Golf: 103rd PGA Championship - May 20-23

[Elvis P]

Phil is a legend. I would love to see him win another major or two especially at his age.

He is, but in the first half of their careers he and Norman were always first on Saturday, second on Sunday.

Charles Barkley and John Daly....the greatest duo we never thought we'd see together

 

[Canes]

He is, but in the first half of their careers he and Norman were always first on Saturday, second on Sunday.

This comparison is very unfair to Phil. Norman only won 2 majors, both the Open Championship. Phil has won the Masters 3 times, the Open and PGA Championshp once and is only... like 6 2nds at the US Open from a Grand Slam. Phil is by far the superior golfer, shouldn't be uttered in the same comparison as Norman.

 

[Elvis P]

Agreed. Tiger and Phil should not be mentioned in the same sentence.

 

[Maestro84]

Agreed. Tiger and Phil should not be mentioned in the same sentence.

I've always seen Rory as the next Phil rather than the next Tiger. No one will ever be as great as Tiger in a very very long time but Rory's place in history will probably be close to where Phil's is right now, possibly higher

 

[Dakota Sioux]

Great start by Lefty. -2 after 3 and -7 overall

 

[BMOK33]

Brooks is missing a ton of makeable putts, I felt if he went God mode this thing was his. If Phil cannot hold on and maybe starts to fatigue I think Grace/Woodland look next most impressive so far

 

[MrFunnyWobbl]

God mode Phil?

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Phil’s gonna run out of steam at some point. He can’t put together four rounds anymore.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Finau lurking for the never had a chance to win T4.

Mostsly oldies can't but he is barely 50, he's not Langer or Couples at Augusta in their 60s.

The Finau Special.

 

[Dakota Sioux]

Lefty is dialed in so far. Now -3 on the day

He's doing very well today. Finish today and then the only thing he has to worry about it one more round. He's firmly in control of this tournament.

 

[Dakota Sioux]

Phil’s gonna run out of steam at some point. He can’t put together four rounds anymore.

He keeps extending the lead like he is he can afford to lose some steam down the stretch. Up by 3 now

 

[BMOK33]

He's going to get to at least 9 under here

 

[GKJ]

Trying to be all-in on Phil doing this

 

[MrFunnyWobbl]

I think we're into "if Phil doesn't win this it is a collapse" territory.

Not in the middle of round 3

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

I really don’t think Phil’s gonna win this, even though I’d prefer him to Oosthuizen, Koepka, and Matsuyama.

 

[MrFunnyWobbl]

I still hope Bryson can steal it, but I'm fine with Hideki or Phil. Okay with Koepka but not thrilled.

I know there's been some controversey over clubs and putting recently, but how do you cheat in golf? You swing, you hit the ball, hopefully it goes in the hole. It's not like the ball is corked or anything.

@Dr John Carlson could help you with answering this.

I find it hard to be too enthusiastic about rooting for him. I was never a fan of his, but realize his place in the history of the sport. When he’s won, I viewed it as much more important than Shane Lowry or Jimmy Walker winning a major. The incident in Mexico and the one at Shinnecock make it even harder for me to like him, but I’d be a hypocrite if I said it was all about these incidents. Tiger had plenty of them. I’d prefer Phil wins to some others, but I still wouldn’t say I ever root for him, unless the options are limited.
