        I disagree. The very point of spectator sports is to watch amazing shit happen. Which makes it perfectly appropriate when people lose their minds over amazing shit happening.

            I think 89th is right in that there's nothing new going on here. It's quiet when they swing so why is it obscene to be excited while watching a very exciting thing?

                  For golf fans that scene at the 1960 British with Arnold Palmer being surrounded by the crowd is well known.

                  It was similar to the reception that Phil got yesterday.

                  Mr. Palmer was of course joking with the stagger and limp.

                    Do you mean after the incredible shot from the bunker? Or was there something after he won?

                      I absolutely loved the crowds reaction and support for Phil. Sure there were a few folks there who were over served but no foul... folks were quiet during the shots and absolutely bonkers as Phil made history. I really enjoyed watching the swarm of fans on the 18th hole... terrific and instant classic golf moment.

                        There are a couple problems with the swarm

                        There was very little security to protect Mickelson and Koepka and their caddies, Phil got a few guys to help him, but from what I saw the others were on their own.

                        I haven't read about this yet, but a guy told me that Koepka's caddie got punched in the face and that more than one person hit/kicked Koepka's bad knee that recently had surgery.

                        And the game wasn't over at that point. Phil only won by a stroke, there could have been a real problem if someone was hurt.

                          He won by 2 strokes. The match was over as soon as Phil landed his shot on the green. Koepka is a classic heel who can’t take what he dishes out and whines about the crowd and his knee.

                            Phil’s biggest prize may be the automatic entry to the US Open and get one title that has eluded him. Can an old man do back to back?

                              So with all this talk of him being an old timer, I look him up and he’s 2 years younger than me.

                              Only non-witches get due process.

                                Speaking old timers, the average age of the CNN viewer is 64. MSN is 68 and Fox is 65. A Cadillac owner is 56! Now you should feel really young.

                                  Nope, would be fun but nope. Poor dude has come in 2nd place SIX times in that event.

                                        Trump's not a loser, he's right up there with Franklin Pierce, Pehr Svinhufvud, Aden Abdulle Osman Daar, and other household names who have changed the world in their only term. Look how many times he won impeachment, Horace, Donald Trump is anything but a loser.

                                          Jack has 19 major second place finishes (Phil 11).

                                          I wish I had 19 major second place finishes.

                                          I would be happy with one.

                                          As far as the age thing, I really don’t see how his age is really that much of a detriment to him yet. Maybe the young guys fan drive the ball 20 yards farther, but I have to figure experience and skill makesup the difference.
