"I think the situation is more of a marketing ploy than anything else," Norman said. "If the girls come out and think they can play against the guys and fail every time, that can't be very positive."
Norman's comments came three weeks after 14-year-old Michelle Wie missed the cut by a stroke in the Sony Open, a stunning effort that prompted seven other PGA Tour events to offer her exemptions." (ESPN.com)
Yo, Greg, she's 14. Where are all the 14-year old boys missing the cut by one stroke?

When male players hear LPGA players ask for more equitable prize money:
"When you girls generate the kind of ad and TV revenue we do, you can ask for equal pay."
But when the guys see sponsors who pay the bills grant an entry exemption to a woman who will bring in many many viewers and fans:
"WAAAAAAAAAAHHH"!

I watched Norman self-destruct during the final round of the 96 Masters and it's still the benchmark of world class sporting bottlement for me. I'm feeling reasonably warm to the dude this year but he's a cock and he'll blow it today, don't you worry.
― Noodle Vague, Saturday, 19 July 2008 23:10 (sixteen years ago) link
I don't think so. He looked REALLY good on the back nine, especially considering the way others played it before him.
But, he does seem to have a problem with Majort Tournament Sundays.
Chrissy will help him out with that.

Wuz gonna say last night that any of the top 20 had a shout. 's interesting now whether Norman can tough this out. lol

If Poulter wins this I'm gonna have to slap someone.

Will Norman or Harrington actually make a birdie, is the main question.
― Just got offed, Sunday, 20 July 2008 15:49 (sixteen years ago) link
Harrington 2/1 Poulter 4/1 Norman 4/1 Wakefield 9/1 Kim 12/1 Stenson 25/1 Furyk 33/1

Yeah you've got to like Harrington from here.
― Noodle Vague, Sunday, 20 July 2008 15:55 (sixteen years ago) link
Wonder what the highest odds Harrington went at when he was "50/50" for the tournament were? Someone somewhere must be on him at at _least_ 50/1, right?
― The stickman from the hilarious "xkcd" comics, Sunday, 20 July 2008 15:57 (sixteen years ago) link
I think Norman just fucked up massively there.
― Just got offed, Sunday, 20 July 2008 16:01 (sixteen years ago) link
oh my god, that putt from Poulter

Poulter permanently looks like he's on the pull in Time/Envy.
Hahaha I'm just following the leaderboard online cos I'm half cut listening to tunes and I can't be arsed to go and watch it on TV.

This is pretty hollow cos predicting Norman chokage isn't exactly Nostradamus-level shit.

OK, he's totally lost it now. Only some Crank-esque public sex from Evert can save him now.
― Just got offed, Sunday, 20 July 2008 16:16 (sixteen years ago) link
Having said that, he has his own yacht and Michelle Wie hasn't placed in the top 50 of a LPGA major for nearly two and a half years, so I know who's gonna be sleeping easier tonight

I checked on Betfair. Someone, somewhere, has £94 on Harrington to win at 140/1. Another has over £300 on him at 100/1.
― The stickman from the hilarious "xkcd" comics, Sunday, 20 July 2008 16:27 (sixteen years ago) link
Okay that's a decent target from Poulter.
― Noodle Vague, Sunday, 20 July 2008 16:38 (sixteen years ago) link
If Harrington don't birdie from here he don't deserve the tournament.
― Noodle Vague, Sunday, 20 July 2008 16:42 (sixteen years ago) link
He's not out of it yet.

Shark Boy, that is.
No but Harrington isn't letting go.

we need a harrington double-bogey at 16, and a greg birdie, for the brilliant prospect of harrington-greg-poulter playoff to loom
― Just got offed, Sunday, 20 July 2008 16:52 (sixteen years ago) link
lol no double-bogey then. GAME OVER

And now Norman gives up altogether and hoofs another one into the rough.
