Amazing the difference in putting between tiger and troy. It's gotta be 20 shots in 2 rounds. :mj07:
Great week for the ball strikers.. elk boo and durant.
Find it kind of humorous that I back dean wilson on part that he was first with like 88% in fairways the first 2 days..and hes barely at 40% today.
Oh yea.. also love when guys hole crazy bunker shots on ya

Shot 2 in the hole

in more ways than one--however birdie would have been fine.
Believe they call this tourney early today--don't see how they'll attempt it if weather is remotely accurate-doubt 1st group goes off.

yea asapsports.com has a transcript about this.
I think they get 72 in should be interesting though since Tiger has to go to Dubai.. I really hope they dont call it since a few of my matches are trailing
MARK RUSSELL: We don't have a very good forecast for tomorrow. It's national news. Our meteorologists say that we can expect from an inch or two of rain possibly, but hopefully it'll get out of here in the morning and we can play some golf in the afternoon.
We're going to try. That's about all I can say. We'll just have to wait and see what happens. They've never missed a forecast. The forecast has always been right on, just like those 20 mile-an-hour winds we were supposed to have this afternoon, and it was dead calm, so we'll see.
Q. We were supposed to have four days of rain if you go back to Monday.
MARK RUSSELL: That's exactly right.
Q. If you can't play tomorrow would you just call it 54 or try to go to Monday?
MARK RUSSELL: No, we have a mandate to play 72 holes, so if we can't play tomorrow we'll definitely look at the forecast for Monday. They're calling for showers Monday, but we'll take a closer look at that tomorrow. We'll definitely play 72 holes.
Q. At what point would you not play Monday? What would you have to hear about the Monday forecast in order to say that you weren't going to play Monday?
MARK RUSSELL: If it was really, really bad and the golf course was just unplayable and supposed to continue into Monday, we'd take a look at that. We're mandated to play 72 holes.
If half the field finishes the final round tomorrow, that round must stand.
Q. Is it a consideration at all that if the course is soaking wet and we've got pedestrians out there that the golf course can take some pretty serious wear and tear, given what's down the road in June? Is that a worry at all?
MARK RUSSELL: No, it would never enter our minds. It's got time to recover no matter what happens. It's months away, and they can do whatever they need to do. It couldn't damage it that bad.
Q. Are there specific concerns on the South Course that you've seen about -- whether it be a bunkering -- it wasn't redesigned very long ago.
MARK RUSSELL: We sat down with Mark Woodward and talked to him this morning. He talked about a couple places where he might have a problem. He thought we could handle that. He thought the landing area at 1 would puddle. But once again, he said we don't normally get two inches of rain here.
Our main concern is the bunkers. We just have to see how they drain and what we can do. And they've got a lot of volunteers, a lot of staff to help them tomorrow. They'll rent the pumps and whatever. So if it'll stop raining I think we'll get the golf course ready to play.
Q. This is going to sound like I'm being sarcastic but I'm not. Should the guy at the top of the leaderboard and the lead he's got factor into the decision at all?
MARK RUSSELL: No, there's no mercy rule. We're not playing little league baseball (laughter). Charles Howell asked me that this morning, is there a mercy rule if Tiger has got a big lead. I told him no.
So we'll see what happens. You know, we might get lucky. Forecast isn't good, but we're going to come out. The staff is going to take a look at it, Torrey Pines staff. Mark Woodward and his people are ready to go, and we'll see if we can play. If it stops raining and we can get the golf course ready, shouldn't be a problem. We'll just have to wait and see.
I've heard a lot of gloom-and-doom things and it didn't quite turn out that bad. Hopefully we can finish tomorrow.

Would question his "mandate" or they wouldn't have put no ticket refund info on site--would they ?

If they play ..
Round 4 plays (1pt)
Dustin Johnson to beat Tim Herron +105 @ Five Dimes
The rookie has finished 10th and 12th in two PGA Tour starts this year, so I see no reason why he can't beat Herron who has beaten par around the South Course just once in his last thirteen attempts
Stewart Cink to beat Aaron Baddeley -103 @ Five Dimes
Similar record for Baddeley: in 15 attempts, he has yet to beat 70 around the South Course, whereas Cink has done it twice this week already. Cink may be paired with Tiger in the last round, but it is hardly a pressure situation
Matt Jones to beat John Mallinger -108 @ Pinnacle
Finishes of 17th and 29th this year show that Jones has made a good transition from the Nationwide Tour, so he deserves favouritism against Mallinger
Bill Haas to beat Troy Matteson +103 @ Five Dimes
Matteson is clearly the better player, but it is difficult to see Matteson rebounding from the problems that he has had over the last couple of days

This Matteson play all of a sudden is getting very interesting. Got a 3 footer for birdie on 17.
Really hoping for brutal weather the last few holes.. please gambling gods please, I will take a push as well..
Dogs did you get my email? Our Southerland over Gore play is looking good :00hour

Tiger Woods to win +125
Still not what i was hoping for with matchups, but the lines are so much tougher than my previous 2 years of capping. I do think Tiger is vulnerable in the desert next week.. especially with Stenson.

:0corn Good pick there dogs..
I had rory at 26 - 1 to win sans tiger, but looked like i just missd that one.
...did o.k. with the matchups this weekend, but lost all 6 of my outright plays, including 3 from the seniors. What the funk happened to Funk on Sunday? :shrug: ...and I would have won my Langer top 5 play had he sunk his par putt on 18. :cuss:
