That's true, and I mentioned his putting as being the biggest aspect to his second place finish.

I was thinking more of the par 3s. He was absolutely aweful on par threes for the whole tourney.

So Tiger and Phil shared a 69 at at the PGA yesterday, eh? Good for them.

In front of everyone?! I've got to start watching golf.

Yes, it was quite scandalous.

Especially since Ogilvy also joined in the 69 so it was a 69 threesome. A new chapter was added to the Kama Sutra.

Who won the British Open at Carnoustie the year ('99) Jean Van de Velde put on an epic display of spitting-the-bit? That's what I thought. But every golf fan remembers what Van de Velde did. Watching his horrifying meltdown on the 72nd hole of the Open was the most surreal experience I've had as a sports fan. The official engraver already had Van de Velde's name etched on the Claret Jug, ferchrissake.

But I also remember the extremely clutch up-and-down he made from the sand to get into the four hole playoff at the end of that horrifying 18th hole. It's not discussed very often by golf fans, but Van de Velde's ability to compose himself and focus on getting that ball into the hole in two shots from the sand trap knowing he had just pissed away the British Open was nothing short of amazing.

So here's to you, crazy fvcking Frenchman. You will be missed this week.

Paul Lawrie, who seemed embarrassed, beating Van de Velde and Justin Leonard, who seemed pissed to be dragged out of the clubhouse to lose again.

Ditto. The stupid ending of Tin Cup was nothing compared to this.

Eww, the BBC (I assume the BBC is still supplying the feed for the British) had a crowd shot of a 60-something woman giving a 60-something man some sort of prostate exam right on the golf course. Eww.
