    Made me wonder if he was on the juice when he got so buff about 8-10 years ago.

    He was a bit dumpy when he shot 59 and played so well that year. Maybe his swing is better when he has a fat ass.

    Puhleeze.

    Hate to break it to you, spinner, but they gave out Claret Jugs before Tiger was born.

    Just an educated guess, but I'm guessing they'll be giving them out after he, Elin and their four kids are living on their private island.

    The winner of this Open has nothing to apologize for.

    I agree with Hawkins. If they can call it the "U.S. Masters" and "U.S. PGA" we can call it the British Open.

    Thanks for the assist, D-3, but just as an FYI, the PGA Trophy and Wanamaker Trophy are one and the same.

    You're thinking of the U.S. Open Championship Cup.

    According to this guy, Tiger is not only indeed bigger than the game but he has a "paunch" as well.

    Especially considering Nicklaus was still a semi-regular when he won the Masters. He played 15 events in '86 and 74 combined in the previous five season before he won the Masters. Norman, on the other hand, is playing in his his fourth event this year and has played 17 in the previous five years combined. It's not even close.

    I didn't say he did. You're totally missing the point.

    First of all, Norman's not winning. But if he did, come on. These other guys have a chance to pocket a major with Tiger out of the field, and they let a 53-year old who doesn't even play golf any more win the British Open? If that happens, they're gutless pukes. I'm sorry, but it's true.
