Official 2012 PGA Tour (non-majors) discussion thread - Page 60

I'm stunned. I thought having emerged victorious from the crucible that is the Chevron World Challenge Cup Championship of Sherwood, that Tiger was ready to dominate.

err Nick I don't think Bradley was trying to challenge the 320 yard carry bunker.. Perhaps he just hit a bad drive

I know it doesn't mean anything, but the higher seeds went 13-3 today.

Also, 6 out of the 7 remaining americans are on the Jones/Hogan side of the draw, so there's a pretty good chance of a US vs ROW final.

Won't be a total disaster for TV if that happens, still 3 of the 4 top seeds still in it. I mean, we're not talking a Kevin Sutherland vs. Scott McCarron final here.

Watney was a complete luckbox. Yeah, he's actually won on tour in the last couple years, but nothing like the Chevron World Championship Challenge Cup of Sherwood. Sometimes Tiger hits those putts too pure... Not to take anything from Watney.

I love Snedeker's putting routine. Always takes me surprise when he hits it so quickly, even tho I know he's going to do it.

If it wasn't for bad luck Tiger would have no luck at all imo.

I look at it this way, sure he waved at a 6 footer to extend the match-- but it wasn't for par. No way he makes bogey there. You know how he hates making bogey. He gets that look in his eye.

I can just see Ship raging right now, even though I know he agrees about the Chervon thing. That's what happens when you hitch yourself to the devil's wagon.

Say what you will about the toughest five par 5s in golf, greens rolling at 15, 40 MPH gusts, but you can't question the field or the will, 18 of the best of the best competing for 1.5 million and ranking points at the Sherwood Championship World Cup Chevron Challenge of Golf. That was a win for the ages.

To appease the masses, TGC should air a replay of the final round instead of live Accenture coverage.

The problem is the putts just aren't falling. He putts decent (not good) and he beats Watney 4&3. Clearly, his left-handed game is ready for the GOAT to GOAT.
