Woods out to 7's.

..............................Odds.......Stake.... .......Profit
Back ....Jason Day....84.49......241.00....20,121.00
Lay.......Jason Day.......8.4.....(500.01).....3,700.07

I lost a few hundred on other players (but have Na, Lawrie, Thompson still running badly).
I cashed out for €500 and might let the remaining €16k possible win run. I very luckily got €20 at 200 on Jason Day (included inside the 84.49 odds above).
Tiger Woods is playing terribly but getting away with it. I think Tiger won't be in the fight.

Tiger has been by far playing the best golf of anyone there. Bar the cruel bit of luck hitting the flag and making a bogey he may well of been leading. In fact its been a better and more consistent start than his last 3 wins. Cant understand you saying he is "getting away "with it. He has been driving well, swinging well, excellent short game and holding out real well.

If he continues to play the same he will for sure be in the fight. He already is!

Mind boggling statement.

solid bit of trolling from Kincsem

you think?

[Wesley Harms]

you think?

Havent seen it from him before, doubt he would randomly start trolling. Obv he is watching re run of last years masters

[Downtown]

Also pretty sure Tiger wont be disqualified. Load of hot smoke.

[underachievement]

should kick out snedeker & scott too........... getting a bit close to the top of the leader board for my liking

[Aya14]

I may not be the most knowledgeable on the rules but if he signed the card and broke a rule shouldn't he pay the price? The same way as the Chinese kid did

[Lazare]

Some great prices available on BF for 3rd round leader.

Took a few of them.

Rose @ 18
Snedeker @ 11.5
KJ @ 37
Furyk @ 16.5
Rory @ 25

Moving day, Rory's gonna move imo, what a price for four shots back.

[Downtown]

Its all hot air imo. He didn't really break a rule. He dropped the ball about 2 yards further back from where he hit the original ball. Its hard to be precise in these things, especially after walking to the drop zone and back. The fact that he was no nearer the hole will make it hard to dq him. There would be no sniff of a problem were it not for his interview after saying he went 2 yards further.

The rule in question states that he should play the drop as near as possible to where the original shot took place. Alot of ambiguity there and considering its Tiger with all his sponsorship clout etc in the Masters, contending.

Only real chance he is dq'd is the very real possibility that Augusta remains to be a predominantly racist organisation who just don't want the black kid winning another jacket.

I actually thought I had backed him, it was only when I was posting that I realised I didn't.

[eamonhonda]

two trebles on two balls for fun: mcilroy, westwood, rose and cabrera, kuchar, johnson

[mugsy]

Woods out to 7's.

who went 7s

[thedini]

who went 7s

BF.

[thedini]

Woods is 5/6 with BetVictor to be disqualified, 5/6 not disqualified.

Paddy Power will refund outright bets if Tiger gets DQ'd.

when will we find out if he is dq'd?

You would expect before the first player goes out today. Bubba is first at I think 2.25pm

Was about to start pimping the idea of how great Paddy would look if they did something like this

Now do I want him out or not

Is he not allowed to take the ball back as far as he likes on the same line he hit his first one?

Bit out of touch with rules of golf obviously, but is there not something in the rules about dropping in line with original spot but go back as far as you want
(trying to think why he did it)

[Downtown]

I was pretty sure that's the rule but apparently not relevant to this. I got on for the value on BF. sweating this dq pretty hard.

[NewApproach]

Based on betfair prices before any of this furore and now, it's implied that it's slightly better than an 8/11 shot he stays in.

Big drift again, expect disqualification, out to 8.6.

Tiger
14th hole: standard iron approach shot. He flew the green
15th hole: drove it into the trees on the right
16th hole: tee shot into the bunker
17th hole: drove left into rough, blocked by trees
18th hole: iron shot 35ft long from centre of fairway, three putts.

Is that good play?

[Opr]

Twitter alight with two stroke penalty.

Source - Hunter Mahan on twitter : I've heard a two shot penalty for Tiger. Interesting

Opr

[NewApproach]

2 stroke penalty? That's a joke if so. Augusta making up new rules it seems.

They bottled it big style

[KevIRL]

When questioned about Guan and his one shot penalty for slow play, Tiger said "rules are rules"

Some farce if 2 stroke penalty is true

[Wesley Harms]

Confirmed 2 stroke penalty

[eamonhonda]

fuck the haterz. lets do this

[kincsem]

A very pleasant start to the day for me. I just woke up, learned I had re-established my reputation as the retard of IPB, Tiger Woods possibly getting disqualified, and best of all I found a very nice baklava pastry in the fridge, so now I am enjoying a nice coffee and baklava and looking forward to the golf. Ha ha.

[NewApproach]

All I'm hoping is that if he does DQ himself, which there seems to be lots of talk of, it goes down officially as 'Withdrawn' rather than 'Disqualified'.

I took some 5/6 with VC a short time ago.

[connie147]

They bottled it big style

they changed the rules 2 years ago. prior to that, he would have been DQ for signing for a wrong score. The reason they changed the rule was the time Padraigh Harrington got DQ a day later when a tv viewer contacted officials to say his ball moved before he putted it in the hole. The guy was watching on HD tv. Officials checked with Harrington and agreed it did move, but so little that Harrington didnt realise it. He was DQ because he received a 2 stroke penalty, and as he had already signed his card, there was no leway only a DQ.

Here is the rule they added

"The governing bodies determined players should not be disqualified because of "facts that he or she didn't know and could not reasonably have discovered prior to returning his scorecard. Thus, stroke penalties will be added to a score retrospectively."

This doesn't apply though. He did know the facts, in fact it was he who drew attention to the issue in his interview.

[kincsem]

I just want to know if he will be wearing the red shirt.

[D3kka]

The "rules committee" were made aware of the "tv viewer complaint" while Tiger was playing the 18th and they adjudged he complied with the rules before he finished his round.

So they saying cause they already judged the matter before he signed his card that it waivers the DQ

14th: got a flyer from the rough. right over the pin. Great up and down. Par
15th: Are you serious? hits the flag ffs. Nails the next for bogey.
16th: big deal he just after hitting the flag and turning a 4 into a 6 at 15! Still makes par
17th: Makes par
18th: His approach might look 35ft long but it was only maybe 5ft long from the ridge he was aiming for. tough two putt.

Tiger has been dialed in all year. If it weren't for hitting a flag he would be odds on favorite and prob last time anyone else saw the lead.

Interestingly you dont count the other 32 holes he played to get to -5 and share of the lead without breaking sweat.

Has anyone got any links to the coverage for today?? Thanks in advance

"Most golfers would not be comfortable winning this golf tournament". He said that numerous players agreed with him.
That is a phenomenal level of ignorance!!

Gotta like tim clark..seems like a super nice fella and just gets on with his game even though most are bombing drives past his by 30 yards.
