Texan_Til_I_Die Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 I watched the final 3 holes of the 18 hole playoff and the first sudden death hole. Good stuff. I wonder how they chose #7 as the first sudden death hole? It can't be the number 1 handicap hole on the course. However they came up with it, it was a killer for Rocco. Dogleg right and he doesn't have a fade shot anywhere in his bag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OJR Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 Great watching this whole thing unfold! Both of them played and hung in there! Both of them made mistakes, but recovered! What a tourney! I'm glad to see Tiger win it and get closer to beating Nicklaus's record! Bad knee and all, he did it! He sure has a cute little daughter! Surely takes after his wife! LOL!!!

Not sure on the criteria. But that hole sure did hurt Rocco. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJL Posted June 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 V O M I T...................... I've NEVER seen a tournament go to the 7th hole for sudden death. I guess the USGA needed it over with another Tiger win. FIX FIX FIX FIX FIX FIX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michiganbowhunter_SQ2 Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 yeah thats it, it's fixed 18 hole playoff, then sudden death,scripted perfectly pretty sure it's because of the way the course is layed out. They want it so they can make a swing back toward to club house, 7th tee box is right by 18th green, and the 8th green leads right to the 18th tee box. Which is why they chose 7, 8, 18 as the playoff holes. (they were chosen a head of time, not right when the 18 holes were done ) Was a great tourney and a great playoff, Rocco deserved that win, but like the always say, you can't give Tiger that one extra chance cause he'll make you pay. As much as I am glad Tiger won, I still feel bad for Rocco, played to good not to win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowtechTurkeyHunter Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 wouldn't even have been close if he had both good knees ... cant tell me that didnt cost him a few strokes .... period. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCH Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 I'd be very surprised if the 7th being the "sudden death" hole wasn't disclosed to the players prior to the Open starting. To be honest, I don't think they could have chosen a hole that would have favored Rocco over Tiger. Maybe one of the par 3's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, I don't think they could have chosen a hole that would have favored Rocco over Tiger. Maybe one of the par 3's? Exactly. They don't just pick what hole to play right there before Sudden Death. Each course has its own preselected holes to play in case something like yesterday happens. These are determined way before the tournament even starts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowtechTurkeyHunter Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 Why is it when things dont go the way ppl want its always fixed lol ... Nascar fixed, NBA fixed, Hockey fixed, Baseball fixed, All these just in the last month here on the forums ... Why can't it be that the players/teams are just good lol ... guess that would be the glass is half full theory and we wouldn't want to have that mentality.

Tominator Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 I was thinking more along the lines of that clean, crisp $1.00 bill I have of yours in my glove box, you know the one that I won from you when I displayed my superior Cleveland Browns football knowledge in play calling tactics last fall? But I'll take the golf bet......you're on. I don't know what you're talking about. I do recall saving you $20 in Illinois though (MARKY POST, MARKY POST, I'LL BET YOU $20 BUCKS.....) Well, I won the bet (was there ever a doubt), but got to hand it to Rocco, he did not fold like an envelope. I'll let you off the hook Tom, you buy the beer at the end of the round and we'll call it even. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
