in the PGA Championship.

I think Johnson will take it.

1. after what happened at the US Open, it would be kind of nice to see Johnson have a good round

but Watney is playing really well. I think it will be fun tomorrow. On Sundays in majors, I usually cheer for a first-time major winner to pull through--since there are only two previous winners within 8 strokes of the lead, I think tomorrow is shaping up pretty nicely :)

2. Right

It has been interesting to watch and I like the way they've been playing. I recently started playing fantasy golf and you only get one group of players for dozens--I don't know how many--weeks. 4 out of 8 golfers on my team missed the cut including one star. The other three where on my bench to begin with so my options are limited going into today. I do got Dustin Johnson and he has been my best golfer the past few weeks out of the ones I've chosen. I'd like to see him pull it out. :)

3. I think McIlroy finally breaks through with a major

Finally...hes like ten years old.

4. Watney's three-stroke lead is gone after the first hole

Double bogey for Watney and birdie for D. Johnson.

5. Still anybody's tournament

Get em Rory!

[fishwax]

6. Wow, D. Johnson just hit a crazy good shot on 16

He was down below the railroad tie cliff with his second shot, but somehow pitched it up to leave himself about a two-footer for birdie. Now he's tied for the lead again ...

[fishwax]

7. and follows it up with a great drive and birdie putt on 17

Dustin Johnson just needs a par on 18 to get the win ...

8. That was sweet putt on 17.

Looks so easy on tv. I'd have putted the ball into the ocean. :)

[fishwax]

9. D'oh! Then sends his tee shot on 18 into the gallery

"Looks so easy on tv. I'd have putted the ball into the ocean."

So true -- I'd've sent it sailing too :)

[Forkboy]

10. And saves his ass with a tremendous third shot.

Wow.

[fishwax]

11. Indeed! I hope he makes this putt now ...

[Forkboy]

12. Then blows the putt!

Playoff here we come!

[fishwax]

13. What? I turned away for a minute -- what are they talking about with a penalty?

:wtf:

[Forkboy]

14. On his 2nd shot on 18 from the bunker he grounded his club before the shot.

A 2 stroke penalty.

[fishwax]

15. oh that sucks. I had no idea that was a bunker either

x(

It just looked like sand that had blown off the Lake Michigan shore ...

[Forkboy]

16. Tough way to die, for sure.

[fishwax]

17. Guess it would have been even tougher if he'd made that par putt to win

When the people were cleared out it was much clearer that it was a bunker, so I suppose they made the right call.

Tough break.

[JonLP24]

18. That was got to be one of the saddest things I ever saw

Dustin Johnson has the lead going into the final hole, has a bad shot which would come back to haunt him later. Ends up tying but is eliminated because of "grounding the club" in a bunker. I'm not sure what the rule is but it eliminated him from the playoff.

[fishwax]

19. yeah -- what a horrible break

Yeesh.

[era veteran]

20. That sucked, sorry dude

Back to Basketball

21. Martin Kaymer

won it if anyone is wondering. That was a wild 3rd hole and overall a wild round today.
