I'm loving that Sergio and Tiger have the same odds. Do I smell another wager??

Hey man, I was looking forward to a little payday when Sergio nearly won the Players, and Tiger missed the cut while Sergio finished a respectable T18 at the US Open.

so I DUNNO MAN I DUNNO HOW THIS WHOLE BETTING THING WORKS ANYMORE.

I assume you mean a non-Titleist ball player? Because Oosthuizen games the Pro V1x but uses Ping clubs.

As for Scott specifically, he's gone T25, 2, T3, and T5 in his last 4 Open starts. But in the years they've played at St. Andrews...

2000 - CUT
2005 - T34
2010 - T27

Any takers?!

Duval defeats Watson in a playoff.

I'll have what he's having.

Although, I'd rather see Tom Watson prevail. What a story that would be. Final Open appearance for the guy, and that would make for SIX Open championships.

I still wish ill upon Stewart Cink for beating Tom Watson in that playoff in 2009. Cink should have just bowed out and let potentially the greatest story line in the history of the sport play out.

Dude, it's not even close. He would have been the oldest major champion by 11 years, and 13 years older than Nicklaus when he won his 18th. Until somebody breaks Nicklaus's record or records the calendar grand slam, Watson winning the Open Championship one more time would have been the top.

Plus, who likes Stewart Cink anyway?

I will wager Adam Scott vs. a non-Titleist staffer. If they finish better, I will order a dozen of the balls they play. If Scott finishes better, to equalize costs, last year's Pro V1x that's currently on sale will do.

Nobody took you up on it.

Tiger just beating balls as fast as possible on the range. Looks like a man on a mission.

Or a weekend hacker who's running late to his tee time. We'll see in a bit!

I want to grow up to hit the ball like DJ. Is that too much to ask? So much power, and he makes it look so easy. I'll even take the shoddy putting.

Rumor was at the height of Tiger's dominance, he would free-hand a straight line on his ball while walking to the first tee.

He was just spotted using an alignment aid to draw his line. Pack it in, Tiger fans. He's done.

Edit - Getting NASCAR vibes out of Sergio's hat. I love that he's a company man, but it's a little busy, even for my garish tastes.

Edit 2 - I just can't get behind Hideki Matsuyama's swing tempo. The deliberate pause at the top is jarring to me. Almost like he's questioning his choice right before pulling the trigger.

Edit 3 - What the Christ, Tiger's sweating through his hat. What a range session.

Haha kinda looked like Tiger hit that fat. He also looks like poo poo, is he ill?

I wouldn't read too much into his sniffles. He's always sniffing and hocking up loogies on the course. But the crowd didn't applaud for his tee shot, that's true. I'm actually okay with a 120+ yardage in. Too many guys could get too cute.

Confirmed - 135 yards. And into the swilcan burn.

Does anybody ever attempt to play out of it? Can you retrieve your ball after the hole is finished and use it on the next hole? I know he doesn't need it, but hey.

Edit - Since this will just be a stream of consciousness thread, if one player's poor play can affect a playing partner, Oost must not enjoy having to start play with Tiger for two straight majors lol.

Pretty amusing to see Johnson carry that hill by a mile, Matsuyama bounce off and over it, and Spieth to get rejected by it.

I don't know who said it, but on ESPN, they showed some kid with his cap pulled all the way down over his face, being led around by the hand, looking completely lost.

Amidst laughter, somebody quipped, "You know, I sometimes feel like that, too. Especially after bogeying the first two holes."

Yeah those TM drivers sound weird most of the time anyway. Can't really tell what's happened. I like my Titleist, gives a satisfying crack if I get it right.

He 100% caught just a bit of ground right before the ball. Doesn't matter when you're swinging 120+ off the tee. He looked down, muttered, "drat it," then stepped on it before walking off.
