McIlroy’s lead now four strokes

KIAWAH ISLAND, S.C. – Ian Poulter continues to head in the wrong direction after making a second straight bogey, this one at the par-3 14th hole.

That means he’s fallen to 6 under and trails Rory McIlroy by four strokes. The Northern Irishman has eight to finish while Poulter just has five.

    HAHAHAHA…this will be the VERY FIRST TIME SINCE THE 2011 PGA that McIlroy has beaten Keegan Bradley in a major!!! That’s right…Keegs has beaten Rory in the LAST FOUR MAJORS!!!

    KEE…GAN! KEE…GAN! KEE…GAN! KEE…GAN!
    KEE…GAN! KEE…GAN! KEE…GAN! KEE…GAN!

    @3jack

    If you count the Players Championship, Bridgestone Invitational, and Northern Trust Open as majors — which I’m sure we all do — then that number increases to 7 majors!!!!!!!!

    Keegan has beat Rory in the last 7 majors! That is unbelievable!

  • 3jack

    Carlo…I like your train of thought!!! I actually consider the Players as a major so that’s 5 majors in a row!!! The other two are not majors but are BIG events nonetheless…so it’s true that Keegan plays better than “RORS” in the big events in general…enough said!!!

  • phil

    RORY 2 Majors
    KEEGAN 1 Major

    Rory second youngest person ever to win a major behind Jack

    Rory new world number 1

    Enough said

  • Dave

    you really do pick the worst times imaginable to gloat.

  • A wee dram of the Jameson

    Lead now 6. Time for a wee dram. Cheers!

  • The return of the King

    like i said yesterday Rory will win with at least 5 stokes i said 5-8. The fact when he is on he is the best player in the world and by a mile. That is today though and we have no idea how Tiger will dial in when he is totally confi with his new swing. Tiger is getting more and more rep and by this time after 1 year it will be fair to judge him. 2things i see can happen Tiger will have fine year 2013 with like 3-5 Wins or i can see him dominate again with 7-9 wins time will time.

  • fanny fanapple

    You guys do realize that “carlo” is having a chat with HIMSELF, right?

  • 3jack

    ROK…for the second week in a row Keegan Bradley is beating Tiger and also a whole field of other very good players!!! Keegs is the real deal!!!

    B-R-A-D-L-E-Y! B-R-A-D-L-E-Y! B-R-A-D-L-E-Y!
    B-R-A-D-L-E-Y! B-R-A-D-L-E-Y! B-R-A-D-L-E-Y!

  • A wee dram of the Jameson

    Who then is TROTK talking to? Truly pathetic when you have no friends. Would you like a drink? Cheers to the new king!

  • fanny fanapple

    ROTK is an honest Golf Fan, wee dram, 3jack is a lunatic with too much spare time.

  • hank

    @ROTK, 7-9 wins for Tiger next year seems a bit much.

  • A wee dram of the Jameson

    OK, I’ll accept that. Cheers!

  • A wee dram of the Jameson

    The cheers was for you fanny.

  • A wee dram of the Jameson

    Cheers for an honest golf fan, not for a delusional 7 – 9 wins. But I guess hope is what makes an honest fan, isn’t it?

  • A wee dram of the Jameson

    I have no friends

  • portentous gail

    Rain and no wind…God’s gift to Gags…

  • A wee dram of the Jameson

    Looks like McIlroy is the new best golfer of all time

  • portentious gail

    If only I didn’t smell like tuna, then I would find love

  • hank

    Somebody said earlier that Tiger cannot hit his Driver. He sure was right. He looks so narrow in his stance.

  • Greg

    Adam Scott, are you watching. This is how you close out a major.

  • A wee dram of the Jameson

    And it looks like impostors are still rampant. Still cheers to all. Jack is still the best golfer of all time. Cheers to the still that makes my whiskey!

  • DT

    Here comes the comedy stylings of Gail again.

    The top 4 players are all Europeans now with David Lynn making the birdie on 17. I know this makes you very happy Gail. (;

  • Gator Food

    Looks to be Rory’s day. A very impressive performance to back up the U.S. Open. Another weekend where Tiger was in position but could not find his game when he needed it most

  • fanny fanapple

    I want to see 1 or 2 birdies from Rory coming home, he needs to drive the image of WINNING a Major into his own head, we don’t matter.

  • DT

    More specifically, 6 of the top 7 players are Europeans. Gail must be jumping for joy!

  • A wee dram of the Jameson

    I wish I could hold and caress mcilroys bag teehee

  • A wee dram of the Jameson

    Did I mention I’m a rampant drunk

  • fanny fanapple

    “jumping” probably, can’t be too sure about the “joy” unfortunately.

  • portentous gail

    Finally! It was about time that a few Euros made an appearance at a tour event! Considering how many tournaments the Americans have won this year, all I can say is “ABOUT TIME!. Gags sure got the biggest break when the wind died down and he was able to play 27 holes in 5 mph wind. Unfortunately, it’s not how the course should be played, but Gags got the same break at Congressional with the rains there as well. Hey, better to be lucky than good, right?

  • portentous gail

    BTW…this should be good for some nozzle tonight from the Woz, right?

  • Porky Gail

    I was right. Rory won going away. Tiger doesn’t stand a chance anymore. He doesn’t have the mental toughness to hold it together in a major anymore. He is a mental midget and it shows. Tiger has no explosive ability. If he shoots better than 69 it is a miracle. His only hope is that a course plays very tough and he can get the lucky draw on the weather.

    Either way, well done Rory. You are now ahead of Tiger’s pace. Tiger lovers love to talk about pace when talking about him chasing down Jack. They should have no problem with Rory taking care of Tiger.

    Tiger, it is time for you to retire so you quit humiliating yourself on major weekends.

  • The return of the King

    ofcourse i have no idea Tiger will win 7-9 times next year. But if you look back at his swing changes it has always take him some time get it going. This year he has had 1-1-1-2-3 finish so far and still fedex cup left. Its not a real Tiger powerful year but its a fine year. So if history continues next year he will be ready so 2013-2014-2015 i would not bet against him win 1-2 major each year and 7-9 total wins. But as i said iam just predicting here we cant know ofcourse what will happen. What i really hope is rory will continue get even better and push Tiger more i would love a real insne battle next few years from those 2.

  • Dave

    how are those sour grapes gail?

  • Dave

    I am a gloating douche with a really small dinky

  • Seff

    No Gail, today Rory is simply very very good. If it were just the conditions, then explain why Woods, Singh, Mickelson, Furyk, Henry etc etc are over par today.
    But what about John Daly -3 today. Love that.

  • Gator Food

    Well said King. Tiger has the game to win majors again but I believe as long as he plays against Jack the pressure to close will just increase as he ages. He needs to focus on the field in front of him instead of trying to win 5 more every time he tees it up in a major. Again, all credit to Rory for a stunning weekend of golf.

  • Dave

    nice one gail. I’m not usually a gloating type but you cannot talk that much consistent utter ____ about someone and not gloat when your bigoted self is proved wrong.

  • The return of the King

    Fact is Rory is the only player since Tiger came who wins Majors like Tiger does. Its early to say this but imo it is a chance that Tiger and Jack have something to think about!!. His Usa open win and now Pga championship is just incredible domination. But ofcourse just a month ago everyone was counting him out, like Gail here with here disgusting Gagilry this and that, pathetic Gail and you should be ashame of yourself. Same with that aussie Sean Smith who hates Tiger even more then his country man Greg Norman, Sean was here early this year saying Tiger would never win again LOL. People Tiger is 36 he is just 36 who on earth knows he might even have his best year ever yett to come who knows? Look at STricker and Vijay exs so much can happen next years going to be very interesting.

  • The return of the King

    i mean what can you say what a finish iam in shock wowwwwwwwwwwwwww

  • Dave

    Tiger is not finished because special sportsmen are never finished, even when people write them of. See Federer, Phelps, Bolt etc.

    But he needs more practice with the swing change and maybe a psychologist. But he’ll win another major.

  • Davey

    He needs more practice when he chokes. He doesn’t say a word about his swing or it being a process when hes playing well. He has more excuses than Obama. Tiger is done. Finished. He had 1 top 10 in a major this year. He is nowhere close to competing for a Major title.

    If he wants to win a major soon he needs to go in for a sex change and join the LPGA tour.
