tiger-rory match is great so far
just as expected

China < Merica

Is Submergio always this slow? Brutal on 18.

I sense Sergio deliberately hit his putt long and offline to not give Grace the line on his putt. In stroke play that would almost never happen.

As I watch this coverage I'm in the same boat.

It is so amazing to sit her in 2019 and watch Tiger rule again.

or not

He still rules.

You can't expect even Tiger to stand up against Danish Dynamite though.

Nice putt on 18 Eldrick

He hit it right where he wanted to, the ball just didn't take the break

Sergio still a total knucklehead.

i'm surprised it took this long for someone to post about the latest adventures of the mental midget that is Sergio Garcia. lol at him trying to talk Kooch into conceding the next hole.

in case anyone was wondering, like i was, what cash they are playing for today:

The whole match play, giving putts/conceding holes etiquette is weird to me. Why not eliminate these issues by just forcing all putts to be hit until a hole/match is mathematically over?

it's a sport for gentlemen

nothing is stopping a competitor from doing this. i would recommend telling your competitor before you tee off on #1 that this is going to be the case on your end.

Insufficient answer. Agreed. I think with the situation Kuchar should not get any shade his way.

This final 4 is everything that can go wrong with match play for NBC. Deathly dull.

Deciding what to concede and what not to is part of match play. Feelings potentially getting hurt is part of the game.

regardless of whether the final has fan favorites or good personalities, by the start of the 7th round of the week all of these golfers are mentally exhausted and you very rarely see high quality golf in the final.

To liven up the broadcast, they should have the 4 losing quarterfinalists play a wolf game in the afternoon.

So it turns out Kuchar could have ignored Sergio's faux pas and actually called in the referee. Some might remember that Suzanne Pettersen was called a cheating ***** by everyone in golf for doing virtually the same thing as Kuchar (in the Solheim Cup a couple of years ago) - claiming a hole because she hadn't conceded a putt, she most likely would have conceded if she had been asked.

I had been thinking that it was out of Kuchar's hands, but if he had the ability to ignore it and didn't that's pretty ****ty.

I don't believe Sergio asserted Kuchar ever said "that's good" like Allison Lee did. In that case there is a provision for the player to replace his/her ball at the approximate spot where the ball was.

Sergio was just being Sergio and screwed up. Expecting your competitor to bail you out is lol bad.

Another difference: Pettersen stated she was never conceding the putt, Kuchar said he obviously would have but did not do so verbally until Sergio did his thing.

Kuchar also can demand Sergio replay the stroke as Sergio played out of turn. Why Kuchar would do that would be really dumb, but if he did not care about $1.6M and screw all his bettors with some charity act for Sergio's screw-up then go for it. If I backed Sergio I would never blame Kuchar, its common sense.

Sunday is almost always unwatchable for match play. We were just lucky to have two extremely close semis.

If Sergio had lied like Lee would it have made any difference?

The point is that Kuchar wouldn't have won the hole without calling a rules infraction. Pettersen was called a cheat by all and sundry for doing the same thing.

Not true as Kuchar had already holed out.
