Frickin Olazabal is +9. I had 3 different bets on him, which I lost. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

i think he may be one of my least favorite players on tour.

talk about no charisma. ugh.

DiMarco is pwning the field right now. 6 shot lead. That is sick.

I always thought he would win a major, but not wire to wire.

My guess is he'll have a 2-3 shot lead on either Tiger or Vijay going into the final round. Should be interesting.

Don't count your chickens before they hatch. DiMarco doesn't exactly have a great track record holding leads.

Bill Murphy · #84 04-09-2005, 06:32 PM

Dimarco & Bjorn teeing off at 5:45=preposterous. Gonna be lucky to get 9 holes. Already pretty squinty. Makes no sense at all; they shoulda been out there at 7am to finish up the second round, so now they'll be out really early Sunday when its all on the line? Fvcking sucks we won't be able to watch the leaders play the back nine of the third round; not like anything important is likely to happen. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

But, hey, it's their tournament...

Dimarco is a terrible front runner(and Bjorn ain't that great of one either) but he may be too far ahead( 3 over Bjorn and 5 over Tiger) as I type this. He'll have to play the back nine twice tomorrow, so who knows. Anyone else other than Bjorn & Woods is gonna need a 64-3 tomorrow plus some help.

Really going out on a limb, huh?

Yeah, the coverage of this year's tournament is kind of ass. Can't CBS afford a few more early afternoon hours for golf?

Tiger makes the turn at -5 for the day, -9 for the championship.. I can pretty much see where this is going, and it makes me have to choke down some vomit. DiMarco's front 9 today, while very nice, had all the makings of being a total disaster.

It's going to take some kind of Herculean effort for DiMarco to hold off Tiger tomorrow. I really hope he can manage it.

I'm predicting tiger wins by 2

ClaytonN · #88 04-09-2005, 08:19 PM

I just can't see DiMarco holding on.

He impressed me with his saves, but we saw how he handled being in the final pairing last year. Imagine that, plus having Tiger on your ass.

Ready for this one?

Tiger wins by four.

I'm dreading something similar.. although maybe closer to what slickpoppa suggested.

Regardless, Tiger is going to end up as the world number one again. blech.

Bill Murphy · #90 04-09-2005, 08:31 PM

I think Tiger will win by one, in a playoff. He's never won a major from behind, but I see him doing DiMarco like he did Phil at Doral.

Then again he's never shot a 61 in a final round of a major either; you know he's gonna do it at some point, he was blazing today, so yeah he could win by four. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] He's certainly much stronger(physically & mentally) than CDM or Bjorn, although Bjorn popsicled him in Dubai a few years back.

Actually the more I think about it, the more like Doral this seems.

BTW sounds like a lot of players are p1ssed about the delays and screwups getting the third round going. Guess Goose & Shingo tee off on 1. Turns out they shouldn't be playing together AND they both should be starting on 10. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
