2006 Pga

[Courty]

The pairings for the 88th PGA Championship have been released. Traditionally, the winners of the first three majors are paired together, and that's the case this year as well. Fortunately for golf fans, that means Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, and Geoff Ogilvy will be playing together for at least two days of the 2006 PGA at Medinah Country Club.

10 8:30am / 1 1:35pm - Phil MICKELSON, Geoff OGILVY, Tiger WOODS

How awesome would it be to follow this group around, the Master, Geoff and 'I'm such an idiot' trading blows.

Gallery could be 10 deep
Chappy

[Courty]

I've no doubt that the TV coverage will show nothing other than the progress of this group. :roll:

[brad]

Oh for a Foxtel connection - or is this being telecast free-to-air?

[McMw]

1 12:45pm / 10 7:40am - Shaun MICHEEL, Bob TWAY, Davis LOVE III
10 7:30am / 1 12:35pm - Rich BEEM, Steve ELKINGTON, David TOMS

nice of them to put the one-time major (PGA) winners together too... :lol:

[oz]

Oh for a Foxtel connection - or is this being telecast free-to-air?

Anyone know about Free-to-air coverage? I haven't found anything yet......

[goughy]

Just looked up ebroadcast and it didn't show any coverage at all. Sux.

[Ducky]

I might have to get Foxtel on before it starts.

[raidrboy]

It is only on Foxtel to the best of my knowledge.

[oz]

That blows. FTA golf coverage (or lack of) sux. :(

[Trung]

Hey Courty,

Nathan Green at 12.05pm is also an Aussie

;)

[Courty]

Elkington, Grady & Hensby have all withdrawn...

[Jarro]

i LOVE my Foxtel 8)

[jaster]

Ummm Steve Elkington is an Aussie last time I looked :p

[jaster]

I love my foxtel also Jarropingboy :)

[3oneday]

Jarropingboy:lol:

[Ducky]

If I ring them tomorrow do you think they could install it for me before Saturday?

[jaster]

no....usually a 1 week wait :)

[shavey]

I'm on Bucks at $5 each way... $501 and $126 ;)

[Ducky]

Oh well looks like I get to miss the best major group of all time!

[jaster]

:(

[Jarro]

Oh well looks like I get to miss the best major group of all time!

if you get up early enough in the morning i'll talk you through it :p

[Ducky]

I'm up now, Jarro.

[Moe Norman]

nice brain fart from DL III - impressive to go out in 30 though.

[McMw]

will watch the repeat tonight - should be good viewing this weekend...plenty of birdies...

[Ducky]

Geoff Ogilvy could have been in great position if it wasn't for a few bad holes. His round included seven birdies, two bogeys, and one double bogey.

[Jarro]

how about the slam-dunk by Olin Browne :shock:

[Ducky]

God damn it, I am missing the best PGA championship ever!

[Ducky]

Well after changing a few settings on my PC, I finally got the live stream working.

Its actually quite good quality. They should do this in more tournaments.

[Ducky]

Well, after watching the pairing (grouping would be a more suitable term) of Mickelson, Ogilvy, and Woods, I would not be surprised if Ogilvy wins. He is all over the pins and appears to be striking the ball exceptionally well. Both Mickelson and Woods were struggling off the tee and playing recovery golf (but did manage to escape penalty on numerous occasions).

There wasn't a whole lot of coverage for the other players, but Allenby did get his fair share and had a lot of birdie opportunities. Unfortunately, he was putting terribly and didn't capitilise.

[Grunt]

Great round by Ogilvy, right there with Woods. Watching you could really see he was enjoying his round with Tiger. Different story for Mickleson, he looked like he was right out of place in the group.

[Grunt]

Did I miss it or do Tiger not shake Mickleson's hand after the round completed?

[Grunt]

Following Aussies through to the 3rd Round
Ogilvy -7
Scott -4
Allenby -2
N Green -2
R Green -2
Appleby -1
Baddeley E

Cut @ Even

[Ducky]

I had to laugh at this part of an article from PGA.com.


While Ogilvy never expected to be the crowd favorite, he did draw some satisfaction from being recognized now and then. Until he capitalized on Mickelson's meltdown at the U.S. Open in June, he was often confused with PGA Tour regular Joe Ogilvie. So much so that on Thursday, squeezed in among all the "Go, Phil!" and "You're the man, Tiger!" shouts was at least one "Go, Joe"

[goughy]

Has tiger ever lost a major leading into the final round??

[Moe Norman]

nope, but Donald is fresh meat

[Jarro]

be good to see Ogilvy have a strong final round, he's been pretty solid all week actually.

[Ducky]

Has tiger ever lost a major leading into the final round?
Lead 11 times, won 11 times.

[perci]

Lets hope ELEN saps some of his energy tonight! I know i wouldn't be able to pick up a club after a night with her.

[Moe Norman]

i did my do on di marco to win the whole thing.

I also had a sneaky nibble on Villegas to get Top 10 and he didn't make the cut. got a few lives bets still though

[McMw]

a solid round by Ogilvy tonight would validate his US Open win and shut some pie-holes in the states for good!!!

[Toolish]

Geoff just blew it, missing 2 x 5 footers on the 3rd for double.


On the plus side Scott is making a charge, 3 under through 6.

[Toolish]

Make that 4 under through 7 for Scotty...tied 4th, 4 back from Tiger.

[Toolish]

5 under through 9...

Nearly the first time Scott has made a charge on a Sunday in a major.


I love talking to myself...and my post count is loving it even more!

[3oneday]

I love talking to myself...and my post count is loving it even more!:lol:

Tiger by 8 in the end ????

Pete

[Moe Norman]

he has charged on Day 4 in a major before, but it's always when there is oo much to do.

ie: no pressure!

[Ducky]

Well I'm stuck watching Mickelson and Poulter hack it around, because stupid PGA.com can't get their shit together with the live coverage.

[Toolish]

I am watching CBS on http://www.tvunetworks.com ...ESPNAsia also have it on to I think

[jaster]

That's 12....will take a brave man to think he is not going to break The Bears record within the next 5 years. Having been a huge Nicklaus fan my whole life and owning 20 odd books of his I find it surreal to think someone is only 6 majors off equally him. I honestly thought it was so far out of reach when I was a kid.

Go TIGER!

[Ducky]

Well, it's lucky I'm not a gambling man. Ogilvy wasn't even in the hunt.

[Moe Norman]

Ogilvy had no touch with the shortgame - he made bogey nearly every time he missed a green!

Too soft a course for him?

[McMw]

not a bad week for the aussies tho...
Webb top 10 (LPGA), Moseley top 10 (EPGA), Scott/Ogilvy (PGA)
