Official 2013 PGA Tour FEDEX CUP Discussion Thread - Page 148

watching on tivo, and not sure if stenson going to play that chip from the green (apron between his ball and the hole).

wouldn't he be better to just wait till tomorrow? any pin placement is likely to be better than that for him. who's to say tomorrow's pin won't be 10-12 feet from where his ball is now.

i'm assuming all players would give some consideration as to where tomorrow's pin may be. not sure if there's huge repitition on pin placement for each sunday or not.

but surely tomorrow's pin placement would be better for stenson than the one he's aiming for now.

Oh. My. Gosh.

Tiger probably got just a tiny bit lucky that play was suspended. He was a fraction off today; he can regroup overnight and possibly play the rest of his 3rd round better than he would have. /speculation

The pin would be in the same location tomorrow morning for him. They'd move the pins prior to Round 4.

No real surprise nobody understands the Sergio thing, he's got every right to be irritated with what transpired. But it probably wasn't Tiger's fault, it was the idiot spectators that caused the issue. You don't go bonkers when a player takes a club out of the bag to check to see if he has enough room to swing. You don't say a word when a player pulls a club. Just another case of spectators trying to get a few seconds of TV audio time.

But yes, Sergio is a whiny little prick overall.

Not sure if that outweighs throwing off their day's routine or not though, but I guess most of the contenders are in the same boat as far as having to wake up early to finish.

They wait until the round is over before changing the pin locations, even if the round is being resumed in the morning

They're not going to change the pins until the completion of the 3rd round. So whether he waits until tomorrow isn't going to make any difference, it'll be the same pin until Sergio and Tiger finish.

I knew it was going to be a Tiger pic, but that is just golden.

I don't know if that's what actually happened because I slept through the delay, but assuming that's true, I don't see how this is anymore than Sergio whining for no reason. I do remember them showing the replay live, and IIRC nothing happened during his backswing or downswing.

Sergios a baby, true. But what do you expect from someone whose never had a job, has tons of cash, tons of exposure and dates the world's hottest chicks? We should expect him to turn out the way he has. What we should really be wondering is how the hell Adam Scott turned out as well as he did.

Dandy's rule I don't know who you are but I think you need to defend this claim of Sergio dating the world's hottest chicks. He does pretty well for a pro golfer, but pretty far from the world's hottest chicks

The noise started a couple of seconds before he swung and built from there not stopping until after he struck the ball.

So in a nutshell, the crowd began to cheer for no reason while Sergio was trying to hit his shot. That is more than enough reason to piss off any PGA Tour player.

Meanwhile, athletes in any other sport save chess, tennis and golf manage to do awesome stuff even while fans are cheering/booing them and don't whine about the audience making noise if they don't.

There was actual applause a couple of seconds after Sergio's swing that sounded like it was coming from another hole

You haven't even seen it, and as I said, there isn't a tour pro out there that wouldn't have been irritated.

It's just another case of spectators being ****ing ignorant dicks.
