Golf The SHARK!, British Open 2008

[Benny_]

I am planning on watching it all. Its very tough conditions again today with only a couple players breaking par so far, which i think is a good thing for Norman.

 

[Pigdog]

I've already rang in sick.

If he wins I might crack open a good bottle of red and get on it.

Can't wait for his tee off in about an hour's time.

I'm glad you don't work for me

Rightio, I'm in for the long haul - anyone else here?

Update: has already lost the lead. After just three holes.

Bogey, Bogey start for Norman. With the tough conditions, i wouldnt be surprised if +7 or +8 wins.

 

[Benny_]

s**t another wayward drive leads to another bogey. Harrington with a very good up and down from the sand. Harrington +4 Norman +5

LOL, the choke is in.

First 3 holes = 3 bogeys.

Long way to go in this tournament ...

 

[YOTC]

It's over PigDog....

 

[red+black]

Long way to go in this tournament ...

I agree. After being +2 after 3 yesterday, he went even over the remaining 15 holes.

No way is he out of it. But starting +3 after 3 could **** with his head, just like it ****s with ours

 

[YOTC]

No doubt those mental scars are going to hurt him. He's reliving 1996 @ Augusta in his head at this moment probably.

 

[Pigdog]

In the think stuff on 6, needs to make no more than a 5 here.

 

[bigburger]

Maybe those shots at the start were the ones he needed to drop. Now the pressures off him a bit and he atleast has 15 holes to make them up again. Having that 2 shot lead was a bit of a godsend.

 

[Pigdog]

Harrington is a rock... Just so solid, it's Faldo all over again.

Spewing he got into the last group, Norman needed to be playing with someone like KJ again.

 

[red+black]

lol at KJ Choi who's in choke city. 4 through 8 all bogeys.

Norman 1 off the pace.

 

[red+black]

woohoo, Padraig goes bogey bogey.

Norman tied for 1st after 8.

 

[Benny_]

Players just shredding shots +10 might win. Norman back level with Harrington.

Harrington is a rock... Just so solid, it's Faldo all over again.

Certainly felt like it until the last two holes...back-to-back PH bogies puts the Shark back in the hunt.

All square...and PH drives into the rough on the right...there's still hope.

Come on Shark, we need a birdie soon just to really put this Irish prick some pressure

 

[TheTrav]

I was going to cue up this

But it seems as the shark is making a comeback, not choking after all.

 

[Pigdog]

Someone tell that pommy upstart Poulter to **** right off!!!

 

[evertonfc]

The Shark has the sniff of Irish blood.

1 up with nine to play in the British Open.

I believe.

 

[evertonfc]

Even after 11...Shark must make an up-and-down here.

 

[bullish23]

Someone tell that pommy upstart Poulter to **** right off!!!

Agree. Never been of a fan of his. Massive ego.

The shark is a bit all over the shop today. Needs a birdie at some point, but his iron approaches aren't really putting him in a decent position.

 

[bullish23]

2 putts now have slipped out of the cup. One for birdie and then for a saving par. Luck not with him today.
