Title: U.S. Open
Post by: Luke on June 15, 2008, 04:54:00 PM

Anybody watching this shit?


Tiger sinks a putt on 18 from like 10 yards to force a 18 hole playoff.


Rocco Mediate must be pissing himself.

Yeah I actually missed NBA Finals material to watch the last couple of holes.

Amazing stuff by Tiger. Greatest of all time, no he way can he lose tomorrow.

It was actually only about 10 feet, but still amazing.  Last night was incredible with his long bird on 16, horrible chip that one hopped in on 17 and the eagle on 18.  dude is sick.

And why in the hell are they finishing this tomorrow?  I thought they always just kept going..  Certainly not fair to the people who bought final round tickets.

Do they do that for all the majors?  

And how in the world is it on ESPN for the front 9?  ESPN is part of Disney..  Seems odd that NBC would share broadcast with them.

US Open has always been an 18 hole playoff with ties for the longest time. Dude is incredible, if only he could figure out the first hole, damn, he\'s like 7 over on that hole alone for the tournament.

NBA Playoffs? They are still playing, lol... no better theatre than Tiger on 18 to sink a birdie to force a playoff. Basketball is dull other than in the Summer when no other shit is on.

Just saw it again and yeah, your right.


I musta got caught up in the moment.



I think they do the 18 hole playoff for all majors. If it were just a regular tour tournament I think they do a 3-hole playoff right away.

No the only 3 hole playoff is the British, the Masters is sudden death and I believe so is the pga championship.

I like the recap of golf tournies. The music they play sounds like a theme from a Conan the Barbarian flick.

This one is a promo

Actually I think we took over Tiger Woods.

A guy where I work was saying he shouldn\'t have been playing because of his bad knee. Said if he lost to the other guy the media would\'ve had a field day with him losing to a nobody.

All I know is that I saw a picture of him after he won, wearing a Nike hat. So I\'m going to go buy some Nikes. Like six of them.

Looks like his knee was even worse than people thought.

Pretty impressive.

It shows you just how remarkable he is.  

He is the number one player ever.  Then everyone else.  There is no #2, 3, 4, 5 - 200.  Everyone other than tiger should be ranked 200.

Yeah, just when I thought I couldn\'t respect him any more as a golfer.


Fuckin\' amazing.
