Re: Carnoustie
I hate Sergio, too bad he's going to win. He looks Tiger-like, he's going to run away with it.

Re: Carnoustie
Very cool to see each player's swing speed and ball speed measurements on the par 5s.
check the statistics tab: http://scoring.opengolf.com/scorecar...;iPlayerNo=487 http://www.opengolf.com/news/display...ps?id=60006772 Interesting to see the actual measurements instead of the BS fluff they write up in Golf Digest etc. No CBS, Tiger does not swing at 135mph and he doesn't bench press 350 pounds. He does, however, get his ball speed up to 185mph+ which is very fast, tops among the pros.

Wow, group B is killing it. Top four on the leader board coming out of that group, lol. [/ QUOTE ] Who would have thought? Garcia and Stricker were his last two picks.

Very gay that you alluded to the rule but didn't tell him. I hate that quality in a person. [/ QUOTE ] Catch a fish for someone and they can eat for a day. Teach someone to fish and they can eat for a lifetime. In this day and age most people just go on the internet and ask someone to give them the answer instead of actually making an effort and perhaps learning something in the process. Looking this up in the rule book would have taken 2 minutes max. If this wasn't the GOLF forum I definitely would have given the applicable rule, but people here should either have knowledge, or be willing to obtain knowledge of the ancient game. BO

Re: Carnoustie
I'd like to see Sergio win this even though he has come off poorly in the past (interviews, spitting). He has the talent to be a top 3 player in the world and may already be the best ball striker. Once he gets his head on straight he may be like Phil and win a few majors in a short time.

Are you going to reply with "you suck take lessons" next time someone posts a swing video rather than take 2 seconds to say "keep your head down" if that's the obvious problem? jeez.
