US Open 2008

[Markybee]

Tiger has started like a hacker...5 shots to reach the first hole (par 4!)...gone from leader to two behind.....struggling with his bad kneee.

Can he come back to win?

 

[TW3Bee]

Hopefully not.

 

[Markybee]

Hopefully not.

why not?

He's amazing

 

[West Ealing Bee]

When Woods is ahead going into the last round of a major he always wins.

This is the first time I've actually thought it might not happen, but it will require someone to go out and beat him, he's given Mediate and Westwood a lead, it's up to them to hold it.

I'd still be surprised if it wasn't Woods.

 

[TW3Bee]

why not?

He's amazing

A typical British thing of wanting the under dog to win.

Come on Lee.

If he was 100% fit he'd be nailed on.....but he's limping already (on 3rd) and in a lot of pain. It would be incredible for him to win from here. If he fell away I think he'd withdraw. I don't think either are likely though. The rest are all mincing about, Westwood won't blow up, I don't think...

 

[Markybee]

Rocco can't win

Round of the day so far was from Heath Slocum or hit a 6 under par 65.

 

[West Ealing Bee]

Westwood currently the only man under par, Woods not making the title his own as he usually does.

Not sure Westwood will ever get a better chance but players like Ogilvy, Els and Weir - who have won the biggest prizes - are lurking.

 

[Markybee]

Ernie is playing well but can't putt.....Woods looks beaten (even for him)....Think its Westwoods

 

[Markybee]

Woods now looks to be comfortable (again)....

 

[WarrenBee]

Having just seen Westwood's shot from the drop zone on the 10th , I think he is in for a long back 9, but here's hoping. Come on Lee.

 

[West Ealing Bee]

Woods ahead now.

Seven to play.

 

[WarrenBee]

Woods ahead now.

Seven to play.

Only one winner now me thinks.

 

[West Ealing Bee]

Only one winner now me thinks.

:yes:

Great escape by Westwood to keep it close, and if he can stay in contention he might be able to pull something out.

I'd expect Woods by a couple now TBH.

Be interesting if it goes to a play-off, could Woods' body take another 18 holes tomorrow?

 

[WarrenBee]

Westwood has just cocked up his tee shot on the 12th.
That Apple looks nice.

 

[Markybee]

Woods looks pumped up again now. Be very interesting to see if he lashes two bigguns on to the 600 yarder...

 

[WarrenBee]

Mediate has just missed a sitter of a putt.

 

[Markybee]

1/6 Woods

7's Rocco & Westwood

You got Sky now WEB?

 

[WarrenBee]

Only the yanks could write Happy Fathers Day in the Sky.

 

[WarrenBee]

Westwood on the 13th.

:sad:

 

[WarrenBee]

Woods on the 13th.

 

[Markybee]

Can't believe what Woods just did

 

[Markybee]

 

[Markybee]

I expect Woods thoght "I knock this on and its all over"...

Considering what Westwood did first I'm totally astounded at his shot.

 

[TW3Bee]

Be interesting if it goes to a play-off, could Woods' body take another 18 holes tomorrow?

So they play another 18 holes then.

Wow I thought they played extra holes until one person wins.

 

[TW3Bee]

Woods taking a penalty drop.

 

[Markybee]

Who wrote that fecking Toyota advert :mad2:...they should be shot

This mistake may well cost Woods the title

 

[Markybee]

Rocco stiffs it on next...Its All change....

 

[Markybee]

So they play another 18 holes then.

Wow I thought they played extra holes until one person wins.

Its the only major play off over 18 holes the next day

 

[TW3Bee]

Rocco shares the lead with Tiger, but will soon be there on his own.

 

[Markybee]

Rocco ahead....

That has to be the worst shot Tiger has hit in a major wilst leading...I thought he'd hit it left but the stupid American fans were hollering & whopping :shrug: when it was in the air, hinting it was gonna be good.

This is a MASSIVE test for Tiger now. Next hole has birdie written all over it, v short par 4

 

[Markybee]

8/13 Woods, 13/8 Rocco, 12 Westwood, 20 Ogilvy

 

[Markybee]

Woods hits iron.... booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

 

[Markybee]

Woods has made two very questionable decisions :sad:

 

[WarrenBee]

What a drive by Westwood.

 

[Markybee]

4/5 Woods, 13/8 Rocco, 6 Lee

If Woods doesn't birdie this he won't win

 

[Markybee]

Woods has blown it

 

[Markybee]

Crap 1st putt from Lee

 

[TW3Bee]

Golf is a very hard sport to follow on the radio.

 

[TW3Bee]

Westwood Birdies.

 

[Markybee]

Woods looks mentally jaded. Maybe the pain & those mistakes will be the end of him. Westwood holes from 7ft and Rocco hits great recovery.

 

[Markybee]

4/5 Tiger, 15/8 Rocco, 9/2 Lee

 

[Markybee]

Tiger sends it miles right on 15...body language distinctly poor. Rocco misses from 6ft, Westwood could nick this.

 

[Markybee]

Tiger totally unsure on hit shots, has hit a dreadful second on 15. The American fans are total feckin idiots, they cheer everything without knowing where its going.

 

[Markybee]

Its Westwood championship. Tiger has gone and I cant see Rocco winning.

 

[Markybee]

Woods 6/5, Rocco 9/4, Lee 7/4

 

[Pixelator]

Spanish TV lost their link-up when Woods and Westwood were on the 9th.

 

[Infatuated Bees Alter Ego]

18 hole play-off tomorrow ?!
Can't they just have a penalty shoot out !? and be done with it !

 

[Markybee]

Ive already got things booked tonight and will miss the play off. On Woods at 7/2 but I had a big bet on him to beat Westwoood on yesterdays round. Which was looking :bound: until he followed Lee into the rubbish on 13 :sad:

Plus I had 6/4 Westwood to shoot more than 73. He shot 73. Teach me to bet against our own, I guess.
