So, does the first person who takes a lead win?

How are we looking? I'm stuck at work and there aren't good play by play options for golf.

After hitting the front of the gallery, Rocco had to take a drop, while tiger put it on the green

shooting fore the win (Tiger)

[BigSlick]

Rocco is seriously trying to choke this thing away. Two straight tee shots in the bunker.

 

This thing is over. Tiger's gonna hit a great second shot to birdie and Rocco will par.

The 168th best golfer in the game is choking? No, he's just playing at his level.

 

He played magnificently, excellent game. Happy to see Tiger win

[hardcorecubfan]

Tiger misses by 4 inches, leaves it close

[hardcorecubfan]

rocco, misses putt and Tiger wins

[evv98]

Now really...Ballgame.

Ugh, why does golf take so long? This is entertaining and yet so boring at the same time.

this is coming from a guy that likes soccer. You know the old saying about soccer and golf. We love to play it because it is so boring to watch.

You have to feel for Mediate. This was probably his only chance to get a Major...and twice led by a stroke going into the final hole to have the greatest golfer of our generation snatch it away.

[Sammy Sofa]

So awesome.

 

VIVE LE TIGRE.

I'm going to be honest, Rocco moved pretty fast and those 18 holes didn't seem that long to me

I wouldn't say Tiger snatched anything away.

[evv98]

Tiger is a machine.

 

He will be revealed as the fifth Cylon on BSG next January.

There is no way I could watch 18 holes of golf. I started watching after the 16th and it still got boring.

He had to birdie the 18th each time, and hit some knee-knocking shots to do so. Mediate didn't make it easy for him to win this thing.

Not even close to the same thing. In golf they hit a shot, walk 200 yards, then stand over the ball for 30 second, then walk around it for few more, talk to the caddy and then hit the shot. Putts are even worse because they walk around the ball for a minute looking at every single angle and slope, then take some practice swings, look at the lie a little more, take a couple more practice swings and then finally shoot the ball.

[Banedon]

What a fantastic tournament.

watching an 18-hole playoff is different than a regular tournament round though. Watching 18 goes much quicker when they keep showing the shots of dozens of other golfers. That being said. It's not a sit and watch sport. It's a great thing to have on in the background while doing other things.
