Honda Classic

[stevestevens]

Tiger is +2 after 5 holes.

[Brandon]

Anywhere to watch this outside of the Golf Channel at noon?

[nate]

Looks like he was all over the course.

I miss the west coast swing already.

[nate]

Looks like they have 3 & 9 streamed online at pgatour.com, Brandon.  That is why I miss the west coast swing.  Tiger will be done before TV even starts today.  Not sure why there is a golf channel when it doesn't even show all of an event.

[Brandon]

Yeah, I was hoping they changed their schedule to accommodate the time change but still have Euro's and LPGA going. Thanks for the heads up.

Usually tourneys always tee tiger up to coordinate with TV time.  I was shocked when he was one of the first ones off the tee. 

[stevestevens]

My boys and I watched it online as we got ready for the day this morning but like Nate said, just holes 3 and 9.

 

PGA tour has been pimping their "watch golf anywhere, anytime" with the pga tour app.  I get into work and put my phone right besides my computer to start watching while I am working and it just says "@ live will begin coverage at 8:00 am est" ....... still just sitting streaming the same screen.  Huge Wells-like pop up on that one PGA.  Lame.

According to the shot tracker Tiger was in the water on 6.

[nate]

Tiger finished his round at even par.

[Lou]

cool

 

no reason to watch now

[Brandon]

Finally on. I guess they are going to follow Rory for two hours.

 

I see Rose fell off. Bogeyed 3 of his last 4.

you should just fly out there each day.

[stevestevens]

cool

with Tiger's continual decline, we really need a good golfer from Mexico to come along and step up so Lou can generate more interest in our golf threads. 

 

Tiger is only 5 back anyway, he is still in this thing. 

[Brandon]

My jet is grounded at the moment due to high gas prices caused by Obama.

fuel prices are so outrageous these days that i can afford to fly my helicopter to napa/st. helena in my helicopter for lunch at the french laundry only two times each week instead of my normal five. i'm fuming over this. stupid congress.

[nate]

Wait, you can get into French Laundry twice a week without a reservation?  Wow.

[Tank]

LOL, of course i can, you silly guy. dude, it's ME. i can go anywhere.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

as long as the security guys aren't paying attention.

[nate]

Apparently Rory just withdrew for mental reasons.  Media is going to have fun with that.

[Brandon]

What a headline to wake up to.

 

7 over after 8 holes!?!

[Brandon]

Nice, he just released a statement saying he withdrew because of a sore wisdom tooth.

 

I guess that is one way to cover your ass when you are playing terribly.

[Adam]

Rory withdrew because his nike clubs suck ballz errrrrr he has a wisdom tooth hurting him. boo boo hee boo

[nate]

He should have signed with TM so he could be Roryierierier

Official statement from McIlroy:

 

"I sincerely apologize the The Honda Classic and PGA Tour for my sudden withdrawal. I have been suffering with a sore wisdom tooth, which is due to come out in the near future. It began bothering me again last night, so I relieved it with Advil. It was very painful again this morning, and I was simply unable to concentrate. It was really bothering me and had begun to affect my playing partners. I came here with every intention of defending my Honda Classic title. Even though the results haven't revealed it, I really felt like I was rounding a corner. This is one of my favorite tournaments of the year and I regret having to make the decision to withdraw, but it was one I had to make."

[nate]

He told media as he was walking off the course that it was for "mental reasons."

[Lou]

This never happens when a guy is leading a tournament.
