Started my day...bogey, double, shanked 7 iron on par 3. Was furious. 47 on front 9. 39 on back. Striped the ball.

Golf is insane. Brother beat me only second time ever. Was down 5 after 9. Tied it up on 17 and he had two crazy up and downs to beat me by one.

i've asked for 2 autographs in my life. One was keith lee when i was a young memphis state fan. I remember my mom had given me a nice pen and he kept it and i got in trouble. The other was ben crenshaw. He was behind me at starbucks near destin going to play on the sr tour. I asked him if he would sign my hat and i bought his coffee for him.

I'm not really surprised by this, but I'm a little surprised it made it out into the media:

"He didn't ask us nothing," marshal Gary Anderson said Sunday, according to a report by Sports Illustrated. "We didn't say nothing. We're told not to talk to the players."

Chief marshal John North was also present for Woods' controversial shot on the par-5 hole.

"Nothing was said to us and we certainly said nothing to him," North said, according to Sports Illustrated. "I was disappointed to hear him make those remarks. We're there to help the players and enhance the experience of the fans. He was saying what was good for him. It lacked character."

Tiger is not the most liked guy on tour. He just isn't very friendly or likable. Sergio just isn't afraid to talk about it.

I don't think Sergio wins any popularity contests either. Tiger has his little group of friends & that's all you really need.

It's just Sergio being a whiny baby. Nothing new. His jealousy of tiger isn't new either. If the crowd had roared 2 holes over it would've been somebody's fault, probably tiger's still.

I'm not dismissing Sergio as a whiner, but the fact that the marshalls are calling Tiger a liar means nothing?

I don't thinks its a big deal regardless. Sergio hit a bad shot & wanted to blame somebody or something........as usual. Every golfer that's paired with tiger understands the distractions & everything else that comes with playing with #1 player in the world. I don't think Tiger would knowingly try to distract Sergio but I do t think he would care if he did.

What about the who cares about Tiger, who cares about Sergio crowd? Seems laughable and heavily biased that no one cares Tiger made something up.

I don't care. Tiger isn't a role model to me or my children. I enjoy watching him play golf. That's it. His personal life doesn't concern me.

The reason I don't care is because it's completely immaterial. If he, in fact, asked whether Sergio had hit, it was because he wanted to know whether it was ok to start his own preshot routine. It wasn't so he'd know whether it was OK to pull a club or not . . . which is what inadvertantly elicited the crowd noise.

The whole "controversy" is based on the preposterous notion that Tiger had any idea that he could get a crowd of people to make noise at the precise second that Sergio was swinging by simply reaching for a club . . . even though Tiger was completely out of site and couldn't tell what Sergio was doing in the first place.

come on. Don't tell me you all are naive enough to not realize Tiger draws a reaction when he pulls a pack of crackers out of his bag, and an even bigger one when he pulls out a club.

This. When NBC show both of them in real time Tiger was paying no attention to what Sergio was doing.

Btw... I played a place called Deer Creek outside Crossville. I can't express what an awful course goat track that place is.

Plus the fact Sergio wasn't even in his backswing when Tiger pulled his club.
