He's not making a bad go at it so far

In that case he is obviously faking for attention and should man up the big softcock

The season's only just started, and the love in for Woods (over the previous 3 days) is at vomit inducing levels, allready.
Yesterday, there was barely a mention of Robert Rock, even though he was leading going into the last round..what do we get, Oh Tiger's on the prowl, he's back to his best...OUR media can't help themselves...SUPPORT THE BRIT, FFS. Not some jumped up American, who holds little respect for anyone but himself, and hasn't exactly covered himself in glory over the last couple of years.

Well done Rock...always seemed to be a man who did well when the "big boys" were having a week off.
Hopefully, he'll kick on and be a Ryder Cup regular, and compete for more European Tour pots.
He certainly has the potential.

Golf needs a good Tiger Woods tbf. Well done Rock though for how he finished today and unlucky Rory too. I want to see an ideal world now where Tiger is back to his best (which he's still a way off yet) and the young guys like McIllroy, Day, Ishikawa, Fowler ect. compete with him. I actually don't care what country they come from either. I appreciate good golfers no matter what.

Looks like a good finish to the (We are) Farmers (bom bu dum bom bom bom bom)* Insurance Open. Stanley had a 6 shot lead after 9. 2 birdies later by Snedeker and 2 bogies by Stanley and the lead is down to 3.

6 holes left

*You will only get that reference if you watch American TV

What a self indulgent pr1ck Tiger Woods is.Dropping a club after a poor shot is (just about) forgiveable, but, to then kick the club (after his ball has merely gone into a bunker), is just pathetic. I've attended many Pro tournaments before, and I've NEVER seen that done.
It seems "the chosen one" needs to grow a pair, OR (more importantly) LEARN some etiquette. PATHETIC.

I'm one of Tigers biggest fans but have to say I agree completely, I can understand him being annoyed(I play golf myself so get annoyed after every shot

) but everytime he shouts "god damn it" I cringe.

I'v never known a pro change his swing and take this long to get it right, but I guess part of it is because it's him and everything he does is caught on camera.

Can't believe he was only 3 over yesterday, others would have been 10/12 over with some of the pathetic shots he hit! He is still well in the tournament just like everyone else with the 10 shot rule but he has no chance unless he sorts his head out and just plays golf instead of moaning and shouting everytime he hits a bad shot.

Just look at what Mickelson has done, at one point in the first round he was +4 but didn't panic(when does he?

) and has slowly made his way under par and give himself a great chance of winning his 4th masters. I hope Westwood wins but reckon that double bogey on the last yesterday will come back to bite him on the arris. Love watching Fred Couples aswell the bloke is so layed back it's unbelievable similar to Jimenez

Love to see Boom Boom be up there at the end.

That flop shot of Mickleson's at the 15th last night was unbelievable.

Go and win it now, Toothy (I've got a tenner on you, at 12/1. That'll pay for a few Lamb Naganzis and Shiraz's

)

I picked Mickelson before the tourney so unless a Brit/European wins I want him to win.

Amazing how no matter how he is playing going into the masters that when he gets to Augusta he just goes into beast mode more often than not, I'm a massive fan of his just because of the way he plays the game it's always exciting to watch.

Mickelson has that "x-factor" which endears himself to the heart of Americans, the stuff only Woods can dream of having that kind of "respect".
He's the boy next door, well mannered, successful, takes defeat well, is humble in victory and is enshrined in the game.
Woods just cares about Woods, and bollox to the rest. Maybe that's why he's been so successful, but not many share his philosophy to sport in general.

Mickelson is the guy you can have a drink in a bar with, afterwards. Woods just wouldn't go into the bar in the first place.

Yeah Phil Mickelson seems like a really nice bloke who would happily talk to anyone and is obviously a big family man and very down to earth, the complete opposite to Woods in the last few years you might say



I'v always been a fan of Mickelson but even more so since he was diagnosed with Psoriatic Arthritis, I have it myself (and weirdly was diagnosed just a few weeks before him) so know how tough it can be at times, so I'v got the greatest of respect for him and been an even bigger fan of his since I heard about it!

Peter Hanson is going to have to play similar to yesterday to win IMO although maybe not as many under par, bet he wishes he could have played his last 18 holes straight after yesterdays round because he was on fire.

After the last few years we should all know that a South African will somehow win.....

I'll have a guess that the winning score will be -10.

Interesting you say that. Worked away at St Andrews a few years back. One of the lads claimed to have worked for the golf course during one of the Opens. Said Mickelson was incredibly up himself and ignored all requests. No idea how much truth there is to the story but he swore on it. Think Mickelson has mellowed a lot over recent years what with his wifes illness etc. Somebody I always enjoy watching, he can conjure up the impossible.

Hoping for an Oosthuizen victory, got a quid on him each way at 80/1. Fully expect Mickelson to win with plenty to spare though.

Mickleson has always come across as someone who is up himself and very false to me. I might be wrong but I have never been his biggest fan. I think as well, it's to do with Tiger being my ultimate idol as a kid and the "feud" they had.

Bo Van Pelt just aces the 16th

As Luke Donald just eagles the 15th right next to them after a "chip" in with a 3 wood

Louis Ousthuizen, WOW. That is all

Loooooouuuuuuiiiiiiiis!!!!!!!!!

Former England captain (at cricket FFS) screws up interview with top golfer shock. How many times has Tiger won again?

I don't watch the BBC coverage because I think it's amateurish and Peter Alliss gets on my tits but just read about this on twitter, can't say I'm suprised and it just proves my point

I'm a big Alliss fan but agree with the rest

Fair play to Bubba Watson, I'm no fan of his and never will be but he played awesome today and deserved it.



Tweeter Alliss on twitter:- Great to see young Crane congratulate Bubba, he isn't even finished his round yet. Extraordinary.

Backed Bubba so many times and seen him implose so many times. Overlook him for the first time in ages at the majors and he duly goes and wins one

Least I got something right for once
