That was yesterdays game, but it seems you don't know the result, so i wont spoil it.

Today, czech republic vs Poland and Greece vs russia are playing simaltaneously at 2:30...

Back on topic... Tiger is certainly in the hunt, good to see. Thats good for golf.

He is striking it flawlessly, if not for 2 horrible breaks yesterday he would be ahead by a couple shots.

More like tonight. So weird having it on the west coast ending at 10pm.

There are tons of guys within a few shots of the lead, should be interesting.

**Ravenswintitle** · 06-16-2012, 01:28 PM

yeah I saw that Tiger tees off at 3:05; then realized it was PDT... Guess I won't watch muc this afternoon will I?

**Poeboy** · 06-16-2012, 03:46 PM

I'm really pulling for Tiger. Whenever Tiger is in contention the TV coverage sizzles. The game is boring without him.

**Baltimoreboy** · 06-16-2012, 04:57 PM

I gotta root for the 17 year old kid (Beau Hossler) with the hot mom :0)

**Ravenswintitle** · 06-16-2012, 07:02 PM

kinda fun watching Tiger struggle too

**TheJoeFlaccoShow** · 06-17-2012, 09:31 AM

Well Tiger played like shit and shot himself right out of the tourney yesterday.

The 17 year old is sooooo impressive (and his mom is a smoking hot MILF!). I gonna go out on a limb and say he never makes it to college, really no point with how good he is.

I have now shifted my rooting interest from Tiger to a financial gain driven mindset, although I do have a couple bucks on Tiger along with a few other still in contention.

I need the top 3 (Furyk,McDowell,Jacobson) and Els to tank it, and have either Westwood (+1200), Adams, Colsaerts, or Peterson (Field, +1000) win it.

Also I have longer shots still in the running with Dufner and Kucher(+2500).

Furyk looks like he is poised to take it down, just rock solid. But still anyone's game with leaderboard bunched up pretty tight.

I was thinking why the late starts?? What do they want, prime time US Open..?? Do we need golf ending after 10pm est on a sunday??

**HoustonRaven** · 06-17-2012, 08:26 PM

Really rooting for Furyk right now if for no other reason than that dirty swing.

Give hacks like me hope.

**Benny8444** · 06-17-2012, 10:45 PM

Keep in mind where Furyk is from and what NFL team he roots for... Hit they have their logo on only one side of their helmet.

I am a fan of his and hated seeing him blow it.

**Ravenswintitle** · 06-18-2012, 07:29 AM

I have to admit I felt bad for Furyk those last couple holes. Nerves got to him and he hit some ugly shots... again

Seems like every major has a different winner these days

Yea, that chip out of the sand trap was pretty bad. I thought I was watching a video of me trying to get out of a bunker.

**flraven** · 06-18-2012, 09:11 AM

Yes, I was a Furyk fan because he is from the Lancaster PA area, but changed when I found out his NFL allegiance.

Yes, his chip was lousy.
And I agree, having this tournament end late at night does kind of stink.

**Benny8444** · 06-18-2012, 12:44 PM

I do enjoy watching golf late night. This was the case a few years ago at Pebble and at Torry Pines.

I feel for Furyk though but you think someone like him who has won a US open and has had a successful career wont feel pressure like the younger players would. Actually Jim was one of the last players i would pick to have pressure affect him. He really blew it on 16. That tee shot was beyond terrible and he had been driving the ball well all week as well as making good 2nd shots. But he lost it on 16 and effecting him all the way to the clubhouse.

**NOLARavenFAN** · 06-18-2012, 02:00 PM

Perfect storm.....there was no pressure on Simpson, who was always a few shots back, and too much pressure on Furyk. And there was Els who made a mental mistake and took a chance, and self-destructed. No way Simpson could have carried the lead around the course in my opinion.
