I was saying that I though Darren Clark looked gay. My dad said Jimenez might be gay, but that Tiger definitely was. I always thought Mich looked like a dork when he dips his head from side to side with the goofball grin when acknowledging the crowd's applause. He seemed pretty "in control" today though.

Besides the gayness, the Masters was pretty interesting today. After round two's leader was -6, I predicted only -7 would win the event. At one point in todays action, 5 players were tied for the lead. Is this a record for a major tournament on Sunday?

Why couldn't Freddy putt? Doesn't he have a caddy to help him out? Those strokes cost him big $$$$ as his play off the green was nearly flawless. How many greens in regulation did he get today? Congrats to Michelson. He ripped drives with confidence, played safe irons and chips, and gave his putts the correct speed. This win shows he has a great mental game. Did anyone see Rocco take the 8 on the par 3? That's what this course does to the average player.

One other guy took a 10 on a par 4.

Imagine how costly that hole was for Rocco. He went something like from 2nd place to a tie for 20th or so.

Yeah, but the beauty of the PGA is that guy still probably took home more then I make in a year.

Why no love for Tiger?

He gets plenty of love from the commentators. They are hot for him.

Actually, most are jealous of the guy. It does always seem to have to be all about him though.

Yeah, well he is #1 in the World!

Hell, he is the only one to ever own all 4 major trophys at the same time

They even named it after him...."The Tiger Slam" The guy can play bad, and still be in contention to win ( The masters last week)
He's so far above everybody else its rediculase... It will continue to be about him because all the fan support he brings to the game..Its sad to say golf was a boring rich white mans sport until Tiger came along.. He made it cool to play, and watch

He made it exciting!! I know I never gave a crap about it until he hit the scene...Now I never miss a major. Tiger will continue to own this sport for 10-15 more years, so get use to it

You should watch celebrity golf with Sam Snead sometime, has gone against Milton Berle, Bob Hope, Dean Martin(handicapped of course,) for chartiy. funny stuff. Also watching Palmer and Trevino was always great.

But yeah, Tiger is the man. Has he beat Snead's tour record yet?

catch the soundbite of ELS saying Phil is the man to beat at agusta? Way to go ten more years of Els loosing to a pissed off Tiger...

Bobby Jones's "Grand Slam" was prior to the current day Grand Slam. He won the U.S. Open, British Open, U.S. Amateur, and British Amateur. They didn't have The Masters or the PGA Championship when he won his.
