Retief Goosen sets himself up nicely at British Open - For another collapse

While Tiger Woods marched on toward the second of the three majors he’s winning this year, a familar sight appeared just behind the best golfer of all time. There was Retief Goosen throwing up a 6-under 66 in Saturday’s third round, moving within three shots of Tiger.

Sometimes objects in your rearview mirror are closer than they appear. And sometimes they’re much farther.

For Goosen has as much chance of catching Tiger as Tom Arnold does of stealing Katie Holmes away from Tom Cruise. Here’s predicting another final round meltdown for the Goose, who as it was predicted here is done as a major player in the wake of turning into pudding at Pinehurst.

Must say I am surprised that TravelGolf.com’s Jennifer Mario is not jumping on her Goose’s bandwagon though. Instead she’s actually making reasonable points about Tiger being greater than Jack.

What’s a matter Jen and fellow Goosen gullibles? Where’s all that belief? What happened to sticking by your man?

He hasn’t shot that St. Andrews Sunday 77 yet.

One thing I like about you, you have balls. Deep down you no this guy has what it takes to win this week, but youre sticking with your previous dumbass comments. I admire that,I really do. man oh man will you hear it tommorow if the goose pulls through today.I think youre forgetting that this guy insnt normal, he was struck by lightning, which caused serious memory issues. Have you listened to a interview with this guy. He's very vague because he doesnt make all the correct connections. So he doesnt remember much of the us open

Thanks for noticing my face, Non Idiot. Such a flatterer. But back to point, yeah you really had to be impressed with Goosen going out there and gagging all over himself on the way to a front nine 39 that put him completely out of contention before he could really collapse.

This may have escaped you, but he did pretty much exactly what I said he would. But here it is for you again: Retief Goosen is done as a major player.

By the way, did you start going by the identifier Non Idiot because people were getting confused?

that was very funny, i probably deserved it. I'm also sorry about the face comment. in your picture you actually look like a handsome man. I'm not really such an agressive asshole as i made out to be, just like your not the idiot for saying he's done as a major player.

I always love guys like you, who no doubt are the biggest chokers in every sport you ever played and a expert from your TV room on everyone. Goosen done as a major player? You must have been choking down some food with Hefty, excuse...Lefty and forgot to look. He'll win another before you write a intelligent column. That can be banked on !
