I don't get the Tiger hateboner.

Posted by inargunzargun (aka mud) Jun 20 '09, 17:40

he had a bad 1st round with the weather and a coupla double-bogeys

there's two rounds left and he's within 11! That's a possible with him.

I'm rooting for Weir

He's not firing well this tourney, yet NBC won't stop talking about how he's got a chance - Will Hunting Jun 20, 18:14 11
- If he shoots 2 more over he misses the cut. That said, I get it. If Tiger isn't in the hunt it's a few ratings points on Nielsen ratings. - Redmond Jun 20, 18:30
- There is precedence for him pulling off a comeback like this. -- nm - David Jun 20, 18:26 9
  - not at a US Open -- nm - dug Jun 20, 18:34 8
    - Is the methodology fundamentally different there? -- nm - David Jun 20, 19:04 7
      - Yes. To make up 11 shots on 2/3 of the field at a normal course, you'd need to shoot about 63-63. - Will Hunting Jun 20, 19:32
      - 11 strokes back at the AT&T Pro Am is not nearly the same as 11 strokes back at a US Open course - dug Jun 20, 19:10 5
        
        He'd need to shoot about a 65 both days to give himself any shot. - Will Hunting Jun 20, 19:28
        
        So, it's the same? Got it. -- nm - David Jun 20, 19:20 3
        
        no, the course setup is totally different for an Open and the field is better by an order of magnitude - dug Jun 20, 19:24 2
        
        11 is 11. Got it. - David Jun 20, 19:32 1
        
        If you think the US Open allows scoring like any other golf tournament, you're the one mistaken. - Will Hunting Jun 20, 19:38
he could have missed the cut and NBC would still be talking up ways for him to come back and win the tournament -- nm - dug Jun 20, 17:42
