Is Sergio Really Going To Win A Major? (Guess Not)
Golf August 10th. 2008, 6:26pm
Sergio Garcia is currently on the 15th green at the PGA Championship with a 1-stroke lead. That’s right, Sergio Garcia - he of the unlimited potential - is very close to his first career Major victory. Padrig Harrington and Ben Curtis are each a stroke back at -2.
It would be a fitting win for Garcia as the PGA Championship was the tournament were he made such a huge splash in 1999, finishing second to Tiger Woods. From there it was supposed to be Tiger and “El Nino” battling back and forth for the rest of golf eternity. That hasn’t really been the case. More recently, Garcia won the Players Championship earlier this year.

August 10th, 2008 at 6:28 pm
Maybe?
August 10th, 2008 at 6:29 pm
Maybe not?
August 10th, 2008 at 6:29 pm

August 10th, 2008 at 6:30 pm

August 10th, 2008 at 6:30 pm
Let’s vote on it.

I don’t know how to set up those polls. I’m just not tech savvy like Mr Online Madden over there reading comments on his iPhone

what the hell is with the dumbass course superintendent brushing the rough away from the greens? yea, like 5 inch rough isn’t hard enough.
this is one of the worst courses in the US major rota. it should be banned from any future consideration.

Good opening for Pineapple Express, but The Dark Knight is just too freaking good of a movie.
August 10th, 2008 at 6:35 pm
sergio!!!! NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
August 10th, 2008 at 6:36 pm
I hope it’s an ugly baby, Spence.
No.
August 10th, 2008 at 6:36 pm
Was that shot in the drink my fault?
August 10th, 2008 at 6:37 pm
CRM…you played a role in that…yes.
YOURE LEADING A FUCKING MAJOR…SHOOT FOR THE MIDDLE OF THE FUCKING GREEN.
August 10th, 2008 at 6:39 pm
he still hasn’t choked it away completely…there’s still a chance because he gets relief.
August 10th, 2008 at 6:41 pm
fuck tiger…let’s just have sergio and paddy play every major together. at least it’s interesting.
August 10th, 2008 at 6:44 pm
can we get someone who knows the heimlich out there? everyone is choking.
August 10th, 2008 at 6:45 pm
this foxsports leaderboard thing sucks. so sergio hit it into the water? has he played his next shot yet?
August 10th, 2008 at 6:46 pm
sergio hit it from the drop zone…got it to within 4 feet, but it’s not a gimme.
paddy hits a HUGE par putt.
August 10th, 2008 at 6:46 pm
what’s going on!? I can’t see anything! who else is choking?
August 10th, 2008 at 6:47 pm
they all are.
three way tie…curtis, paddy, sergio all at -2. curtis has one more hole than paddy and sergio tho…regardless, the final stretch is some of the most difficult golf these guys will play.
August 10th, 2008 at 6:48 pm
curtis just mickeltits at winged foot’ed it over the hospitality tents.
August 10th, 2008 at 6:49 pm
his jiggling b-cups caused everyone at the hospitality tents to dry heave? what?
August 10th, 2008 at 6:51 pm
paddy just knocks it stiff…my god.
August 10th, 2008 at 6:52 pm
paddy may not have elite game, but he has cajones, no doubt about that.
August 10th, 2008 at 6:53 pm
WHAT. AN. ANSWER.

August 10th, 2008 at 6:55 pm
Paddy looks like a fukn chipmunk..get him off my screen… Imagine the wool Sergio’s tearin up in about t-minus 3 hours.
August 10th, 2008 at 6:58 pm
curtis isn’t dead yet…
PADDY…YOOOOOOOOOGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
August 10th, 2008 at 6:59 pm
sergio…you fucking cunt.
August 10th, 2008 at 7:00 pm
serg just sh*t the bed… tha yips
August 10th, 2008 at 7:01 pm
that beard just grew all the way out on 17…..
August 10th, 2008 at 7:01 pm
this hole is a beast…it aint over yet.
August 10th, 2008 at 7:02 pm
paddy’s a p*ssy
August 10th, 2008 at 7:02 pm
Beach
August 10th, 2008 at 7:03 pm
paddy is going to need an all-world next 3 shots for a par…
sergio’s door is open.
August 10th, 2008 at 7:04 pm
Wow, that’s a bad shot, huh?
August 10th, 2008 at 7:04 pm
door to the beach that is
August 10th, 2008 at 7:05 pm
paddy walks like a duck
August 10th, 2008 at 7:05 pm
sergio’s prolly pissed he took that $200k to put that POS driver in the bag.
shoulda stayed with the superquad.
August 10th, 2008 at 7:05 pm
Sitting up a little bit, at least.
August 10th, 2008 at 7:07 pm
7am in Beijing….. bet J. Kidd and the boys are leavin some skinny white chiks room.. just tore some sh*t up?
August 10th, 2008 at 7:10 pm
sergio got lucky with that…paddy needs some serious next 3 shots for par and sergio has a reasonably easy up and down.
then again, it’d help if he could putt.
August 10th, 2008 at 7:11 pm
paddy is fucked
August 10th, 2008 at 7:12 pm
this is a clusterfuck.
sergio needs to squeege.
August 10th, 2008 at 7:12 pm
a comedy of errors down the stretch as SERGIO runs to the bathroom!
August 10th, 2008 at 7:14 pm
pinch one out real quick…. imagine how terrible those porta sh*ts smell
August 10th, 2008 at 7:14 pm
well…there’s the all-word 2nd shot.
dayum
August 10th, 2008 at 7:17 pm
what a crap bunker shot by Colonel Waggles
August 10th, 2008 at 7:17 pm
shit…if only all the majors could come down to shit like this.
August 10th, 2008 at 7:18 pm
ssimac…seriously, what an AWFUL shot going over a 10 foot bunker slope getting it within 10 feet. JUST TERRIBLE.
/sarcasm
August 10th, 2008 at 7:19 pm
oh hey…charlie wi! thanks for playing now GTFO
August 10th, 2008 at 7:19 pm
I know he’s your gal and all, but that was not a great bunker shot…and you know it
August 10th, 2008 at 7:21 pm
ssimac…eh, it wasn’t awful. not a lot of margin for error. rather have a 10 footer where he is than having it run down the slope.
August 10th, 2008 at 7:21 pm
DOOR CLOSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
August 10th, 2008 at 7:22 pm
F’in Paddy is a man….clutch (if such a thing existed) putt
August 10th, 2008 at 7:22 pm
TBL…can i go back and edit my preview when i said paddy had no shot at winning?
August 10th, 2008 at 7:24 pm
and, once again, Sergio blows his wad all over himself
August 10th, 2008 at 7:26 pm
seriously…when is that motherfucker going to play up to his ability? come the fuck on.
dude, shoot for the fat part of the green. don’t miss 5 footers. you hit the ball better than anyone else on tour, fucking take advantage.
August 10th, 2008 at 7:28 pm
But spence, it’s never his fault! It’s always the course, or the officials or a bug that flew by at the wrong time.
August 10th, 2008 at 7:30 pm
hawkeye…he’ll take responsibility for this one, he better. his only fans left are hardcore golf nerds because he’s such a little twat that his ridiculous game just gets over shadowed.
August 10th, 2008 at 7:33 pm
He’d best this time around. It was obvious this time that he just choked it away.
August 10th, 2008 at 7:37 pm
eh…not the best choice of words, but better than at last year’s open.
last golf thought, then i’ll shut up…if the USGA or PGA EVER thinks about holding a major at this venue, whoever is in charge should be shot dead on the spot. this was the worst major venue i have ever seen, how is this place even a choice? every hole is just long and boring, no imagination, it’s boring as fuck. the greens are stupid and totally out of character with the rest of the course, surprising because it’s a donald ross design.
rees jones, the dude who re-set up oakland hills, has ruined major golf on numerous occasions, this being the latest chapter. there are numerous other top architects equally qualified to do his job, and they’d probably do it without acting like a sadistic fuck
the golf was exciting, but this course is garbage, and always has been. it’s hard, but that’s about it, and there are a million american courses that are just as difficult yet offer more. again, great finish, but just a terrible venue. they don’t hold the super bowl at a high school stadium, don’t hold the last major of a year at a garbage course.
except for the final 9, this was one of hte most boring majors (well, aside from the last 2 masters after the most recent changes ruined augusta national) in recent memory. at least next year we get treated to bethpage black.
thank god for football season.
August 10th, 2008 at 7:39 pm
That was great stuff. I can’t wait until 20 years from now when we look back at the Tiger Era and see that Padraig Harrington won three majors in two years. “Wait… WHAT?”
August 10th, 2008 at 9:02 pm
But Tiger was asleep for two of those.
August 10th, 2008 at 10:20 pm
Damn. First Bernie Mac dies and now Isaac Hayes. what a crappy weekend.
August 10th, 2008 at 10:47 pm
Two funny men passed away. I know Isaac was a singer. But I will always know him as Chef.
