Had to chuckle when he was asked what he screamed after he sunk the putt on the last of the regulation 72 holes. For a moment he couldn't think, then an Aussie journo reminded him "C'MON AUSSIE!!!!!".

He said with a big grin "I'm not sure Steve (his NZ caddy) appreciated me yelling that at him." Very Happy

There's all kinds of jiggery that can be tweaked before it leaves the camera.

Good decision for his caddie to leave Woods.

It could've been one of mine too, but I nodded off between Cabrera's approach to the second play off hole and everyone hugging and high-fiving Scott.

He has some game trike. Sadly, we still see too much Tiger/fat Phil & not enough of others playing well at the time.

Aye, goes without saying unfortunately. Boring bastards, and featured groups are also the pits.

Apparently he was calling from Australia, had an english accent and muttered something about a bad day.

Must be the worst Masters for Seppos. Only 3 in the top 10

Heh, Harrington's was also an intent viewer who saw the ball move half an inch when the ball was being placed. Bad day for referee people too.

Mick Sawyer wrote:The more I think about the "ruling' his drop was legal the more p*ssed I get. How the f*ck is 2 yards as "near as possible"?

It's no surprise Woods didn't uphold well established ethical protocol.

And the officials bending over to accommodate for his sake. Next time I'll just sign a scorecard of 36 and have a streak around Poona club.

I'm not sure it was his decision & Woods has made his way back to # 1.

Always good to see a player who has self-destructed in a major come back and win one, you never want someone to be remembered for something like that.

Could well be more to come for him now, though the amount of players the commentators tip to win multiple majors gives the impression there's about 20 of them available per year...

Scotty, me up beaming.

Well done to the Banjo, only 4 Australians in the field and they get 3 in the top 5.
Another case of "Ding Dong the Witch is dead"

Scott is actually a Barrel, born in Adelaide, and his family moved to the Sunshine Coast when he as 9.

jgk is the master

You could make a lot of money through commissions on your woofing. The Masters was just the second major played since that prediction.

A go on his girlfriend would suffice.

Or is he not with Ana anymore?

He would at least have her phone number though.

I'd like to take this opportunity to toot my own horn by re-posting my remarks from that thread:

Golf is notoriously hard to predict because there are so many variables, but I'd be surprised if Scott finished his career without winning a major (in the same way I'm surprised Montgomerie never won one).

Scott has finished second in two majors in the past two years. His game has been very consistent and if he keeps putting himself up there it's likely he'll win one at some stage. Nick Price, Curtis Strange and Greg Norman all went on to win their first major after experiencing horrible collapses.

Scott displayed nerves of steel in last year's Masters - unfortunately for him Schwartzel went on a birdie blitz over the last four holes.

If Scott does win a major down the track it will be all that much sweeter because of what happened last week. It's why suffering is an integral part of sport.

You suck at reverse woofing Hass.
