I'm not to sure of his name but I can gurantee you @Caliknight hates him.I believe the last big tourney with all 30 top players was the TOUR Championship. I forget, who won that?

I went to a Web.com tourney this am at Lakewood National in Bradenton FL. Followed an early group incldg Angel Cabrera, Ricky Barnes and Scott Harrington. Cabrera played poorly, shooting +8 while the others shot -5. Cabrera looked pretty rusty and unhappy. Will be surprised if he plays tomorrow. Mike Weir and Boo Weekley are also playing.
The group ahead of them included a club pro from TPC Treviso Bay in Naples. For those that saw Tin Cup w Kevin Costner, this kid had a similar experience. After making bogey on 1, he proceeds to hit 6 consecutive shots into the water from the tee on the par 4 number 2 before carding a 17 on the hole. That put him +14 after two holes.
I watched the whole thing as it happened. After his initial drop on the front of the tee box he alternated between using an iron and a rescue club. Every shot was a low duck hook that didn’t travel more than 50 yards before getting dunked in the water again. The poor kid looked like he was in shock. The good news is that there was no video of it. He ended up 54-37-91 +19 for the 1st round.
My first web.com event. 144 tournament spots. They had 2 Monday qualifiers this week for where 280 competed for 12 spots. That’s 424 golfers competing to get in/already in for the event. Web.com is returning here the next 5 years.
So I called it about Scott. His putting was dreadful today.Yes. Especially Scott. Who has a putting problem. Will enjoy if he can hold it together in a long pressure day. Phil did last week but I'm not betting it will happen two weeks in a row. But it should be an entertaining day.
So did you actually watch the last round? Tiger vs the leadersIn case you haven’t noticed, a number of them are far ahead of where Woods finished.
So ignore your dumb comment that he was playing worse today than others when in fact he gained major strokes on the leaders. Your hatred is undeniableYea. He finished 10th or something. Like I said, he's just one of the guys now. Nothing to be ashamed of. Bets are made let's see what happens.
You have a bad memory. I said he would never win again long before you did. You jumped on my bandwagonNo hatred. I don't even know him. Smarmy dude by all accounts, but whatever. It's about golf. 10th place, or was it worse? Many guys have his game or better now. Just how it is.
Why are you such a fanboy? did you watch in a red shirt and black pants today?
Guilty as charged, lol. When we have a major winter event here, I definitely stop paying attention to everything else. Only saw a few minutes of the Pebble Beach event (which I love - favorite course I ever played), but did see a clip of the hail (not sleet, for the record) - wild stuff.Poor job by #s. Too focused on the impending snow/sleet/rain event around here that he missed the sleet event that actually took place today at Pebble Beach. Greens were covered. Play has been delayed until 4pm EST.
“Five years from now nobody will remember who won or lost, but they’re gonna remember your 12!”
Quote came true.
Would you have posted about the event if the kid didn't card thst 17?
Wait? Define "major winter event here". Bar is way too low this year.Guilty as charged, lol. When we have a major winter event here, I definitely stop paying attention to everything else.

Yes. I went to the tournament to watch some of the established players like Cabrera, Ricky Barnes, Weir and a few others. The kid who made the 17 was in the group ahead of the one I was following and I just happened to see his mishap from the tee. Notice I never mentioned his name in my post. I felt sorry for him. He looks like a nice kid.
The young player that impressed me was Maverick McNealy, son of Scott McNealy who founded Sun Microsystems and was an early Silicon Valley tech leader along with Steve Jobs and a few others. Maverick finished 2nd in the tournament and could be moving up to the big tour next season. Incredibly long off the tee, looks like he has a complete game. Played for Stanford in college and broke Tiger Woods record for most wins there.
In Woods' defense, wasn't he there for like a year?

sorry to hijack the thread. I'm going to be in LA for a business trip and want to get a round of golf in. Anyone ever played Angeles national golf club or Rancho Park? Angeles looks like the better course but I'm a little worry about traffic getting out there from Beverly Hills or DT LA. Rancho easier to get to but less scenic. @Caliknight?
appreciate the offer. My plans are not set yet but I'm thinking fly in 3/3 and leaving on 3/5. Golf on Sunday (3/3) around noon? No worries if that time doesn't work.Angeles is a decent track. Rancho is a 5 hour round. When are you coming? My club is in Pasadena. I will host you if the timing works out.
A Sunday round? Make sure to wear black pants and a red shirt. It will knock @Caliknight off his game!! [banana]appreciate the offer. My plans are not set yet but I'm thinking fly in 3/3 and leaving on 3/5. Golf on Sunday (3/3) around noon? No worries if that time doesn't work.
I played 3 rounds in Miami in Jan. My drinking game is in midseason form. The cart girl was very impressed with how fast I was putting back double transfusions. Golf game needs a lot of work.A Sunday round? Make sure to wear black pants and a red shirt. It will knock @Caliknight off his game!! [banana]
sounds good. I'll let you know when I finalized my plans. If golf doesn't work, lets grab a drink. Always good to meet fellow RU gradsMy game is already knocked off.
J- I am in San Diego at the end of next week, not sure when I was coming back. Stay tuned, I'll let you know.
I don’t think he will play enough tournaments or have a high enough winning percentage to reach #1. He’ll win and have a lot of top 10 finishes.Tiger now in the top ten down in Mexico. I still think he gets back to number one. He hasn't quite dialed in the "A" game but you see him lurking with the "B" and "C" game. He'll find it, he's Tiger Woods, winner of 80 PGA Tournaments.
Great golf so far. Rory hitting the green off the tee on 2 par 4s. Fun to watch the risk/reward. It’ll be a finish on Sunday.I have to give Tiger credit. Did anyone see that 9 iron from the bunker? Crazy finish. I wouldn't even call it a fade. It was a slice around a tree onto the green and did a right turn toward the hole. Incredible shot.

No he won't become #1 This year no matter how well he plays. World rankings are based off 2 years of play.He's definitely, without a shadow of a doubt, starting this season way, way in front of where he was at this time last year. Can he dial it in further? I've been observing his game and it's just getting tighter and tighter.
He'll play enough that if he wins four or five times, he'll be number one.
Agree with you on his game but being number 1 again isn’t high on his list. Winning majors and chasing down Jack and Snead is.He's definitely, without a shadow of a doubt, starting this season way, way in front of where he was at this time last year.
