PrintThe leaders in the 51st Bob Hope Classic tee off at 1pm ET. The final group is a threesome of co-leaders Alex Prugh and Bubba Watson, as well as Bill Haas.
This is the third Monday finish in the history of the Hope.
Early on, the only guy to make a move is Graham DeLaet - WHO? - who is three-under through four holes. DeLaet earned his card through Q-school but had only ever made two PGA Tour starts in the '07 and '09 Canadian Open.

It looks like
the fantasy thing is screwed up. Just when I was making a move……lol
The Saints are in the SUPER BOWL....WHO DAT!
Ryan
Are they going to get the fantasy site fixed, or is the 5th round a wash out?
The Saints are in the SUPER BOWL....WHO DAT!
here's some trivia I didn't know...
…apparently Tim Clark has the patent on the draw. does he get royalties when anybody turns a ball right to left ?
"this ball will fit in that fairway"
Tim Clark
Watch out, he’s getting hot also. Gonna be hard to beat Kuch if he keeps that up. Looks like it’s going to be a great finish and worth the 17.00 up-charge I had to pay the hotel to get TGC. YIKES
"pain is only weakness leaving the body"
I don't know
what your complaining about EM…Da Saints came through for you….as far as this fantasy thing, as far as I’m concerned, it couldn’t get worse if the second coming was playing and I didn’t pick him….Jumpin….now I know your losing the bets to me and EM…anybody dumb enough to PAY to watch the GC is bound to lose….yukyuk,yuk,….STUB
Is this Billy Andrade on the broadcast ? I know he’s one of the new hires…and further proof that xxx Golf Channel really needs to start by hiring someone who knows talent. I like Andrade, but leaving him alone in the booth as a rookie – not a good idea even if the alternative is having Lerner with him.
"this ball will fit in that fairway"
True @ dumb enough STUB
I could have watched it in the noisey bar downstairs on one of the smaller TV’s over in the corner of shame. The good news is I bought my own bottle of barcardi on the cab ride over and I have a 42" TV in my room. Three drinks at the bar downstairs cost $24.00 plus tip, so you see my justification. But your correct blaaaaaaaaah @ paying to watch TGC
"pain is only weakness leaving the body"
I'm shocked
That Tim Clark didn’t do for the green on his second shot at 18 from only 225 yards. Playing safe isn’t gonna win a tournament on Monday.
"pain is only weakness leaving the body"
or at least lay up closer to the green for a pitch instead of an in-between shot. That green couldn’t have looked very big from 225.
"this ball will fit in that fairway"
I know court
a seven iron lay up,,gee wiz ,,o’h well was a good finish worth watching. I was hoping for a play off for my extra 17 bucks
"pain is only weakness leaving the body"
Woulda worked if Clark had made that putt. I thought it was a reasonable risk-reward for him (i.e. minimal risk for more reward since Kuchar parred and Clark knew it). If Kuchar had made the birdie, Clark would have gone for the green. The best laid plans…
Anyway, it was brutal. In the fantasy I had both Watson and Haas as my A players. I played Watson.
Truth has a well-known liberal bias.
did you hear the interview with Kuchar after the round today ? He said that first putt on 18 was 70’ long, but Shotlink had it a 90’ – that putt was nowhere near where it had to be.
"this ball will fit in that fairway"
I was ...
shocked too…Clark looked quick and nervous to me..I reckon he didn’t fancy the 225 shot, probably was worried about hooking it into the lake. Still should have gone for it, the best a birdie would have been was a playoff anyway. his lay up took the pressure off the rest.
Very true easing
taking the pressure of the rest. Besides the fact he isn’t one that usually hooks the ball.
"pain is only weakness leaving the body"
Good finish!
Plenty going on. A finishing par five like that helps to make a tournament exciting. Bubba must have been drawing a big breath when is second barely cleared the water. Desmond Muirhead had a great quote: “Hitting the ball into the sand is like a car crash, there’s a chance for recovery, hitting it into the water is like a plane crash.” Everybody stoked for San Diego?
After the final hole one of the announcers said,
“Did you hear what he said!!!” … as if Haas uttered something unusual. But we never found out. Oh well.
