Well, I'm sure they're happy they called it.

Now they can go chill by the beach.

What did Johnny say?

If he said Poulter was a whiny wuss then Johnny was spot on.

Most likely something about him taking that last shot into the wind. Hit well short of the green, Miller must have made some kind of chippy remark about him taking so long.

Miller can be a dick, IMO.

Being PC is not in Johnny's vocabulary. I agree with him 95% of the time.

I get that, he kind of likes sticking it to the Brits though.

Jack gave him that chip on his shoulder.

Poulter kept backing away from a putt. Every time he almost hit it he'd back off. It took him about 5 minutes to putt with wind. Miller said he needs to just hit it and stop being so dramatic.

I'm the same age as Johnny so I saw his Tour career. From the bell bottom pants and flowing blonde hair to the end where he would 3 putt from 3 feet. If he hadn't played the Tour the same time as Jack I'm sure he would have won more majors. But Johnny's not alone in that regard.

It was for bird. I know the putt now.

The other fella said it was the longest putt in tour history, time wise.

That wasn't that big of a deal. Poulter was probably just pissed he had to hit in that wind.

CO, you're right about him winning more had he been a bit younger, or older for that matter. I'm 34. I'm sure I'll be saying the same about guys my age in 25 years with regards to Tiger.

Didn't he take forever and a day to hit an iron shot from the fairway? I think it's the shot where his cap blew to the clubhouse.

Yeah, I think at the beginning, he was being honestly candid, which was refreshing from just being a company man. But now, I think he's become what Madden became towards the end. By that i mean, sort of goes out of his way to make strong comments, like Madden began to overdo the boom, bam, etc. I think he's read his own press clippings and is trying too hard to maintain the rep.

Saw the ball move about 10' on the green after it was at rest. Hard to believe that's the least bit enjoyable with that level of wind.

Why if they are willing to play 36 holes today would they not play 36 tomorrow and get all 72 holes in? If they are not already in the Sony open they would have had to push back or change a flight already? Just wondering

Their only concern is making sure it's an official event, which is 54 holes.

grate job by DJ overcoming a couple of mistakes. When the dude is on he's tough to contend with. I hope he stays healthy. One of the more fun guys to watch play

Paulina Gretzky? Cougar!

She's gotta be 10-15 years older than him.
