Oh, you don't? Well... *I* know the rule and I'm not gonna tell you. Go check the Rules of Golf. ha ha! look at me I'm smart!

Yeah for me picking B!!! I think it's going to be great for golf when Sergio wins tomorrow. Plus we'll probably get to see more Sergio commercials. (I know. I know.)

The only Sergio commercial I've seen is of this cute chick at home dressed up in girly golf attire and her friend asking her why she's dressed like that. She says she has a date with Sergio Garcia.

So the doorbell rings and it's Sergio all dressed up like he's going out to party. The girl says "I don't understand... I thought we were going to 'hit the clubs.'" *makes golf club swinging motion*

So Sergio says "Um, yeah... *does a little dancing motion* 'hit the clubs.'" and the chick stands there with a confused face.

I found it oddly hilarious.

Sergio has some pretty cool Michelob commercials..he used to bang Martina Hingis.

What will Tiger need to shoot to actually make a run? or is it pretty much impossible.

[mark_foley]

If Tiger shoots 4 or 5 under he should have a pretty good chance.

I'd be surprised if 6 under was good enough to win with all the players at -3 or better. I don't think Tiger has much of a chance in this one, which is too bad because I want to see him make Sergio sweat it out.

Also, the Sergio Michelob commercials are hilariously awkward. They are fantastic.

I imagine that was interesting, to say the least. He also banged the girl from the "Nice shot, Sergio" commercial, and recently Greg Norman's daughter.

He's played just brilliantly so far, Tigeresque, and if not for Stricker's tremendous round today, this thing would be 99.9999999% over. Props to everyone who picked Group B, btw.

I'm sure one of the -3 guys will get it to -7, and I don't think Stricker will collapse. But a nice & easy 71 should have Sergio in with little drama.

Of course, it IS Carnoustie, & Sergio on a Sunday in a major. If the weather kicks up anything could happen, & triple bogey is always 'round the corner w/an unlucky lie in the gorse or a pot bunker.

But I'll be pretty surprised if he doesn't win by at least two, and I also think he'll win a couple more fairly soon after, a la Phold after his breakthrough.

And if he collapses, oh baby. Van de Velde will be the happiest guy about it, as nobody will be talking about HIS gag anymore.

I don't know why, but I find Tiger's new commercial hilarious. All it is is him whistling Eye of the Tiger while putting on his shoes.

Apparently Sergio gets quite a bit of ass, so good for him. In the most recent SI players' poll that I read, there was a question like "would you let Sergio date your daughter" and the answer was like 75% NO. Heh. A quick google search couldn't find the link. Also, I'm quite jealous of him for nailing Martina Hingis - although I may be the only one - she seems like a high maintenance byotch but I have a thing for athletic chicks.

Good for Sergio if he wins, it must suck to shoulder the expectations he's carried since Medinah in '99, particularly when a whole country is counting on you to deliver.

Clark, you should load up on Tiger for tomorrow, I bet you can a good price on him!

Sounds good. Maybe not as good as the new Jennifer Love Hewitt bra commercial I just saw, but good.
