[Tim Wakefield]

I believe Sergio is due.

Shit ya, +3000? Is that right? Sign me up. Mi hermano is in Spain right now..sports books in every bar. Might have him throw a Euro or two on Sergio for me

[Dr. Strangelove]

Took my boy Double D at $10 to pay $10,000 and threw a fifty on Stenson.

[NigelUno]

Phil at -5.

[Dr. Strangelove]

This just in... Lefty is on fire.

[Death Roe]

Go Lefty

[Tim Wakefield]

Fuck yeah Phil

[Dr. Strangelove]

Phil, Stenson and all the morning guys catch a break with the weather. Nobody gonna catch them today.

[InTenSity]

NBC's app coverage kinda sucks. Then again everything pales in comparison to Masters coverage.

[Floyd Robertson]

Still wrapping my head around Tirico being on NBC.

[kingstonlake]

Still wrapping my head around Tirico being on NBC.

Seriously? Havent given it a second thought.

[Death Roe]

Lefty back in a tie for first

[Dr. Strangelove]

Phil being Phil getting out of trouble on 12

[Guest]

He's hanging in but seems to be on the brink of having it all go to hell.

[Dr. Strangelove]

He's hanging in but seems to be on the brink of having it all go to hell.

You just described Lefty's game perfectly.

He gets himself into situations and places on the course that only he can get out of.

[Guest]

And again on 17 in a bit of a pickle but will probably come out of the rough ok - seems to have a good lie.

[DWags]

Hope lefty pulls this out.

There is only one way to become a shot-maker. You have to put your self in position to make shots.

Phil and Seve are among the best shot-makers ever. If their games weren't sometimes wild, they would have never learned how to make shots.

[kingstonlake]

Cold and rainy today

[Guest]

If these announcers don't STFU on "match play" I'm going elsewhere. As usual they pick a theme and everything that happens gets crammed into that theme whether it fits or not.

[Dr. Strangelove]

How about different level? Or the number of shots between 2nd and 3rd?

[Dr. Strangelove]

Seriously. Phil just runs up against guys playing the round of their life

[The Pantry]

What a pairing

[Guest]

Not a bad putt to end it.

[kingstonlake]

how do you shoot no rounds over par with a 63 and a 65 and lose by 3 in a major?

[Robert J Sakimano]

I'll take the rich white guy.

so... did the rich white guy win?

[DWags]

Math.

[Dr. Strangelove]

I'll take the rich white guy.

so... did the rich white guy win?

[Robert J Sakimano]

sweet.

and some here think I don't know anything about sports/skills.

Some lunatic wins $87K betting $50 on Stenson, Baddeley to win last week

Henrik Stenson had missed three straight PGA Tour cuts coming into last week's Open Championship. Aaron Baddeley had won one time on the PGA Tour since 1997 coming into last week's Barbasol Championship. So naturally, somebody put $50 on them to both win in the same week.

And then they did just that.

Now that somebody has some nice disposable income now as the $50 ticked paid out $86,700. It should have paid more than that.

[Floyd Robertson]

I remember when Baddeley came on the tour and picked up some corporate sponsor that had him in a TV ad driving around like a bad ass in convertible.  I wondered what ever happened to him.
