***The Official 2010 Golf Thread***

[Stu1993 101]

The spectators love Phil Mickelson, he's one of the most popular golfers, and has a lot of time for everyone - but supposidly he's not liked by his peers, mainly because he thinks he's great, and is so big headed. Get's called FIGJAM, which stands for fcuk I’m great, just ask me.

Didnt win to many over when all that stuff about him having an illegal/legal club in his bag was going around.

Some cracking pairings! Would love to see Duval do well. He started the season off pretty well, 2nd, and a top 10 followed by top 20, then fell away. I think he missed the cut at the Bay Hill Invitational the other week and never played at the Houston Open.

[TexasGers 96]

I heard some interviews with Kuchar and Choi on the radio earlier, they both seem like real easy going guys who won't get phased by playing in the Tiger circus.

[Muff 245]

KJ Choi wasn't impressed the last time he played with Tiger at the Masters. Said he never stopped spitting, swearing, and throwing his club... I don't think we'll see much of that!

[Stu1993 101]

i thought Mahan had a good end to last year. Not seen much of him this year but.

[chris_glasgow 2]

250/1

Duval

[Muff 245]

Glad to see they have paired the 3 longest players in golf together for Thursday! Seriously... Are they taking the piss!
