AggiesAreWe Posted July 17, 2009 Report Posted July 17, 2009 Well, it looks as though Tiger will miss the cut. There are 73 players at +4 and Tiger needs at least 4 of those players to drop down to +5 to allow him to make the cut. The bad news is that there are only two players that realisticly have a chance of dropping down to +5. Here are the closest players to the cut line that are still out on the course: Bryce Moulder +3 thru 16 Billy Mayfair +3 thru 16 Chris Wood E thru 17 Branden Grace -1 thru 15 Boo Weekly -1 thru 17 Tiger has a snowball's chance in you know where to make this cut.
AggiesAreWe Posted July 17, 2009 Report Posted July 17, 2009 LAZEEK, I would like to know where are all those Tiger Woods fans? ;D
Lazeek Posted July 17, 2009 Author Report Posted July 17, 2009 Whoa AAW!!!!!!!!! I am a TW fan..............I am just not ready to deem him the "Greatest of All Time" yet!!!!!! :D
AggiesAreWe Posted July 17, 2009 Report Posted July 17, 2009 Whoa AAW!!!!!!!!! I am a TW fan..............I am just not ready to deem him the "Greatest of All Time" yet!!!!!! :D I understand. Sorry.
Lazeek Posted July 17, 2009 Author Report Posted July 17, 2009 It's official with only two players still on the course ahead of Tiger he will miss only his 2nd cut in a Major as a professional!!!!!!!!!!! What a disappointment........................he was a 13 to 5 favorite heading into the week and the next closet was at 30 to 1!!!!!!!! :o

AggiesAreWe Posted July 17, 2009 Report Posted July 17, 2009 Okay, now that the hacker Tiger is out of the way, who wins this one? Of course, I am pulling for old man Tom Watson. But I think Vijay will win this one.
Lazeek Posted July 17, 2009 Author Report Posted July 17, 2009 Retief or Sergio or Camillo (GO GATORS)!!!!!!!!
baddog Posted July 17, 2009 Report Posted July 17, 2009 Great to see one of Jack's old nemeses showing the young crowd how to play golf. Tom Watson is one of the best to ever play the game. I hope he wins it.
numbertwo Posted July 17, 2009 Report Posted July 17, 2009 Can people just accept that Tiger Woods is human, and that nobody is perfect? Jack Nicklaus missed 6 cuts in between his first and last major win. Yeah, he was the overwhelming favorite, but by people's standards. He never played Turnberry before Sunday and he hasn't played links golf in two years. Tiger does outshine everybody in the world talent-wise, but course knowledge and preparation also help, a lot. Just my two cents, and go Sergio!
Lazeek Posted July 18, 2009 Author Report Posted July 18, 2009 Mark my words....if TW (Tom Watson) wins tomorrow it will be the single greatest achievement in golf and possibly sports history!!!! Go Tom!!!

Just my two cents, and go Sergio! I think the conditions of any course affect all golfers the same. It doesn't matter if you just left Pebble Beach to play Turnberry, everything is even. Pay more attention to your practice rounds. You're right...Tiger is human after all. ;D I agree with Lazeek, this is one for the books if Tom hangs on.

bullets13 Posted July 18, 2009 Report Posted July 18, 2009 LAZEEK, I would like to know where are all those Tiger Woods fans? ;D what? he missed his fifth cut in his entire professional career? he MUST not be that good. of course, jack missed 88, but i'm sure a lot of those were when he was getting old.

In majors only, Jack missed 33 cuts, most of them (22) in the '90s and '00s....so you are right. Why so defensive? 59 year old Watson playing like he is 30.......putting for eagles!!!! Gotta love it!!!

Gotta love it!!! not defensive at all... i just figure that the cuts-made stat is a pretty telling statistic for a pro golfer. AAW was trying to use the fifth missed cut of Tiger's career to talk a little smack. i figured if Tiger's fifth missed cut was cause for a little more "Jack's the greatest smack talk", i'd at least bring up the 88 that Jack missed. I will also bring up the fact that by the 90's Jack was playing almost exclusively in majors, so although he missed many cuts in his later years, there must have been several when he was younger as well.
bullets13 Posted July 19, 2009 Report Posted July 19, 2009 watson is alone in the lead, and just hit a perfect drive on 18.
adminbaberuth Posted July 19, 2009 Report Posted July 19, 2009 I'm on road, been following on bbc blog but 15 minutes behind, please keep updating
baddog Posted July 19, 2009 Report Posted July 19, 2009 Watson slightly flew the green on 18 needing par to win. Stewart Cink was one behind and finished. Watson putted from off the green and left an 8-9 footer for par. He missed badly and made bogey to tie Cink at -2. Playoff is 8,9,17,18...I believe is what they said.
adminbaberuth Posted July 19, 2009 Report Posted July 19, 2009 Wow, at 59 I still have some yrs to make a run. Thanks for update
baddog Posted July 19, 2009 Report Posted July 19, 2009 Correction....4 hole playoff is 5,6,17,18....starting now.
baddog Posted July 19, 2009 Report Posted July 19, 2009 Hole 5...both players find greenside bunkers with their 2nd shots.
bullets13 Posted July 19, 2009 Report Posted July 19, 2009 watson looks like he's going to drop a shot on the first playoff hole.
baddog Posted July 19, 2009 Report Posted July 19, 2009 Cink hits a magnificent bunker shot to within 6 feet and pars. Watson hits a poor bunker shot and two putts for bogey. Cink one up....on to the 6th hole
