Speaking of Lefty
Big oops -- pulled an Ian Poulter mistake but in reverse. Ian dropped the ball on his marker which was on the green, moving it.
Quote:
At one point, it looked like a penalty on the 11th hole might cost Mickelson a spot on the weekend. When he went to mark his ball on the green, he dropped his ball marker on the ball, causing it to move.
Mickelson moved his ball back to its original position, but the result was a one-stroke penalty.
The rule Mickelson violated was Rule 20-1/15, which says any accidental movement of the ball or the ball-marker which occurs before or after this specific act, such as dropping the ball or ball-marker, regardless of the height from which it was dropped, is not considered to be directly attributable and would result in the player incurring a penalty stroke.

Very likely going to miss yet another cut. Full story here.

Whatever it may have been, it looks like they're going to get only two days' worth of celebritiness. Not the ROI they were shooting for, one can assume.

Yes, I do. The pattern for Tiger is to play 2 weeks before a major, then take the week before major off. It has nothing to do with money.
Tiger needs to prep for the British Open. Why wouldn't he play in these events without being paid? He's not going to get any better practicing at home.

In the Ladies golf Lexi Thompson has been all over the county with her score going up and down like a yoyo. Yet she's still in contention. An unbelievable round.

Tiger misses the cut, unless he aces the last hole

Another serial adulterer gets encouragement from drone like fans while his kids suffer from yet another shattered marriage as a result of infidelity.
GO TIGER.
