Full story: www.golf.com

Shortly after carding his opening-round 77 , a furious Lee Westwood slammed the PGA Championship committee, suggesting it had ruined a great golf course and that the motive was to embarrass the players.

The people came to see birdies and they haven't seen me make one yet today..... Yea Lee, they came just to watch you play golf you idiot. Who died and proclaimed you the people's champion? Are you the Rock or something?
Anyways, go home, you won't need to do anymore complaining as you obviously don't have the skills to be here this weekend. Funny, plenty of others made the cut, and they aren't embarassed, maybe you should stop making excuses for your lackluster performance. P!ece of Sh!t
You are exactly correct. This jackass is making millions of dollars and is bitching about having to play one hard golf course that he obviously could not play. He is not the only bitch out there they had several players crying.Most of these pros are the biggest girls in the world. I think they should go fuck themselves.

Gentlemen, obscene remarks are totally uncalled for. I do agree with your sentiments however. I personally am tired of hearing about Eldrick and how golf has been diminished because of his absence. He was not there people!!!!!!!!!! Padraig Harrington has proved his meddle, taking TWO majors back to back in extremely adverse conditions. He never once complained about the course conditions, weather or any other bullshit, He just played GOLF as it was meant to be played, HIT FAIRWAYS, GREENS IN REGULATION, AND MAKE CLUTCH PUTTS!!!!!!!! Forget the whiners, wannnabes, and crybabies, moronic tv talking heads, and assinine sportswriters. Eldrick would be the first to tell you what a wonderful job Padraig did in winning back to back MAJORS.

You right,deeto4, but sometimes these foreign golfers just put their foot in their mouths i.e. Els. We have had some good/great golf without Woods and it will continue. When Woods comes back, IF, in 2009 then we will see.

Yes, he did put his foot in his mouth. A question. If Tiger had made the same statement would the reaction be the same? I seem to remember a few years age he said a curse was toooo tough and the reaction was not the same as the reaction to Westwood. Could it be not what was said but who said it?

Seeing the Open in person was great. Got to play St Andrews but had to come home early. Going in Thursday for quad bypass.

Play golf seven days a week . Walking, not riding a cart so you can stay close to the beer like you.

What's wrong with saying something about the Open. We have to listen to you talk about following Tiger around with your nose up his a$$ a all the majors you talk about attending.
It was not Southern Hills. it was another course where he was complaining about the rough so high and fairways unfair.

Daily Horoscope for May 21

Gemini

A little give and take goes a long way, so try to be flexible and malleable when dealing with others. It will also pay to ask people what they think rather than to make sweeping assumptions on their behalf, because you could be in for a surprise. A child may have some interesting information for you, or they could make a statement that really sets you thinking.
