frick that i want the, fresh as a whistle
He did. Actually it has been said by every president in one way or another. FDR said, “even my crippled ass likes a great pair of tits!”
That was a flawless round. No one was catching him today.
Flawless? Really?Your second sentence is accurate. It all hinged on that third hole. That was at least a three shot swing based on where their tee shots went.
Okay how about "nearly" flawless since I guess we're splitting hairs now. 4 birdies and a bogey not including 18 when he was already in the clubhouse in his head was a round anyone will take on Sunday.And since we're getting super duper technical, no, it didnt all hinge on the shot on the 3rd. He made a couple of great par saving putts that were as big if not bigger. His outs from missed tee shots were also "near" flawless as well.A nice $2.7 mill for 4 days of work aint bad.
The third hole was enormous. Smith had cut it to one. He hit an awful tee shot that was fortunate to end up behind the obstruction that allowed the drop into a wide open look at the green. The pitch for birdie likely winds up 10-15 feet past the hole if it hadn’t banged the pin and they probably both would’ve bogeyed. He deserved to win. No question. But that was the type of huge break that is pivotal for an ultimate champion.
Smith derailed at 12 he’s scrambling hard now .That double eagles on 13 and chip ins on 18 from Rory and Morikawa was great theater.
I just want to get paid for sucking ass
I'll never be able to understand why people think golf is interesting, let alone entertaining. Worse than soccer.
Then Smith was back to even after 4 after 2 boges. So much for the challenge. It looked like there was a chance to get back after 10 & 11, where Smith started the late close, but...12. Part of me wishes Smith doesnt hit that shot fat, because that might've made for some great golf.
Having slept on it, I realize I overstated the importance of that hole to the day overall. At the time it happened, it was huge. And getting the drop obviously saved him at least one shot. It was certainly not the only reason he won, because he still had to and did play great afterward. Smith’s shot on 12 was really unfortunate. He’d just made that incredible approach and birdie on 11 and it looked to be game on. I was happy for him to get the two late birdies to regain some of the lost ground.
Answering my own question, and I’m a little surprised at how spot on I was. A $150,000 hole is indeed interesting:3rd place alone: 1,020,0004th place alone: 720,000Splitting: 870,000 each (this is where Smith stayed with a par)
It's also possible that with how clutch that shot was, it fucked with Smith's head and was part of the bogies on 3 & 4. Maybe, maybe not. I will say as someone who is not a fan of the game, that is one of the more interesting aspects of it; that being the mental game. The ball doesn't move, there's no one defending it, or trying to keep it out of the goal. The only difference between the practice swing and the contact swing is that you're 3 inches closer to the ball. It really should be the easiest game in the world to play, but it's not. And as someone who is not a fan of the game, I can appreciate the mental toughness it takes to win a Major. These guys weren't even carrying their own bags. They were just walking 18 holes with lots of breaks to stop. Yet watching them walk off of 18 you'd think they had just been thru a physical battle.
