Who had the worst day?

haha good addition

BigPPup, Tiger Woods is apparently supposed to win every tournament for the rest of his life? Didn't you hear?

I'm pretty sure missing 5 gimme puts is a pretty bad day, especially when you're playing in the masters. Imagine a kicker missing 5 FGs in one game from within 30 yards.

id completely agree with you if the man didnt get on sportscenter and say he was gonna take the grand slam

or a baseball player missing 5 easy pop flies, or a basketball player missing 5 lay ups without being contested on any of them, or a hockey player missing multiple open net shots

Tiger lost the Masters on day 1 and 2 not on Sunday. He missed some close puts, but there is no giveme putt on one o the tighest greens on earth. Give some credit to Trever or winning the thing. Tiger is still Tiger adn will win 2 Majors this year.

There's no excuse for missing those puts BigPPup. they were all within 4-5 feet. And there's also no excuse for three-putting. Tiger had a bad day. And yes, those puts are pretty much gimmies. Especially the one where he was 2-3 feet away

Clearly you dont spend hours on the course

clearly you don't understand that if you are a golfer that can compete for a major tournament, those are gimmie putts. You win masters because you know you can make those putts. It's not acceptable to bank 5 shots that would have put pressure on Immelman. And I don't care who you are, you don't three-putt. That's basic golf knowledge.

Rip the man to shreds because he did what everyone has done 1 mil times. I am not excusing him or the missed putts, but I hate that term gimme putt. Its like saying its an easy catch, or a gimme dunk, when its some idiot sitting on a couch who has never touched the rim or picked up a putter outside o putt putt

I heard once that the break point (I think it was called)--the distance that a golfer makes half of their putts--for amateurs was about three feet. For PGA pros, its nine feet. Even at Augusta, Tiger should have made three or four of those that he missed. He's got his game dialled in, but his putting has been the weakest part of his game for a while now, relatively speaking of course. If he makes those putts and really puts pressure on Immelman, he could have been one down, three to go this year.

that's not fair. I've got a fairly good short game, especially from my caddying experience which has helped me learn to read the greens. If I wanted to, I could probably become a decent golfer in less than a week

Decent as in country club hack or decent as in can make the tour?

ok the putts weren't gimmes b/c its augusta and there fast as hell (probably running like a 13), but when ur Tiger Woods and your cocky as hell and you tell me your gonna win in your press conference make your freaking 5 footers big boy... and no one expects him to go wire to wire, we always expect him to come back on sunday and he choked

yeah, others do the same thing, and it's why they don't win. If you expect to compete, you make those putts. Just like in basketball, if you expect to compete for a title, you make your free throws and lay ups. Just like in football you convert on third and short if you expect to win.

If you want to compete, there are certain things that should be gimmies in sports.

And within 3 feet, it doesn't take a whole lot to make the put. If you can read greens and can control a putter, you should be able to make it.

country club hack. But it doesn't mean that I can't criticize him. I understand putting fairly well, and it's not acceptable if you're a top tour player to miss those putts. Just like we expect kickers in the NFL to make 40+ yard FGs. It doesn't make it easy, but that's why they're pro. Because they should be able to do it. Pas, no. As Taytay pointed out, pros should make a plurality of their putts from 9 feet or closer. Amateurs should be able to make a plurality of their putts from 3 feet or closer. A pro should at least be able to make 3 or 4 out of 5 3 foot putts, augusta or not.

Three foot putts can be tricky as hell if you're not careful. Tiger can miss those putts sometimes and so can you, FP. It's not the end of the world if you miss them.

If he missed 1 or 2, it wouldn't be an issue. He's human, I get it. But you don't miss 5, including 4 on the back 9 when you're in the hunt.

tigers got a dirty mouth when he's botching those short ones

"Tiger.....ohhh...BUTT!!!"

</offtopic>

A Canadiens fan is visibly upset and decided to minus me...

i mean, when you lose your first game to the bruins all season, i guess you should be...

what are they, 9-1 this season?

Holy cow....San Jose gets 3 goals in the opening 4 minutes at Calgary.

so Miika Kiprusoff going late addition to the list?

They are still in the league?

theres a league?

When will the devils and Rangers combine to be one under achieving team?

underachieving? the devils have 2 cups this decade

How did you know if you just found out there was a league?

Right on. Tiger had a better round on Sunday than Immelman, even with the missed putts, but had too much ground to make up. BigP is right: Tiger lost the Masters on Thursday and Friday. But he still had a bad day on Sunday because that's when they handed out the green jacket. You could read it on his face when he made the long putt on 17: Now it goes in?!? He knows that a few of those missed putts made the difference.
