If Tiger is in the hunt, I just go out golfing, because it will be a boring telecast--all Tiger, all rear end kissing. It's boring to just get such saturated coverage of one player. He's the best, no doubt. But that doesn't mean he is all we want to see. The casual fan, yeah, they only want Tiger. But it's different for many others.
Wow, I never thought Phil would crush under the pressure of playing at his home course in his hometown. He usually has nerves of steel. :err: Phil is my favorite golfer but he doesn't make it easy.
I can see your point...those really into golf would get sick of it.
I am not a fan of golf at all. I will tune in however if Tiger has a chance to win and that is the only reason.
To see history if it is about to be made.
Is anybody else playing the US Open Live Challange on the US Open website? It is pretty fun but hard to keep up with it.
I disagree entirely. Those who understand golf appreciate all that Tiger brings to the course. You can't cover him enough. The back 9 today shows exactly why. Individual excellence in sport is the most impressive thing IMO. Tiger does it again and again. It is not a fluke. You better not tune in tomorrow because they will be covering this like never before with the shots he made today and the knee issues he is having.
Enjoy Tiger while we have him because he is a once in a lifetime talent.
I guess you'll be playing tomorrow....Tiger just chipped in from the fringe, one hopped it in for a Birddie on 17. On 18 he only bent a 30-foot putt about 4 feet outside the hole, and dunked it for an eagle. He's got a one shot lead going in the final round. WOW, watching it live - just WOW; it wasn't boring.
I wish all tournaments would set the courses up the way the US Open does every year. I like the challenges they put out there and the likelyhood that even par or above par can win.

If he finishes this out, after his third-round, one-legged comeback, do we have to hear anymore about how he never comes back in a major tournament, or can we put that one to bed for good?
Well, he does still have a lead going into Sunday. However, if I remember correctly, in the 2005 Masters, the 3rd round was postponed with him 2-3 shots behind the leader (Dimarco?). They finished the 3rd round that Sunday morning, then played the 4th that afternoon. Technically, Tiger led going into the final round, but he was behind when the day started, so that counted as a come back in my book.
Tiger wins going away. The field will retreat and Tiger will shoot even par, maybe one over.
I just wish that NBC didn't have this telecast. I am not a fan of Maltbie, Koch or Miller. I do like Jimmy Roberts.
