Well, some more stellar golf by these guys who are so good.
Calchavecchia gets a tournament handed to him when Slocum misses a
3-footer to get in to a playoff, after Calch completely dogs it from
the center of the fairway.
A bright note was CHIII, who got off to a terrible start but fired a
65 on Sunday, once again, to get in to the top ten. CHIII may be very
close to realizing his potential and becoming the golfer most likely
to challenge Woods over the next ten years.

Did anyone else catch Ian Steel dumping his tee shot into a water
hazard in the first round of the playoff of the singapore masters?
That close to sea level breathing can get difficult on a warm summer

Dude, Calc pasted a great drive on 18 under a lot of pressure. His
approach was 3 feet short of great. It's not like he put it in the
trap........it was dead on line. His chip shot was very good
considering the lie. It was buried. He missed the putt. Even #1 in the
world misses putts. He shoots -1 for the day and you make him sound
like a hacking dog.

Why? 'cause he doesn't know what PODS is? If I hadn't caught around 10
minutes of the American broadcast instead of the TSN (Canadian
rebroadcaster) I'd have no idea what PODS was. Hell their site has a
Canadian component to it and yet I've never seen one of their
containers. The name sounds like a bad sci-fi movie.
CHIII or Chuckie the 3rd or whatever other silly number name you want
to give him is just one of the many faceless tour players out there.
If it wasn't for his ewwwww beer stunt after winning a tournament
sponsored by a brewery and his pretentious sounding name I doubt I'd
remember him. Then again I don't follow pro golf all that closely.
Like many I'd rather be playin' than watchin'.

Well, CHIII is more than just one of the many faces and as he enters
his prime years, you will see why. CHIII has a lot of game in his bag
and the only thing that has been really holding him back was his
putting. So far, he seems to have found a putting game after putting
immense amounts of time and energy in to improving it during the
off-season.

Seems to me that all that separates all the nameless, faceless hoards
that make up the majority of pro golf tourneys is well the putting. So
I would imagine that he isn't the only one of the bunch who worked on
his putting and short game. Actually I'd venture to guess it would be
close to 100% of them.
Hell go to any course out there and you'll find tons (ok maybe not
tons but quite a few) guys who have game but just lack the ability to
putt.
I remember my first match play tourney I took part of when I was
working at one of the local courses. The guy had game. Bombing it 40,
50 yards past me. Nice deft lobshots. Thought I'd get slaughtered.
Turned out the guy had a weakness and it was putting. He was one of
the worst putters I've seen and he worked diligently at improving that
part of his game. Last time I saw him play he was as bad as ever.

If half their strokes are putts, and they don't have that game, then
they have half game.

"That would have never happened in my day, I guarantee you that!" -
Lanny Wadkins
Folks just didn't miss putts prior to about 1997.
Well, except for guys like Wadkins or Irwin who both missed 1-inchers
by whiffing on them. And of course, Doug Sanders, whose twitch at St.
Andrews allowed Nicklaus to win the Open Championship.
And of course, Scott Hoch (rhymes with Choke) who "gave" Faldo his
first green jacket. But other than that, those old guys just didn't
choke.
They ALWAYS shot 65 on the last day and they were never satisfied with
2nd place, especially in Majors. I mean, you just didn't see guys
finish second a lot back then. They had the will to win in those
days. If someone finished 2nd 18 times in Majors, for example, that
guy must've been a real spineless jellyfish .... a real choker even
worse than Greg Norman. Ya feel me?
No sir, those boys had game back then. And big brass balls in their
huge ballsacks. Not like these paintywaists today with their own
little personal trainers, their agents, and their fuckin
Blackberries. You haven't tasted fear until you've come down the 72nd
hole battling it out with Gibby Gilbert and Dick fuckin Mayer.
[Ed Note: That last line is courtesy of Bruce Devlin, who once told
me about a tournament he had in the bag until "Dick Fuckin Mayer"
holed a 7-iron on the 72nd hole to beat him.]

Calc shot a career round to get him in to the lead. He missed a
three-footer for birdie on the 16th hole which wold have assured him
of a victory. Instead, he dogged it from the middle of the fairway,
made a reasonable chip shot and missed a four-footer to assure him of
victory. Slocum decided that he did not want to watch Calc cry after
faltering so badly over the last three holes, so he three-putted from
18 feet.

Reality is approximately 70 to130 golfers challenge Woods every time he tees
it up.
