Former England captain (at cricket FFS) screws up interview with top golfer shock. How many times has Tiger won again?

I don't watch the BBC coverage because I think it's amateurish and Peter Alliss gets on my tits but just read about this on twitter, can't say I'm suprised and it just proves my point

I'm a big Alliss fan but agree with the rest

Fair play to Bubba Watson, I'm no fan of his and never will be but he played awesome today and deserved it.

Tweeter Alliss on twitter:- Great to see young Crane congratulate Bubba, he isn't even finished his round yet. Extraordinary.

Backed Bubba so many times and seen him implose so many times. Overlook him for the first time in ages at the majors and he duly goes and wins one

I'll have a guess that the winning score will be -10.

So the U.S Open has just started...

Enjoying it so far, Woods carried on with his good form from the Memorial and hit some great shots. If(massive if) he can shoot level par the rest of the tourny he will win by a few....

This is the toughest course most of the players will ever play in their career, some of the holes are ridiculously hard(I'v played them on WGT so I should know ) the fairways are narrow and have a lot of overhanging trees making it even harder to hit them, most of the fairways slope towards the rough in opposite direction to the hole shapes! Even if they hit the fairways they still have tough shots into the greens because the slopes are huge. The 16th hole is 670 yards long and is shaped like a boomerang but with the trees its impossible to cut the corners.

I know I say this every year but no-one will finish under par this year IMO, think only 3/4 players have ever finished under par after 4 rounds in a U.S Open here! If it pishes it down and softens the greens they could but still don't see it.

I'm gonna predict a winning score of +2 and stick with Donald or Westwood despite the poor starts, they have to win a major sometime(probably when I don't tip them)


Nice to see Blubba Watson back to his best aswell

Good luck to the GB&Ire players (especially Harrington @ 80/1 on Weds, tho I can't see it)

Re: The 2011 PGA Tour/European Tour Thread : Sun Jun 17, 2012 9:05 pm  

I'm sticking with Westwood and a +2 winning score, would be nice to see G Mac win another though such a laid back bloke its untrue!

What odds on 3 Northern Irish winners in a row?

Lee's in contention, but his history in Majors on the last day, is weaker than a vicar's handshake.
Hope by the time I wake-up tomorrow morning, I'm proved wrong.

That mist rolling in (NO, I'm not trying to be Paul McCartney) is going to be a great leveller.

Glad to see a certain man named after an endangered species, is making a stones of it!
