Tips? McDowell in a bit of form.

I would say Justin Rose is in better form - won his last 2 starts
Kaymer won for me at the U.S open and looked an absolute machine so i'll be doing him as my main bet.
Rickie Fowler's been placed for me at 66's and 80's in the 2 big 1s this year,and has had a similar enough prep again this time so i'll have him too. I'm also tempted to back Mc ilroy as at 16/1 7 places he has a big chance of being in the money if his head's right.Finally i might have a euro e/w on Ryan Moore at a huge price as he's very consistent and should be someway in contention come Sunday although it's hard to see him winning it.
As long as there's no Fridays, McIlroy.

What sort of form has cabera been in this year?

He was pretty much being a donkey and then went and won a few weeks back.
See betfair doing first 8 for EW (1/4 odds)
He finished top 6 when the open was last there.
Think he might be worth a punt ew especially if he has found a bit of form.
O'Neill you're a very naughty boy. Call it The Open, or else Fearon doesnt get free tickets when it comes to Portrush.
Can't. It reminds me of the qualifications I got on BBC2 during the night.

The big puddin' not so big this year.
Will stick with my usual picks - e/w on GMac, Kuchar and Westwood.
Tempted by the puddin though. If he stays away from the carvery and stout he can put in 2 good rounds.
looks a fairly 'open' tournament this year - excuse the pun...
Tiger not himself, lefty not going well, Rory all over the place....
Will go for Mikko Ilonen EW, Rickie Fowler EW, Tomas Bjorn EW
Dustin Johnson and Jordan Spieth to win....
if the wind blows and the weather is poor then may put a bit on Darren Clarke - the bad weather will suit him if he is in the mood.
Dustin Johnson to win . Fowler and Cabrera small e/w bets.

Darren Clarke estimates he has lost four stone since October thanks to a strict diet and gym regime. So will he be giving up Guinness as well? No chance
Darren Clarke has already turned a 41 into a 32 around his waist and now he plans to effect the same radical transformation on the front nine and back nine. Nobody can accuse the Ulsterman of not trying.
Fans will see the 2011 Open champion pounding down the fairways here this week and take a startled double-check. He figures he has lost more than four stone since last October, but it is the size of his trousers which delights him most.
"From 41 inches to 32 inches," Clarke said. "Nine inches, just like that, gone." Except it was not "just like that" and anyone out there who believes that Clarke, 44, has opted for the easy life and drifted off to seed since realising his lifelong dream at Sandwich three years ago, should read on.
If they are still not convinced, they should go to the public gym Clarke will use at Hoylake and witness his intense work-out. It genuinely is tiring to watch.
Since seeing himself on TV during the Dunhill Links at St Andrews last year and thinking "Christ, I'm fat", Clarke has gone to work. He really did not appreciate feeling like the sofa at the Home of Golf. A chance meeting the next week with Jamie Myerscough, who runs the Educogym in Dublin, was all the inspiration he needed. He was sold a regime which a) would still let him drink and b) not require him to spend hour after hour in the gym.
"The first thing I had to do was cut sugar out of my diet," Clarke said, the sweat dripping off him as he warmed down after a gym session. "There's sugar in everything, bread, fruit, carrots everything. So I eat meat and green veg; no carbs, just high protein. I take a load of pills as well, amino acids, fish oils and protein shakes and a mass builder which includes some carbs. You can't do completely without carbs but it's minimal.
"At the start it was hard and despite my diet seeming entirely normal to me now, I still get sugar cravings which I have to satisfy every blue moon. When I met Jamie it was the gym stuff I was more worried about. I'd done a lot of that before and to be honest just found it terribly boring going in there for hour after hour. But with this, it's 25 minutes maximum. No cardio, just lifting heavy weights. Explosive. In and out. It suits me.
"Although, I'm an idiot in the sense that I always have to push it with the weights, always have to try to go heavier and heavier. But that's me. I'll never change in some regards."
Myerscough will email over different exercises which Clarke follows on his smartphone. He does so studiously, promising to locate a gym in Hoylake. "We're in a private house, which won't have all the equipment, but I'll find one – I don't care where it is," he said. "But don't worry, I haven't turned into a total angel. I'm not that mad about it. But like I said, I saw myself at Dunhill and it was not pleasant."
Clarke was in a pub in St Andrews when he caught that life-changing image and, as he is known as the genial Guinness-gobbler, the question has to be asked. "Don't be effing stupid, it's me!" he said, with a huge grin.
"I still go out with my mates and enjoy myself and always will. Yet whereas before I'd have had a dozen pints of Guinness, now I'll have one or two pints... and 10 gin and tonics. So the outcome is still very merry, with much less calories."
The effects are not merely metrical. "I'm twice as strong as I was before and feel much better, not just physically, but mentally," he said. "The only source of frustration is that the golf ball hasn't yet realised all the work I've been doing. My timing has been off, obviously because I've lost all that weight and what have you and my swing has to compensate.
"Recently I've actually been hitting the ball well and scoring terribly. But I've always been driven, way too much so and I can assure you that I wouldn't be doing all this if I didn't think I couldn't still play, didn't think I could still play at the top level. I'm just going to carry on grafting, stand on that range and carry on ripping it, and wait until it turns around on the course."
Perhaps it will this week. There were signs of the renowned links masters at the Scottish Open last week. He is never more comfortable than with sand under his spikes and the sea winds ruffling his hair.
"This is the truest form of the game and it's what I grew up playing," he said. "Because I've been out on Tour so long, you play the same sort of courses week in, week out. Hit it through the air, hit it to a certain number.
"On links you're trying to land it 60, 70 yards short. You've got to use your imagination. And that's what appeals. But it isn't all love. It never is with a professional golfer, whatever they say.
"It's a love-hate relationship between the golfer and golf and at the moment for me there's probably a little bit too much hate. But whatever happens out there, at least I'm not fat any more."
Got my tickets sorted for this for Saturday, will be great to see the biggest names in golf in the flesh.

Bad start for Tiger.
Rory going well. -3 after 6!
Didn't do much research so picked 3 e/w small bets:
G Mac 25/1

Rory will struggle with the conditions today, Adam Scott could be a player that will be in the mix at the end, playing steady enough considering the wind has picked up

Plenty of no.1's over the years have missed the cut!
Incredible move by Rors to get rid of that Danish woman. She was holding him back.
He's been a revelation since he dumped her ass.
Bogey at the first for Rory

Very good - in fairness he doing ok. Must have are some salads to lose 4 stone.
Read somewhere that it has messed with his co-ordination for the back swing but no doubt when he gets that sorted he will pile the pounds on again and it will be a fecked up again !!!!
Am I a bad person for hoping this might be Sergio's year, even at Rory's expense? The same would be true even if it were any of the other Irish lads.

McIlroy would romp it - Sergio is a big a choker as there is on tour and I have backed the fecker loads of times. Rory would eat him alive!!!!!
Sergio devours the weaker players on your but can't handle Tiger or other big players on the back 9. Tiger scares his lights out .....

You'll only be happy when he fecks up, sad really. Now if he had a tricolour wrapped round him you'd be hanging out of his arse.
I did the full 10hours today. Sore back from my recliner. Rory is obviously the one to beat but i wouldnt rule out charl swartzel or louis ozthazen. They are my outside tips at the halfway stage.
Thunder and wind forecast. Shooting off in 2 groups tomorrow starting on 1 and 10, anything can happen. Feckit i cant do the sit in tomorrow!

Either way its great to see an Irishman top of the leaderboard. Bring on the haters. Rory could feck it all up tomorrow but he's given himself and his Irish supporters something to cheer about
You love the haters, you wouldn't be happy if everyone was right behind him.
;D
He has a point MR2...
I don't hate anyone, I find it strange why there is a lot of abuse thrown at Rory.
So when did I throw abuse at him ?
Did I say you? I've highlighted the part I've said, just in case

You are a bit obsessed with anyone who doesn't cream themselves over him.
I don't hate him but there are other golfers I'd like to see win instead of him.
Obsessed? I've already said I have no problems with anyone from these shores who do well and will cheer them on over players from outside of these shores (within reason) So when Darren Clarke won Gmac and Harrington all got their big ones I was chuffed. I'm not even a golf man, haven't even a set of clubs, but it's hard not to like a lad like Rory or the rest. What I don't like is the reaction over his will he won't he or the fleg issue, for me this is the main reason for some to have a go at him, though they won't actually say it
You said and I will quote you, if you don't mind - "You'll only be happy when he fecks up, sad really. Now if he had a tricolour wrapped round him you'd be hanging out of his arse."
So in that quote I said you hated him?
No dunno what gave me that idea

So I'll ask the question, do you like Rory and if you don't what are the main reasons why you dislike him
agree 100% with you MR - not a massive Golf man who doesn't even have clubs but these men are easy liked
Major winners
Rory - Twice
Padraig - Three times
Darren and GMAC
All from here and whether it this is side or down below who gives a f**k

Lets get something clear, It makes no difference to me who wins a game of golf, I've absoultley no interest in golf other than watching it if there is nothing else on. I would watch the final day and if there is some player from Ireland in with a shout I'll cheer him on. If there was a camog game on tg4 I'd rather watch that.
As for Rory, no one has given me a good (honest) reason for not liking him or for not wishing him well

Stunningly good finish by McIlroy there. Was looking forward to watching it this afternoon tho. Only caught last 3 holes there. Ive Sergio Dustin and Scott all done e/w so should make tomorrow interesting viewing even if Rory runs way with it.

My point is Rory fecked up a few years ago going into the final day with 4/5 shots up and lost by 6/7 shots I think, wasn't there some French player a load of years ago who also blew a large lead on the final day? Not uncommon and certainly happens to the best players.
All he's done has put himself into a great position, he's off to the gym, some difference to years ago when they went off to the pub!!

When his driver is on he has a massive advantage, when he is hitting his second shots on par 5s with a 5 iron 260yds high and softly into the green. Much the way Tiger was in his prime.

£50k would be pocket change these days for his Da I would have thought. Nice for the other fellas.
Fred Daly became the first Irish winner of the Open at Hoylake in 1947.
Sadly, unless Graeme McDowell or Darren Clarke can pull off a miracle, there won't be an Irish winner at the Merseyside venue today, although with Shane Lowry also there on -3, it's been a respectable performance from our players this week.
Rickie Fowler will become as big a Merseyside hero as Robbie Fowler if he can catch Pubehead. It would be truly beautiful to see another Augusta-style collapse. If he wins, it won't particularly bother me as I'm not really that interested in golf anyway.
Good luck, Rickie. Ireland is behind you.
hopefully rory can keep his form today in wat should be another proud day for Irish sport.
I don't really feel much affinity to any Irish golfer, it's very much an individual game. I was a big fan of Seve back in the day, and didn't follow any players just because they were Irish.
And no Milltown I don't "hate" McIlroy :D

Pay no heed it's exactly what he was looking for.
Anyone know what happens with bets if (unlikely as it seems) 2 players end up level and they go to a playoff? Will it be settled as a dead heat or does the winner of the playoff get paid out as the winner?

They will still pay out. I won when Garcia won the Players via a playoff.
Cheers but I meant more for the lad beat in the play off would it be settled as a 2nd place or as a deadheated winner? ???

If you backed the person who comes second to win and not done it each way then I'm pretty sure you'll win nothing.
Yeah i can't see anything other than a Mc Ilroy win myself,was just a question out of interest for future reference really. I have all my lads done e/w anyway and not looking too bad at the minute fingers crossed :-X

Could do this all day. What's your point?
(http://www.ybig.ie/forum/uploads/627/McIlroy-Tricolor.jpg)
Great front 9 by Lowry. Would be great to finish in the top 3 or 4.
Sergio playing well and only 4 behind. Still has a lot to do but would love to see him win.
Massive round so far from Sergio, plenty of twists and turns to go yet. Bit of a bump with Rory, I wonder how that will affect his game
Shane Lowry with a putt for a 65 to finish up -10
...Lowry leader in the clubhouse on -10
Quote from: AQMP on July 20, 2014, 04:07:38 PM
...Lowry leader in the clubhouse on -10
A bit far behind unfortunately but what a brilliant round of golf from him.
Fair fcuks to Shane, great interview too seems a decent down to earth fella, -10 a score of 65 is unreal
Garcia on the charge
Sergio asking the questions today. Will be impressed if McIlroy sees this through.
Par 5s are no challenge to the modern player in good weather.
Rory my crumble with the pressure Sergio is putting on.
Watch a bit of the football there, pure dung golf is slow but at least its providing attacking of some sort, Monaghan had one player up front ffs!!
Costly bogey from Sergio. That's probably the end of his race.
Pity.

No reply to question? no didn't think so you are as bad as the thon eegits at Twaddell Avenue
Good man Rory. And good man Rickie too. This golf craic's some way to make money :D
Quote from: Sidney on July 20, 2014, 09:39:08 AM
Fred Daly became the first Irish winner of the Open at Hoylake in 1947.
Sadly, unless Graeme McDowell or Darren Clarke can pull off a miracle, there won't be an Irish winner at the Merseyside venue today, although with Shane Lowry also there on -3, it's been a respectable performance from our players this week.
Rickie Fowler will become as big a Merseyside hero as Robbie Fowler if he can catch Pubehead. It would be truly beautiful to see another Augusta-style collapse. If he wins, it won't particularly bother me as I'm not really that interested in golf anyway.
Good luck, Rickie. Ireland is behind you.
Your some craic, along with your Liverpool predictions you could make a lot of money lol

I did not think Rory pushed the kid away - I thought it was a handler. I would have given the cheeky bollix a kick in the hoop.
Would I be reading too much into the fact that his Mum and Dad were never together?
Anyway great job Rory. Just the Masters to get now and anything else this year is a bonus. I do hope that Sergio gets a major soon.
Finally, what did the clown in the crowd shout that made Rory get him evicted?
Never mind Rory's flag of allegiance Dustin Johnston is some tool to have money on!! Although having Sergio and A.Scott done e/w has left me in small profit!!
In fairness to Rory he held it together well. Very difficult position to be in with such a large lead. Many golfers fail with big leads esp when someone goes on a run at them a la Garcia. Fowler also looks like he is maturing into a potential major winner also.

I think Sergio might push on but can only see him winning from behind as it seems only the really top playrrs can hold on for the final 18.

Myles has it nailed on there. One of the main complaints about McIlroy is the reluctance to say a decade of the rosary before each shot and PIRA tatooed on his knuckles. Might explain that glove he always wears!

Excellent. Every hoor that shouts "get in the hole" should get the same treatment.
The guy shouted mid swing on one of the most important shots of his career, so he was well within his rights to point out.
IMO any of those fools that shout, get in the hole or some other equally stupid remark should be ejected for the simple stupidity of it.

Yeah I think it was the final round before I heard some fool shout it at this year's Open. The Yanks are woeful for it.
If Mo Farah wins the 5 or 10k at the commonwealth games i'd say he's a shoe-in for sports personality of the year. They love the man and he hasn't received it yet and has had a tough year trying the Marathons and not quite making the grade,so it'd be a perfect opportunity. Mc Ilroy will probably get in the top 3 though. Not something he's overly fussed about i'd say anyway.

Aye Mo seems a great fella to boot, but would the CG be a big enough tournament to warrant that?
CG too small I'd expect though Kenya are in it so it's a decent enough standard. He actually may not win them both as he's been struggling with illness and it was touch and go if he'd make it... He'd need to be winning the double at least.

It usually wouldn't be but there's been no standout performers this year and like Giggs a few years ago sentiment can play a big part. Now that i think of it that sentiment could put Johnny Wilkinson in the running too.

QuoteA MINOR international incident has been averted following fresh revelations which has allowed newly crowned Open champion Rory McIlroy keep his crown and that coveted claret jug.
McIlroy, 25, was widely described as 'worse than Hitler' by the internet following his carefully calculated decision not to award a young fan with an autograph, was said to be close to being stripped of his title yesterday.
Since the incident has occurred WWN can exclusively reveal that the child was in fact Russian, rendering the on-line debate pointless with no further action being sought by the relevant authorities.
Fans of inexplicable hatred for people they've never met were said to be disappointed the child was not from a more useful place such a Gaza, Iraq or Syria.
"Despite the fact we have evidence Rory had been planning this particular autograph snub for over 12 years, no action will be taken because the kid is a bloody Russian," explained Randolph Hughes Craddock Boddington, a member of the R & A.
Not all golf fans are happy with the news that McIlroy will face no jail time for his crimes against autograph hunters.
"He's an ambassador for UNICEF Ireland and does a hell of a lot more charity work than me but when he made a decision in a split second not to sign an autograph I decided he's gotta be a right bastard. Which he is by the way, that's a scientific fact," explained avid watcher of things put up on the internet just to get a reaction from you, John Dillane.
John was not alone in his condemnation of the golfing superstar.
"If I can boil down someone's life to one benign incident which lasted .00034 of a second and judge them mercilessly I will f**king do it and you can't stop me," explained fellow internet user Cormac Treacy, "a p***k is a is p***k, is a p***k.
I've never ever done anything in my life that if circulated on the internet would see me criticised so I feel a bit of an authority on the whole thing. It's just a shame the kid is Russian, we could have got Nike to drop Rory and then see him descend into a life of poverty. It would have been great to watch".
The majority of fans of men wearing chequered pants who hit balls with sticks were said to be unmoved by this latest incident much to the chagrin of the media.

Just a quick question for all southern friends.
Was down south for a bit last week and placed a few each way bets on the golf at BoyleSports.
Anyone know how many places they pay out on?
Pretty sure they were 6 places.
He pointed him out after the swing. Transgression occurred in the downswing. Almost impossible to stop and not hit the ball.

The guy was heckling him all the way around, the finally had enough of it by the 16th and pointed the guy out. Wonderful the conclusions you can jump to when you only have half the story.

He was only going in for fried chicken!! But seriously was that on the 17th on the final day? I thought he'd went in for a piss stop
But fair play to Garcia, he was there at the end to congratulate him, must be tough on him having been so close before. Loved Fowlers attitude goes for ever shot. Won't be long for him to win a major
Good to see the good old irish begrudgery coming to the fore!
Anyway he probably recognised him as he saw him on telly before, it was this guy!

Yeah i know they throw anyone out caught shouting it, but that doesnt mean it doesnt still happen.
i remember it happening to Tiger last year or the year before.
Maybe its the US open that its more frequent, but either way its idiotic.
I also remember some one shouting bizarely ' mashed potato' as woods hit his tee shot!

she did but then said she was mistaken and that it was only a toilet stop
Never ceases to amaze me the begrudgery and general willingness of people to stick the boot into someone else at any opportunity.
On the odd occasion (not this one) it might be deserved but it's not hard to do a bit of homework on something before you post something you believe is the gospel truth. Was the same crap people slagging him off for not signing that autograph and jumping to all sorts of conclusions about that as well.

One of the American players who was partnering Monty that day went into the crowd if I am remembering right and chastised a few of those heckling him, was a brave action on their behalf. Cant remember who is was, but Davis Love sticking in my head for some reason.
It was Payne Stewart during the 1999 Ryder Cup I believe

I heard McIlroy pissed on a spectator. A guy who knows him really well was telling me that in a filling station earlier on.
Important question...is Maureen Madill British or Irish??
Ya see I always presumed she might be a far out relative of GMAC and it was Mairin Ni Dhubhghaill making her evidently one of us. But shockingly it turns out Madill is an old English name by way of France so it appears she's either a Hugenot or worse still, one of themmuns??
Our Maureen is from near Portrush I think. Strange accent (like Gmac) but I have heard her mention a few times over the years that she was brought up playing at Portrush.

This guy's best friend's brother is a taxi man. He knows a guy who used to work with Rory's Da. Apparently Rory doesn't have an Irish bone in his body and his favourite meal growing up was jellied eels and a pint of mild. He hates Riverdance, votes for UKIP and is a big fan of Morris Dancing too. He focuses on driving straight by pretending the ball is Gerry Adams' head. All true.
I'm not a fan of McIlroy, but you cannot begrudge the way he went about winning this title. His speech and conduct afterwards were exemplary. It is a pity that we don't try and celebrate the victories of sports players from this Island without trying to hang a flag on them. What will sicken my guts though over the next few weeks is the likes of OWC Watson creaming himself any time he hears the name Rory and claiming him exclusively for OWCers every where...but that is not McIlroy's fault. I think McIlroy has belatedly seen how GMAC and Clarkie conduct themselves. Good win and I think maybe more to come...Still not a fan though.

It never bothered BC1 and he raised a right few pound, and wasn't afraid to tap into the boards generosity.
Theres obviously been a fallout with Gmac, the love-in was cringeworthy pre-rors leaving the stable that got him the Nike deal, which incidently was basically Gmacs management. Gmac was gracious in his praise for Rory's play but there was no personal quotes and was very cliche after his victory(dont forget he was 1st to meet him after 2011 US open victory). Clarke was a well known ladies man long before his wife fell ill but he wasn't the 1st and will not be the last to go through that and I thought he handled himself remarkably well in those though times. However he seems to have taken Rory under his wing from the Woziroy split. Theres also lots of talk that Rorys Mum and Dad have split over his dad and his cronies getting involved in the business side of things and this was a tad obvious when Rory was celebrating after the victory.
All of the above is info I've heard but I was 100% behind rory on sunday, I'll admit it I've got green machineitis, anything that is remotely Irish I'm on their side whether it WWE, Big brother, UFC or whatever on TV. I will and always will be like that. I would class myself as Irish republican/nationalist but if Rory had chose team GB it wouldn't have changed my support. I have also followed Man utd from I was 10 and Ive no problem saying I watched the 2012 and cheered on Jessica Ennis (obv) et al, maybe its the british influence finally breaking us nordies down but hay ho

I'm not a fan of McIlroy, but you cannot begrudge the way he went about winning this title. His speech and conduct afterwards were exemplary. It is a pity that we don't try and celebrate the victories of sports players from this Island without trying to hang a flag on them. What will sicken my guts though over the next few weeks is the likes of OWC Watson creaming himself any time he hears the name Rory and claiming him exclusively for OWCers every where...but that is not McIlroy's fault. I think McIlroy has belatedly seen how GMAC and Clarkie conduct themselves. Good win and I think maybe more to come...Still not a fan though.
Get over it - He's from Northern Ireland. What do you expect the sports guy from BBC Northern Ireland to do?
Ah come on.

Erm.... granted it is a short list ;D
Never heard Jack Nicklaus and Tom Watson blowing their own trumpets and they are respectively the greatest golfer and the greatest links golfer ever.

Mickelson generally doesn't blwo himself up too much either. Always liked the way Adam Scott conducted himself as well even if his caddy is a complete douchebag!
Maybe not in public but Mickelson's nickname on tour is FIGJAM (f**k I'm good, just ask me)
One thing about Mickleson, he takes time to sign. You won't catch him pissing on his fans!
Mickelson gives off the air of the high school jock who fancies himself as being just one of the guys at the same time. It comes across as fake, even though I see very little evidence that he is anything other than sincere.
Angel Cabrera seems like a likeable big cub. I think I remember him being very gracious in defeat at the Masters that Scott won.
Quote from: WT4E on July 17, 2014, 12:02:24 PM
Didn't do much research so picked 3 e/w small bets:
G Mac 25/1
Fowler 33/1
E Molinari 200/1
So I'm happy with the way things are goin so far! ::)
Happy enough with my little bets. Done them with PP in shop he was paying 7 places not sure if it was 1/4 or 1/5 of odds.
Gmac nearly sneaked in at the end. Haven't been to lift it yet but I would say they will shorten odds on some as there was 8 people in the top 7 (if you know what I'm saying)
Anyone have any idea how it is calculated?
It was 1/4 the odds with P.P,i had Fowler €10 e/w with them at 40/1 and got €110 back so no deduction there but i'd say Molinari will be settled as a deadheat with Schwartzel(stakes halved) so if you had €10 e/w at 200/1 1/4 odds you'll get €255 back rather than the €510 you would've got if he was placed in 7th by himself.
If they pay you back the bigger amount don't argue with them though :P

http://www.golfwrx.com/99116/the-day-we-made-phil-mickelson-cry/ (http://www.golfwrx.com/99116/the-day-we-made-phil-mickelson-cry/)
There used to be a junior event in Southern California called The MacGregor Cup Matches. It pitted the best players from all the chapters, and almost 30 years ago there was a clash of the titans. A virtual "Celebrity Death Match" of golf.
It was Phil Mickelson and Harry Rudolph (another great junior player from San Diego who had a similar success on the Web.com Tour that I did) against Bob May (for those who don't remember, he had a great struggle with Tiger at the 2000 PGA) and door No. 4: namely me.
We were teenagers. I was the oldest, but the least accomplished of the four, which was not a disgrace as these were three of the greatest players in the history of junior golf in Southern California. I will just say, Phil was acting like a punk and it started on the very first tee.
"Harry, you don't even have to play, I can beat these guys by myself," he said.
That sounds like a playful boast among competitors, but it was obvious to the three of us, it was not — and that "'tude" continued without relent. By the third or forth hole it was so bad, even Harry was becoming annoyed. We then began discussing a subject that was not golf related.
I won't reveal the subject matter, but let's just say it was something that is at the forefront of the minds of teenage boys and this time, Phil was the least accomplished. OK, fine, it was teenage girls and Phil was a bit of a dork at the time and not likely to be suave with the ladies.
Trying to fit into the discussion, Phil made — how do I put this? — a faux pas. Well, the three of us sensed weakness and jumped on him without remorse and it continued through the turn. By this time, Phil was walking down opposite side the fairway by himself and was crying.
The funniest part was that he was still lighting it up on the scorecard, and despite some exceptional play from Mr. May and myself, we lost.
I did not see Phil after that for about six or seven seven years.
The question begs:
"Monte, why are you telling this story about Phil? Are you trying to make yourself look cool that you had the upper hand on one of the all time greats because you had a little more experience with teenage girls."
No, that is not why. At best it could be said I was just as afraid of girls as he was at the time, but I was just a little funnier and drove a fancier car. I tell this story because I am a huge fan of Phil and have been ever since he has been on Tour and this story is at the heart of why.
A few years ago, athletes of several sports were polled about which athlete in their own sport is the biggest jerk and most hated by his peers. To no one's surprise, Terrell Owens topped the list. It surprised many that Phil was also on the list — the only golfer who made it. He has a nickname on the PGA Tour among many players and caddies who don't care for him, FIGJAM, which stands for "(Expletive) I'm Good, Just Ask Me," and I don't get the animus.
Now back to my experience. Throughout the 90s, I lived at PGA West in La Quinta, where some famous rounds of the Bob Hope were played. One year I was hitting balls on the range because I was getting a sponsor exemption into the Bob Hope (it was later given to Mac O'Grady before the tournament started, but that is a story for another time) and here comes Phil walking right toward me. He was the new star on Tour and the darling of all the fans.
"Monte, how are you?" he asked.
"Good Phil, thanks," I said.
"Congratulations on winning the long drive championship, how's the rest of your game doing? Hoping to see you out here soon," Phil said.
"Thank you, I am hoping to be out here soon too," I said. "Um, Phil, forgive me for saying so, but I am surprised you are talking to me, since the last time I saw you, Bobby, Harry and I weren't very nice to you."
"Nah, I was being a punk and I deserved it, good luck this week," he said.
I saw him a few more times after that and he went out of his way to say hello and encourage my progress to join him on the Tour. It is the opinion of this golfer that Phil is a class act and many of his peers don't like him because he does what he wants and doesn't care what other people think. The number of fans that love and root for him is second only to Tiger.
He is always there for the media, the autograph seekers and pro-am partners. The same cannot be said for many of the other Tour stars. Even though I was a player myself, I am still a fan of golf. And I put Phil's first major victory at Augusta as one of favorite golf moment as a fan.

Nice article Puck.
Similar to a story told to me last week by the brother of a former Irish PGA journeyman. He said Harrington came up to the brother not long after he started and couldn't be nicer and offered him tips etc. Said he was a true gentleman and when they bumped into each other a few years ago Harry remembered his name and had a lot of time for him despite one being a multiple major winner and one a club pro. He said the exact opposite is true of Clarke - "a horrible human being" was how he was described!
The thing I admire the most about Phil is his course persona. It is hard to keep a friendly expression on your chops when you hit a shitty shot, or when you hit a bunch of them in a row! It is hard even within your weekend foursome. Even the boul Rory's body language betrays him when the chips are down, but when you look at Phil when he's playing like Orior in front of thousands - he's still smiling. In my opinion it's a sign that he knows how lucky he is, how hard the game is, and that he's in the public eye as a role model. He hits a strange combination of some of the best and some of the worst shots on tour.
Maybe hes just a big daftie :)

Yeah your right they paid out half the odds after a small argument that it was F Molinari on the slip not E.
Only wish I had the 10 e/w on it you described! lol

I remember David Walsh or someone in the Times saying he could be very difficult, and kept a black book of anyone that "crossed" him.

[/quote]No, by many accounts, including his own (he may describe his moods in different terms than I have). Did you think "The Prince of Darkness" tag was given to him because he was a fan of horror movies?! ::)
His coach called him Prince of Darkness because he was hard on himself when his golf was shite and became moody. He flushed my friend's head down the toilet at school. But, by all accounts, he has mellowed.
