Can you believe he gave the ball to a fan ?

What do you think that ball is worth ?

I was watching the online video coverage of Amen corner while sitting at my computer. Rory and Graeme were on 13 and you could hear a very load roar from afar. I was wondering if it was from the leaders, but wow, never thought it was an albatross.

Edit: they just showed how Hanson, putting for par on #1, was disturbed by the roar from Louie.

Tell me what y'all think...

Hanson looks shaky, I'm thinking he is going to wilt.

Bubba looks nervous on the greens...he's not gonna get it done.

Weswood is fading.

Louis, Mickelson, Harrington, Kuchar looks solid.

It all comes down to the back nine, my friend.  You can lose the Jacket on the front, but you have to win it on the back.

Ask ANGC if they wanted it, if not, probably the world golf hall of fame or the USGA museum.

If he wins it, that ball belongs to the game of golf.

Mac --

You have to think Louis O. has the advantage now, don't you? Great par save on #3 right after the double eagle.

Anyone notice Patrick Cantlay's card today?

2 eagles... 5 birdies... and he finished with a 72.  He holed out on #7 for his first eagle, and wasn't all that far from an albatross on #15.

But he also made a double bogey on #14, which followed a nine on #13.
