On livestream from here on out we get to see just the 18th. Don't think I can stick it out. I'm still glad I have the option of watching at all, though.

Corey Pavin was Jewish but converted to Christianity. Of course he did, being surrounded by the largest touring revival in the world.

Third round went just about as good as I could have hoped for. Would be nice if McDowell pips Furyk at the end.

Same. Although I'm tired of ugly 17 year old kid. And I'd like Westwood to win and stop chokes.

I am soooooo tired of Beau. All teeangers are supposed to be sexy.
I can get behind Lee. Actually that whole top six would work. Furyk is a nice guy, I was too hard on him yesterday.

Furyk looks exactly like my snobby golf-loving jerk cousin before he got fat, thus I've never liked him. Otherwise, he's ok I guess, if a little boring. At least he stays in shape.

Oh he's way boring. I don't think he's a crazy Christian though, so that counts for something. Although he's probably a hidden Christian or Mormon or Scientologist.

I think Furyk is Catholic. If they don't constantly blab about it, I don't care what religion they are.

Woohoo! Fun leaderboard! Furyk's a good guy, then lots of furriners. And Tigre fell back! Perfect US Open Saturday.

Except I'm annoyed at Pavin for caving in to the majority PGA view and converting from Judaism to Christianity. And let's face it, a lot of them do constantly blab about it.

old quote: Tom Lehman admits that it sometimes is perceived as arrogance or pride on the part of born-again golfers, but that is not the intent.
"I don't know of any of the golfers who are Christians who want to make that impression," he said. "If anything, they are more humble than the non-religious golfers. It simply means that while playing a tournament, they want to spend Sunday mornings with the Bible as they would at home at church services."I'm more humble than you are, nyah nyah!

A lot of the golfers do thank God and Jesus every time they speak, which I do dislike. And Pavin played in the Maccabiah games, thus his turn is pretty weak.
Catholicism teaches that followers are so humble for some reason. They're just following the brainwashing.
It makes sense that golfers would be religious, though. It's a sport based on a ton of luck, along with the climate advantages of the Southern US.
And shouldn't all these religious folks hate Tigre? Oh, but he's made them filthy rich.

That's a good point. If they ever forget the riches Tigre has brought them, all they have to do is look at the poor star-starved LPGA and see what's happened to it in the last few years.
I suppose that's why the golf media was all over Rory last year, claiming he will be the Next Tigre. They really have to try to keep such myths alive so that people don't tune out altogether.

Long before he converted, but still.
As much as we hate it, Tigre brings ratings and money far than anyone else. And the common sports fan only cares when he's around. Which I find kinda silly now since he hasn't been this superhuman power + short game master for many years.

True, but even we haters, and even you, Leena, who even as a hater is (are?) still the most objective, can still get caught up in thinking the Old Tigre might come roaring back at any moment. Despite all the evidence that he can only very rarely put together 4 great days in a row any more. His 4th-round start today, +2 after 2 holes , should, but does not, allow me to relax. I have too many of those old "Tiger charges from behind!!!!!1" nightmares in my head.
