2012 U.S. Open

nicstockman · 06-14-2012, 09:55 AM

Tiger's on my short list as I think he will be in contention come Sunday. But damn it i'd like to see Dustin Johnson win.

Who you pulling for?

I Bleed Garnet · 06-14-2012, 10:15 AM

DJ, Kuchar, Bradley

And anyone but Fowler

hellraiser24 · 06-14-2012, 10:16 AM

Pulling for Tiger and DJ just like you. Tiger because a win for him will be great for the game of golf. Would love to see DJ win because he is from South Carolina.

Also, I like Jason Duffner so pulling for the Duff Man. Another guy I like is Matt Kuchar. I have been a fan of him since he was an amateur. Just love his swing, and he is playing the best golf out of anyone this year.

The game of golf is just fine without that guy.

So that means it's "great for the game" if the ratings are high?

I'm missing something

More people watch more money made.
When more money is made its better for the game (IMO)

Yes it is great. More money is always great for any sport. I don't see how you can disagree with that.

The tv ratings will disagree with you

womfalcs3 · 06-14-2012, 10:48 AM

They just started restricting the official streams to the United States only. It used to work internationally!!!!!

I wanted to watch the marquee group.

Coulwoodwarlord · 06-14-2012, 11:10 AM

I just want some drama ! Couple, three guys fighting it out ! Fowler, Bubba, Rory (?), even Tiger.

I Bleed Garnet · 06-14-2012, 11:15 AM

Agreed I wanna see something like Augusta.
Although I did enjoy Rory's domination last year

eaglegolf018 · 06-14-2012, 11:56 AM

Tiger and Bubba in the final pairing on Sunday. One can only dream, right?

USCBatgirl21 · 06-14-2012, 11:56 AM

DL3 and Dustin.

Dustin's dad was my parents' neighbor when Dustin was at CCU.

Coulwoodwarlord · 06-14-2012, 12:41 PM

I can appreciate Bubba takin time off for special times for his family, but he's gonna find it tough to keep up with the big boys takin a month off here and there.

womfalcs3 · 06-15-2012, 03:47 AM

Tiger was responsible for bringing golf to the mainstream and attracting so many people to playing the sport. You can see many of the young professionals attributing their play to Tiger.

Aside from bringing in the money, which is important, there are other ways that Tiger's performance is good for the sport.

With all due respect, one could argue that golf was a bubble sport and due to the economy, tiger or no tiger, it will struggle. The money that he brings now is mainly felt by tour players and sponsors through an increased viewership. Golf courses are going bankrupt by the hundreds. Tiger has no control over that...sure he brought thousands and millions of people to golf...as soon as the economy tanked they left the game other than watching it on tv.

One thing that can not be argued is that he raised the bar and level of play on the various tours....the quality of golfers is better than it ever has been

smoovecock · 06-15-2012, 09:01 AM

I got a feeling about Dufner....

carolinafan111 · 06-15-2012, 09:29 AM

I hope Tiger can compete because golf is more interesting when tiger is playing well.

also, only two holes are playing under par so far:
