They will all be there at the end at Carnoustie in what will be a dry, fast and tremendous weekend of golf. 

I slept through it :( 

anyone know how they did? 

^ I sleep through golf all the time. Happens. 147 yrs of old rich white guys playing a game and mostly just talking about huge investment opportunities. 147 years later it’s still mostly old rich white guys, one rich black guy and a couple Asians guys playing a game. Pretty incredible.

You have issues with white shit.

I like zone it’s Pretty white

Don’t forget Calvin Peete he’s black too 

Tiger back to even....ive got tiger, ricky, and matt kuchar in threesome bet in a pool...

P.s. the golf apps for these majors are best sports apps out there

ZJ, Fleetwook and even Tiger doing well so far I’m going to try to stay up tonight and watch round 3 

Woods within one of the lead. I might actually check out some of he “action” today. We updated be great to see a black man win on the whitests soil in the world 

I'm not a Tiger fan at all, but I am finding it extremely difficult not to feel good for the guy, this is getting interesting!

Do people not like Tiger because they think he was he first rich athlete to cheat on his wife? 

I fell asleep

There were plenty of people who didn’t like Tiger before skankgate because some thought he was smug and others didn’t like him challenging Jack’s records and this week he shoved past a few little kids who wanted an autograph or a bowl or porridge from him or something and I even hear some just don’t like Cablinasian people. 

I didn't like him way before that, I'm excited for the guy, he's been through the mill, if he starts making some of these putts people are going to freak out! 

Kisner may win this tournament 

Oh hey stupid cunt I didn’t know you liked golf 

So people don’t like Tiger because he’s challenging a record that’s meant to be broken? Odd. I guess people honk Jacks life was squeaky clean and he was a nice guy, right? I have this crazy theory about Tiger and why people whine and cry about him, it’s cause he’s black, and you’re white.

That's one of the best bounces I've ever seen

My issues began with his language on the golf course, exciting to see him do well today, not a bad lay up, tragedy narrowly averted!

Shot of the day!

Zach Johnson...putt of the year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

>>>>I have this crazy theory about Tiger and why people whine and cry about him, it’s cause he’s black, and you’re white.

yeah I mentioned that theory too 

>>>>>My issues began with his language on the golf course

He sounds like Trump. 

...there's a lot of that going around 

 

happy for Tiger

Slack, you rooting for a white guy to win it this year?

I want to see Tiger win more majors.

Tommy Fleetwood seems like the nicest guy on tour in a generation, he was sublime in "Detectorists"

Some would argue this to be the best Open since the game was established 

 

https://youtu.be/hU9FuflRuzA

How can they argue that when the open isn’t over yet? I feel like people were saying that about the World Cup then I watched prob the worst final I’ve ever seen in my lifetime.

"How can they argue that when the open isn’t over yet? I feel like people were saying that about the World Cup then I watched prob the worst final I’ve ever seen in my lifetime."

 

I was referring to the "Duel in the Sun" between Watson & Nicklaus, 1977

Should be a great final round you know what they say “There’s Only One Carnoustie”.

and it’s true 

Can’t believe I’m actually enjoying this tournament. Maybe I’m just turning into another old white guy.

What do old black guys enjoy? 

Nice golf thread...

 

 

Lets go tiger...tee off in about 20 mins...kuchar before that...id love to see Tiger win another major, also...but, id prefer to see kuchar win his first, if it was between the two of them

Lots of sand in the eyes for these guys today. 

these European sporting events are really messing up my sleep schedule they should think about changing the start times 

Tough day out there. If Spaith can even just shoot one over par he could probably win this thing.

Koooooooch!...

 

 

 

 

....(tiger is gonna win this today)

Huge putt for Tiger!

-7

Golf couldnt have written a better script....none of these young guns have ever faced a healthy , real, "Tiger". Now theyve got the number one young gun (spieth) matched up w him at a major. And to have it happen at The Masters, The Open, or The U.S. Open at say, Pebble Beach, would be exactly how they would have written the "script". This is gonna be fun.

Dbl bogey post...by me

I wonder if we’ll ever get to see any coverage of tiger playing. NBCs coverage is terrible

Jordan is rattled...

Did we miss any Tiger strokes?

Nope...normal golf coverage, every shot from top 2-3 players, and all putts from top 5-6 players being shown....

this seems to be really happening, I keep getting goosebumps thinking about it...it's good for the game

Just like Jack at the 86 Masters 

timpane is right, the commercial interruption is horrific 

Wow he really fucked up hitting into that fairway bunker. 

NBC/Golf channel hasn’t missed any Tiger yet and I’m sure if he takes a bathroom break they’ll follow him in there too. They can’t believe their luck with this. 

Epic!!!!!

It is a lot of commercials but I think they cluster them more heavily in the earlier part of the round. 

Wow sick out crazy swing his back looks ok 

Yeah, I was on the wrong channel. They were only covering the 18th hole. Couldn’t figure it out

Great recovery by Tiger out of that bunker. Almost got that birdie

Pivotal moment for Tiger

I’m out of here heathens I have to go to church and pray to God for the salvation of our country. 

I want to read this thread when I get back and I’m recording this so please don’t post any more info on what’s happening, thanks. 

Later Bucky. Don’t drink too much Jesus blood up there.

Rory!!!!!

Not so sure Tiger is gonna win this. Lots of competition at the top of the leaderboard.

Good showing for Tiger. Should be in good form coming into the PGA championship.

Nice win for Molinari.  First Italian to win a major championship.

Oooofah Molinari????? CHE CAVOLO!!!!

bastardo

Great Open....per usual

Finally someone make a birdie to solidify a win.

Belissimo!

((((((((( Carnoustie )))))))))

There’s Only One Carnoustie
