Tiger is one of the few that comes back from something like that, he hits some terrible T shots and still comes out good. He seemed very well focused.

And Tiger is only in his early 40’s.

[CurtEgerer]

Dustin Johnson is going to move back to No 1 in the world by quite a large margin. He just seemed to be the invisible man again with hardly any TV coverage He's just out there quietly doing his thing and at the end everybody's surprised he's just 1 shot back. The guy's a workhorse. Pretty sure Koepka will move to No 2.

But Tiger won 1.2 million for this.

More like $2 million...

I'm not sure what your point is??? The world rankings don't have anything to do with earnings, only results on the course. The Masters and other majors are heavily weighted in the points earned for positions 1-2-3. So there's going to be some significant movement in the rankings tomorrow morning.

[BeyGon]

the point is he will get by,

Why were fans booing Kuchar?, or it seemed they were.

Kooch, Kooch!! His name shortened.

Good on you Tiger. Like Curt said, any one of about 10 guys could have won that tournament. That was about the most exciting back nine at the Masters I have ever seen.

Thanks, I get it now. Same as Loochin' for Milan Lucic

[CurtEgerer]

I know I could get by on $2 mil, not sure about Tiger



World Golf Rankings:

Before the tournament started my daughter asked me who to pick for her office pool. I told her to take Tony Finau. His game sets up great for Augusta. He was right there, but 12 did him in (as well as Molinari).

Great tournament. So many had a chance to win. Tiger played some amazing shots and made all the putts. Molinari made all the putts - until he didn’t. As they say, “at the Masters, the tournament starts on the back nine on Sunday.” That turned out to be true again.

[CurtEgerer]

So who's watching the PGA Championship this week? Koepka posted the lowest 36-hole score in major tournament history at 12 under - he looks unstoppable but, of course, 2 days to go And it looks like Jordan Spieth is finally playing well again!

[javadog]

I’ve been watching some of it, when I can. It looks like it’s Koepka’s tournament to lose.

[widgeon13]

Did the whore master miss the cut (upps, did I spell that correctly)?

[CurtEgerer]

Tiger got cut yesterday, 17 shots off the lead Unfortunately, John Daly got cut too, but went out in style

[CurtEgerer]

So it looks like Brooks has a good shot at making history tomorrow. First player in the history of golf to hold 2 back-to-back Majors titles at the same time. If he wins, he'll have won the 2018 and 2019 PGA Championships and the 2017 and 2018 US Opens (2019 US Open is next month).

[javadog]

He’s been playing really good golf lately, I think he’s bound to win this weekend.

[CurtEgerer]

Turned out to be a good tournament towards the end with DJ making a good run at it and getting within 1 stroke. Brooks has now won 4 Majors in less than 2 years and has moved up to No. 1 in the world and money leader for 2019 at $6 million! Not bad. US Open up next in June.

[t6dpilot]

I missed this one. Brooks certainly looked like he would run away with it. Nice to see that DJ made a run at the end. He just stoically gets "it" done. I honestly did not think that Tiger would be in it from the beginning. His pregame comments didn't sound confident.

John Daly is a mess...
