still bullshit that Harris gets to lead off every hole

[Jive Turkey 12789]

I’ve been trying to go to the gym for the last hour. But I can’t leave until this is over.

Gets to? Or has to?

[Dewey 3315]

I'll be disappointed if this ends on a par or worse

[SimonBolivar 10962]

I turned it on with Bubba having a 1 stroke lead and this is the first golf tournament I've watched in a year. Y'all are welcome and poor Bubba.

[hookem48 4718]

Harris should nail this

gets to, it's not like someone's taking 3 wood just to get in the fairway on 17 or 18 here

[hookem48 4718]

well

[hookem48 4718]

not even close

[Dewey 3315]

How did these two get to 13 under?

[hookem48 4718]

ok, throw a different hole in this shit

[Dewey 3315]

Need to mix in a par 3

I would think you’d rather tee off second so you can read how the wind affects the flight of your opponent’s ball. Anyway, apparently them’s the rules.

[hookem48 4718]

someone needs to hit that tree 100 yards off the tee like Jordan did

pros always want to tee off first

[hookem48 4718]

well that was fair

[Lurch 5942]

I can’t imagine that’s true. You can learn a lot watching the other guy tee.

On a par 3, yes. Not so much with driver in your hand.

[Lurch 5942]

Even w driver. Second guy can change strategy based off of first guys drive. Particularly to take a more conservative approach if first guy fucked up badly

If it's a short par 4, probably.  These guys will hit driver regardless what the other guy does.

yea it's true

[Dewey 3315]

Harris has been playing some good golf as of late, that's the reward. Well earned. 

[hookem48 4718]

missreading the putt on 17 was the killer

Maybe so but after watching eight playoff holes I don’t think there’s any way to credibly argue that it gave Harris an advantage or Kramer a disadvantage. Maybe pros are just superstitious.

[Updawg 2334]

Tough loss.

17 and 18 today were always going to be driver off the tee so probably not that big a deal but pros always want to put pressure on the other guys by teeing off first, this isn't something new.

[Jive Turkey 12789]

win would have been huge for Kramer with the 2 year tour exemption and entry into the majors, but second place paid out $806,600.  he shot up from 154 to 76 on the money list.

Some dude in London was pretty damn happy English won.

It is a crazy bet to pick the winner of four tour events the same week

No joke.

[TonyTexas 10587]

Shows how big an asshole BDC must be for his caddie to walk away from such a lucrative gig. 

[4th&Five 41725]

Exactly.

This Brooks Bryson thing is so awkward now. Like they're just trying hard to keep it relevant. And really it's just Brooks trying to keep it relevant.

Kramer Hickok is moving up in the world.  he's paired with Bryson (and Cam Champ) today and tomorrow.

He’s like 20 years old.  It’s gonna be a few years.

Merritt’s caddie is nothing less than sassy with the crowd during this playoff.

Every hole was par or better for him for the whole week during regulation and still lost. Damn golf is weird.

Phil/Brady v. Bryson/Rodgers at 4:30 today on all the TBS stations. 

[dieucla98 2942]

More commercials than coverage. Tough to watch.

[aggie08 21608]

Tom Brady making people look bad who shat all over him last time in this event. It's almost like playing a 2nd sport on national TV for the first time is nerve-racking.

Not as tough as listening to BDC …

[billfromlaketravis 11640]

Phil talking to Brady like he’s 9 years old the entire round is pure greatness. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16071]

Bryson & A-Aron win. 

[shadow_operative2.0 16071]

He gone for awhile.

Argentinian golfer Angel Cabrera, a former Masters and U.S. Open champion, was sentenced Wednesday to two years in prison on charges he assaulted his former partner.

A court in the province of Cordoba, 500 miles northwest of Buenos Aires, convicted the 51-year-old of assaulting, threatening and harassing Cecilia Torres Mana, his partner between 2016 and 2018.

Cabrera, who denied in the trial any wrongdoing, will serve his sentence immediately.

"His situation is much more complex than this, he has other charges for which there are arrest warrants, too. There are other victims," prosecutor Laura Battistelli told TV channel Todo Noticias.

The first charges brought were for his assault of Torres Mana. Two other former partners also said he assaulted them.

The golfer traveled to the United States in July 2020 without seeking permission, which led the province of Cordoba to request his arrest.

Cabrera was arrested by Interpol agents in Rio de Janeiro in January. Last month he was extradited from Brazil to Argentina so he could face trial.

He won the U.S. Open at Oakmont in 2007, beating Tiger Woods and Jim Furykby one shot. He also triumphed in a Masters playoff in 2009 and lost a playoff in the same event in 2013 to Adam Scott.
