and then rolled in some unbelievable putts. What did they say on the broadcast, 140 feet through 15 holes? Crazy.

There was more wrong Sunday than just his putting. Phil playing in the shadows of Tiger all those years 40 wins is huge

Not really much bad wrong outside of putting actually. He hit over 70% of fairways (more than Phil) and while his GIR % was only 50, it's a bit misleading. His iron/wedge play wasn't sharp, but it wasn't "shoot 75 bad". Three or four balls on fringes, a layup from a FW bunker, etc. The missed greens on 14/15 were awful though.

His putting strokes gained on Sunday was -5.228. Phil's was +4.779. That's over 10 shots right there.

Look, no doubt he wants to hit it better then he did on Sunday. But just an average putting round with the ballstriking he had and he shoots 70 and the tournament is completely different.
