The Tiger Woods Appreciation Thread - Tiger chokes away PGA Championship

[Hardcore Legend]

Might as well lump this kind of stuff into one thread.

Tiger made a nice charge to get to the top of the leaderboard only to pick up his first bogey of the final round. He's a shot back. For as bad as people say he is playing, he continually finds himself in the Top 10.

[Hardcore Legend]

Missed another short putt.

[Hardcore Legend]

And Byrd hits the shot of his life from the fairway for Eagle.

[Hardcore Legend]

Chip in for Eagle on 11, Tiger 1 off the lead again.

[Dirty Mo Posse]

Woods is the man!

Damn Weir screws up a round after being in contention again!!

:D

Posse

[Hardcore Legend]

The leader now.

[glove-save]

Tiger is my only hope not to have a disasterous week in Fantasy Golf

[Kleptos18]

Tiger at his worst is still better than 99% of professional golfers.

[Hardcore Legend]

Big birdie putt on 17. Could decide tournament.

[Hardcore Legend]

Nailed it.

[Hardcore Legend]

He's not human.

[Hardcore Legend]

Baring Byrd holeing out from the fairway on 18, Tiger wins.

Apparently ESPN has been pushing this idea that Phil Mickleson winning this weekend after his wife was diagnosed with cancer would be a more dramatic event than Tiger Woods playing 36 holes last year in the final round and playoffs on a shredded leg, having to make a putt on 18 2 days in a row to avoid losing.

I'm sure it would be very special for Phil to pull it off, but I have a hard time believing that it would be more dramatic than what Woods did last year.

Last year's US Open would almost be impossible to top. It wasn't just that Tiger won on a bum leg, but he played lights out on a bum leg down the stretch.

I think Tiger takes a great thrill in beating Lefty, and to be honest, I think Phil is afraid of Tiger.

[Hardcore Legend]

Can Tiger have already eliminated himself from the US Open? He's at +4, while Weir is making the course look like a video game. Tiger won't tee off again until 4:00 pm tomorrow.

The weather really impacted the way things are going this year. With all the leaders getting a fair amount of their second rounds in later today, could be very hard for Tiger or anyone else that finished this morning to get into contention.

[Hardcore Legend]

Tiger played like an old man today. Gone was the wreckless foot on the accelerator playing. He saw that Kim was playing wildly and taking big risks and he knew the score was set at -12. So, he played fairways and the center of the greens and used the Par 5 to get the lead.

[Hardcore Legend]

Not human. What he did to Harrington today was criminal.

He's won 3 of his last 4 tournaments.
70 for his career and he finally wore the shirt I got for Christmas! :)

[NotoriousVesaToskala]

4 shot lead for Tiger 36 holes into the PGA Championship.

[Donnellk13]

Tiger at a four shot lead gonna be a hard come back for the field

[Hardcore Legend]

It would take the worst 2 rounds of Tiger's Major career for him to lose this tournament.

He is ahead by as many strokes as people are under par for the first 36 holes.

[rocky2428]

The guy is just amazing. I only just started playing (and thus paying attention) last year and I'm in awe watching him play. That shot on the 16th with Harrington was sick last week at the Bridgestone was sick.

[Donnellk13]

Tiger only up 2

[Hardcore Legend]

Tiger played it safe almost the entire round. I think he tried to stay away from the big number and see where everyone else posted.

[Hardcore Legend]

Yang made 2 of the greatest shots of his life on 14 and 18. Amazing round.

Tiger tried to get cute and play conservative as soon as he got the lead. Doing so, he left himself without very many scoring chances. He needs to go back to being aggressive the way he was before 2006. He's had close calls before because of it and it finally bit him.

[Leafsfan1967]

WOW!!!!!! Who saw that finish coming this morning? Great job by Yang!

[mkupper]

Wow Tiger's getting soft. Way to go.

[madden821]

He had to lose one eventualy

[OUsoonersR1]

Yeah, a loss was coming, but I didn't see coming in this fashion.

He just couldn't get that one shot.

[Spawnomite]

Tough loss for Tiger.

[Oouch]

Nice to see Tiger pull and LeBron and refuse an interview.

[Chachi]

[madden821]
