The 2019 Presidents Cup

[Tank]

anyone watching? the world team smacked the US on thursday, 4-1. Tiger and JT got the lone US point. the two of them played very well together and were matched again for fridays matches. 

they're playing at the royal melbourne golf course, and those greens are as slick as glass. they were hoping to get them up to 14 (!) on the stimp meter.

hoping to watch more action when i get home from work this afternoon. it's being televised by the golf channel.

It’s bad. Int team is playing really well and mainly making putts.

[Lou]

we were down in all 5 matches late and pulled out 2.5 points.

all started with a huge putt by Patrick Cantlay

 

 

Bruin.

I agree.

[Tank]

Well that was quite a comeback to win the day and salvage a shot at keeping the cup. Huge putts by cantlay and Thomas. 

[Lou]

it would have been easier for Cantlay (Bruin), but he had to carry his partner (49er)

That putt by Thomas yesterday set off the entire place I was at. Dope moment and comeback by him and Tiger.

Reed/Simpson suck.

They've played 35 holes - trailed in 29 and led in 1.

EDIT: make that 36/30/1

Yeah, Tiger fucked up on this one. Just the sound of putting them together sounds awful.

I can't see them playing this afternoon.

Reed only plays well with Spieth

Reeds caddy has been dismissed from Sunday’s play after getting into an altercation Saturday morning with a fan and allegedly punching him.

what I heard was that he shoved a guy after the fan went up to their cart (after their round was over) and started in on Reed. The fans have been all over him.

A short time after the Golf Channel report, Karain spoke with Barstool Sports’ Fore Play Podcast, which released the following quote:

“As a caddie, one of your jobs is to protect your player. And unlike several other sports, in golf fans can get pretty close to athletes. We have been known for having fun with some good banter, but after hearing several fans in Australia for three days some had taken it too far. I had had enough. And this gentleman was one of them. Riding on the cart, guy was about three feet from Patrick and said, “You f—ing suck.” I got off the cart and shoved him, said a couple things, probably a few expletives. Security came and I got back in the cart and left. I don’t think there’s one caddie I know that could blame me. Unless his bones break like Mr. Glass, the most harm done was a little spilled beer, which I’m more than happy to reimburse him for.”

Tiger going out first 

[Brandon]

That Thomas/Smith matchup might be the best one. Both dudes are on it.
