I was sorry it wasn't Tiger Woods rather than Sergio Garcia who made an unbelievable 13 on the 15th hole today. At least the ESPN announcers were more restrained and more professional than the NBC and CBS commentators, who sound more like a cheering section. Listening to them, you'd swear that the only reason to watch any golf tournament is to see Woods. Sometimes I think they must get paid a bonus every time they mention his name, which is far too often for my liking. Recently, NBC actually asked other golfers if they were hoping Woods won if they didn't win. I was hoping someone would give the right answer, which is "No".
The golfers I'm rooting for are Mickelson, the ever-smiling Kuchar, Zach Johnson, and Spieth, and it'd be a vindication for Spieth to win after having lost so dramatically to Danny Willett (currently tied for 55th place.) Also, you can't help cheering for Tony Finau after his combination hole-in-one/dislocated ankle.
Can the fans please stop bellowing "In the hole", "Ba-ba-booey", and other exclamations? I see that anyone shouting "Dilly dilly" will be thrown out, and if so, good riddance!
