Double Agent Posted June 16, 2008 Author Share Posted June 16, 2008 Agreed. Does the guy just hit it so far that he makes up for it rarely being on the fairway? His distance helps...no question. He's so strong that the rough doesn't affect him like it does most. But his biggest asset (aside from his putter) is his long irons. So if he hits a bad tee shot (assuming the lie is decent), he can put a 4 iron on average as close as most pros can their 7 iron. But when it's said and done, his putting makes him the best ever. I've never seen anyone make so many crucial putts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anybody that can sink pressure putts the way he does deserves a BIG !!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmarc117 Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 gotta love rocco wearing the red and black today just like tiger!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double Agent Posted June 16, 2008 Author Share Posted June 16, 2008 I'm actually staying home today so I can watch it. My boy woke up not feeling well so it gave me a good excuse to forward my calls and work from home. I hope this is close. I want it to be entertaining.

boat_hacked Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 those tiger celebrations are starting to bug me. +1 They've been bugging me for a while.To me, it seems the golf media just gets down on their knees when mentioning Woods Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramhock Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Anyone know how the yardage setup for today was determined? I know the course can be setup between 7200 - 7600. Yesterday was 7200. Obviously, the shorter the better for Rocco. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyBalata Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Rocco has had some openings the last few holes and choked all over them. I think he's lost his mojo he had over the weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd root for anyone playing against him. I've really come to appreciate how good he is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darin3 Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 I don't follow golf, but since I'm home with my son today, I thought I'd watch. First nine holes were interesting. But what about the next nine? ESPN switched to soccer. Is the rest of the course on TV? It's on NBC now. I work from home so I have the luxury of watching... although I'm not too big of a golf fan. Watching a bit though, as it's pretty exciting seeing guys go head to head for all the marbles like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazinib1 Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 I'm so glad you guys are getting alittle taste of golf in San Diego. This city is such an AWESOME place to hold venue's of this magnitude.

Now if we can only get the SB back we'd be aight. Meh. 33 years in SoCal was enough for me. But yeah, that course is nails. Hope the weather holds up for the remainder of the week. Will be out in SoCal Wed-Fri. Funny thing is, talked to my Pops yesterday and he said it was pretty warm. Like 75 degrees. Yeah, that's our LOW temp this week.

Holy crap, then Tiger almost hits his long putt (from just off the rough). Edit... literally an inch from dropping. Tiger +1, Rocco even after 16.
