Michelle Wie @ the US WOMEN'S OPEN

[Mookie4ever]

psst...did you hear that nobody finished the men's US open under par.

The score has nothing to do with whether the golf is good or not. And the Open the week before didn't have most of the field completely collapse on the final day, at least that's what I gathered from watching NBC's lead in and the hour and a half I watched. I assume you weren't watching, but Tiger and Campbell on the back nine Sunday was extremely compelling, at least to golf fans. That's one of the things I really like about the US Open. They don't try to appease the masses by having a birdie-fest, rather defending par and testing every facet of your game tee to green and most importantly between your ears They strive to -- and almost always succed in -- determining the best golfer, not just the one that sucked the least on Sunday.

hmmm....and I thought that the winner holed out from the trap to get a birdie on the 18th hole to win it - a hole that had not given up a birdie the entire tournament.

We should have a poll for the most annoying things about watching golf on TV. Is it:

1) the announcers whispering everything?
2) the jerk that screams out "you're the man!!" as soon as Tiger hits his tee shot?
3) the jerk that yells out "get in the hole!!!" as soon as someone hits a putt?
4) the fact that it should just be called Tiger TV since he gets all of the coverage even if he's not in contention?

I'm not a big golf fan.

My point exactly. Holing out from a bunker is like a hole in one -- complete luck.

How about all of the above except No 4.

[Kingctb27]

Yeah, she'll be really hott one of these days. It's a little wierd though since she's 15 and these old dudes are talking about her.

[SaintsOfTheDiamond]

If you didn't know there's no way you would guess she's just 15, at least I wouldn't, she looks as old as most college girls.

Mookie.......Actually:

1. They only whisper when they are either a course reporter near the action or the tower is really close to the action on the 18th green.
2. That is retarded. I agree. They do it for other golfers as well.
3. What is even more retarded is when they do it when they tee off.......on a par 4 or 5.
4. I agree but he is the king of the PGA tour, he gets ratings, and he has done wonder for the coverage of the sport.

And so I don't get in any trouble, Michelle Wie is very pretty.

I also believe that the 18th hole hadn't yielded a birdie on 18 on Sunday but there were 3 or 4 for the entire tournament. Either way, as talented as Kim is, she was very lucky. It was a great feat to get up and down from that bunker and she holed it out. Considering that she is 1 of the worst bunker players on tour, she got very lucky.

she is hot but prolly on the roids!!

Hehe. Actually she is proof that length off the tee is a result of flexibilty (her follow through is unbelievabe ) and hitting it on the screws time in and time out.
