tiger's the man!!

Glad i backed him - 5to1 before the start - that's a steal on Tiger.

DJT75 · 21-07-2006, 9:27 AM

I was gonna take full advantage of Stan James account with a £25 free bet & slap it on Mickelson at 10-1 but after seeing Tiger eagle that 18th, I think he could finish this weekend 18+ under.

This year I think its going to be a european maybe not a brit but a european none the less!
I hate Woods he is sterile and well lets face it, American! he is the Steve Davis of Golf. A machine who is devoid of compassion!

DJT75 · 21-07-2006, 10:06 AM

That's harsh on Steve Davis

M-C-P-M · 21-07-2006, 10:42 AM

Oh bugger! he's winning!

I'm sure ladbrooks had him at 6-1 . He was looking a poor choice until the final 3 holes . All day they were saying that those holes could shape the outcome, and looks like they will . Don't think he had a driver out until the 14th . 2 Iron all the way

Lucky shot . Everyone else may as well go home now

Istanbul_Kop · 21-07-2006, 11:43 AM

I'm going down tomorrow.

Can't be sniffed at when it's right where you live.

DJT75 · 21-07-2006, 2:24 PM

Mylo · 21-07-2006, 4:34 PM

booyaka · 21-07-2006, 10:27 PM

hope so - he was 6-1 but back down to 5-1 due to 2 x £50k bets that were put on him @ 6's!!

Oh God don't tell me he's mastered the art of crying as well!

All kidding to one side, he has a very good reason to be emotional his dad, Earl has only just died and he was Tiggers inspiration through out his whole life, so i'll give him that one.

Really, thought that was Winnie the Pooh!

Istanbul_Kop · 23-07-2006, 9:02 PM

Went on Saturday and Sunday.

Only about 15-20 minutes to get there.

Was there just before 8am to the end of play both days.

Had a great weekend. A dream come true. Everything was perfect (except the SPAZ who threw the flour bombs)

Didn't see that - what happened?

FeisalK · 24-07-2006, 12:34 AM

purple flour bombs on the 18th green.

commentators were saying - Augusta forbids mobile phones (among lots of other things) on the course, so why not Hoylake.

booyaka · 24-07-2006, 8:40 AM

shame that one idiot has to ruin it for the 150,000 that go and behave.

Great win from tiger. Total commitment to the execution of a plan, and wonderful display of accurate golf.

Well done tiger.

(heads to bookies to collect money from tigers win!)

JohnG · 24-07-2006, 9:05 AM

They reckon that the idiot was one of those "fathers for justice" morons who are doing their cause more harm than good with this kind of silly behaviour.

Istanbul_Kop · 26-07-2006, 1:34 PM

Confirmed by the BBC.

It was two idiots from the North East (Sunderland and Newcastle) under the Fathers for Justice guise.

Istanbul_Kop · 26-07-2006, 5:04 PM

I was especially pleased with this one considering he had a little nazi running around with him telling us to put down the cameras (or die)...
