* Spoiler Alert*

Anybody watching it live?

[cAsE sEnSiTiVe]

Yup

[calder]

Wowwww! That spectator was totally drilled with Allenby's drive.

[triplebogeyblues]

Wow. Hope they are OK. They just dropped!

[cAsE sEnSiTiVe]

Man O Shevitz did that guy get pluncked by Allenby or what?

I saw that too. OOOOOWWWWW!!!! I hope that guy is OK

[swbyps]

Hopefully hes ok. Its going to be tough for Allenby to continue being focused after seeing that guy get carted off like that.

[mission_scratch]

bringing out the stretcher .. OUCH.. hope they are okay. nothing more than a hurtful bump and a funny story hopefully....

[triplebogeyblues]

How classy.. handing a bleeding man a signed ball on the stretcher.

[wolfpack]

Oh man, that guy was totally bleeding...

[cAsE sEnSiTiVe]

At least the guy appeared to have good humor about him. I'm not sure I'd be that affable about it after that.

Back in the day, fans seemed to be a bit better about following tee shots.....I see this happen a lot these days.

[SafariThomas]

What that poor fellow needs is a lot of ibuprofen, not a golf ball. He is gonna have one hell of a migraine

[OpusX20]

How long is the putter that Rumford is using? It looks like a telephone pole.

[swbyps]

What a cruel game...

Sounds like the guy Allenby hit has been taken to a local hospital for observation.... Let's hope he's OK!

Next big thing in golf - tour issued spectator helmets.....Forged by Miura with conforming grooves to see through.

Soon to be followed by a Taylormade all white "Ghost" version with movable weights to suit head-size and in built trajectory sensors and in flight warning lights..............

[SafariThomas]

Wow, I guess TW got his distance back. (379 yds bomb on the 17th)

[cAsE sEnSiTiVe]

Dead downwind, hard fairways don't hurt. His game is in shambles though. Not doing a whole lot right, currently.

[RJC59]

was much more cross than down, plus about 80 and 110 past playing partners. He's clearly added a lot of distance if you look at last two, three tournaments. Probably a good 30 yards. Game is no where near shambles now. Shambles is when you come dead last at Firestone. He's finished in top 15 in last 5 tournies, progressively better in each. If he could putt he'd be right there.

[fredstar]

It's great watching TW and the boys on a real course for a change. ;-)

[Sticks]

I have to agree that Tiger Woods is hitting it much bigger in the last 3 tournaments that Ive seen in months past. If you watched the recent skin games that was televised on the golf channel, he was a consistent 30 yards beyond his closest competitor which was usually CASEY and more like 50 yards further than Villegas and the other chap. He actually made Villegas look short.. He even commented to his caddie how far he was ripping them. Unfortunately during the skins game, he was ripping everythign too far, through the fairway and into trouble. One hole that was a 390 yard par 4 with water on the left he drove just short of the greenside traps on about a 350+ yard carry with 20 yards roll netting him a 370 yard drive. When they interviewed him on one hole, he said he hit a PW 155 yards pin high, which translates to about a 126-130mph driver swing speed. If he can somehow get his accuracy back on his driver and make some putts, he will be a force in 2011.

[Ezgolfer]

Sergio ....65 ... Talk about solid ball striking on a windy day..... and ah draining putts help to shoot low as well.

[fredstar]

Yeah Tigers swing is looking much nicer under Foley. Gone is the dipping head on the downswing and a much more balanced finish. I like it and I think he's gonna come good once the creases are ironed out.

Hope they are ok.

[bustedbunny]

How good are these old traditional firm & bouncy courses in Melbourne, just shows something doesn't need to be 7500yds to be tough.......

Not accusing Allenby of this, but some pros don't shout fore because they hope for a bounce on spectators onto the fairway ...

[grantc]

Did anybody catch what happened with Sergio and the cameraman? I couldn't really make sense of it.

[jmvargas]

sergio garcia is really playing like crap!... he shot 77 today after his 65 yesterday...

tiger also is struggling with only even par 71 today but at least he's still under par--barely--for the tournament....

i really hope sergio get's his act together soon as based on his recent showings he seems headed for oblivion!!

PS.......he even missed the cut in a tournament played on his home course last month!!

[iBanesto]

Daniel Gaunt played really well on the Challenge Tour this year.

He could close it out tomorrow.

[corky]

tiger's annus horriblus continues..... not sure that his swing needs working on as much as he needs to get the putter working.
