Seems Rory maybe needs to slow down and think about his shots a little more. Oh and learn to keep his trap shut.

He Got SMOKED Golf is not Basketball or Football you can't talk trash, you have to let you game show how good you are.

I was at the practice round and coming off 18 he said "I only give balls to girls" to some kids who asked for balls or an autograph.

Days like today are just more positive reinforcement that reminds my why I love golf so much. I played great, Tiger kicked Rory's butt, Ochoa won her first major. Just a wonderful day in my own little golf world.

the PGA Tour would be better off without him. There was always something about him i didn't like. he seemed to always give of a bad vibe... kinda the David Simms of the tour. hahaha

What a whiner. He was pissed the last half of that round... it was funny to watch after listening to his big mouth. He got THRASHED (and still had to shake Tiger's hand) Click to view attachment Click to view attachment Click to view attachment Not only did Tiger win, but he looks better in yellow also. Go cry in your fur coat, Rory, you loud mouth. Click to view attachment

^^^^ ^^^^

He didn't have to shake his hand. Didn't Rory walk off when his playing partner was too slow last year? Tiger should have done that, but he's got too much class.

This is another reason Tiger is so dominant. He gets in people's heads to the point that they pretty much concede to him. If Tiger was 8 back, do you think he'd just say, "Oh, well, I guess second is good enough."? NO WAY.

is it just me or did he not finish out on 18 before Tiger like most players do when they're not in contention and paired with the obvious winner?

wasn't there an article in golf digest a year or two ago with a caddies poll about who was the most disliked player on tour, and Rory was it. Caddies know what is really going on on tour.

No, Tiger was away, pretty far, and lagged it into the cup. I loved the look on his face when he did that. Priceless! He had a sheepish grin that was like "What can I say? Everything is dropping today!"

This image is priceless ha ha The look on Tigers face is like: Take that you little chump, Oh by the way, howd you like the NEW Tiger today



I would so badly have wanted to do the whole "soooomebody's Clooooser" in the Adam Sandler voice today Ha ha

Did anyone happen to notice what belt Hory was wearing? Just be intresting if was arrogant enough to wear the big ugly one?

Glad I could share this here.I watched it live and trailed the trio all day.It was fun to see Rory collapse like that.He literally started cracking at hole 3 and just completely mauled at #4.

Fast forward to the ejection incident...yeah it happened alright.He got his due on the 18th green right before their final putts.Somebody shouted "How do you like the new Tiger now?".The guy who shouted that got booed but it ilicited a frown from Rory.Hahaha serves him right.

Does what he said have a sexual conditation to it or is it just me?

^^He looks like a big baby in that picture, like he wants to jump up and down and shout, "It's not fair! It's not fair! IT'S NOT FAAAAIIIIRRR!!"

Big baby.

Ya know, Hory is probably dumb enough to say it all again... and law of averages maybe after the 100th time Tiger might have his "Z" game, and the Hory would be stupid enough to say, "see told ya he was beatable"

Im still laughing at the little loser ha ha

Seriously? Tell me this is a joke.

I find it pathetic that he asked for someone to be removed from the course just because they asked him if Tiger was still beatable. If you can't handle the pot shots that will come at you after you say something like that then you should just go home.

My question is wonder how hard it was for Sabbatini to look Tiger in the eye on the 18th when they shook hands? I bet Tiger was loving every second of that.

So which Nike staffer is next in line to open their mouth and then get trounced?

one of the biggest unwritten rules in golf besides "don't cheat" is never ever trash talk in golf!!....especially on the best player in the world! i do respect the way how woods lets his clubs do the talking.......have not been a fan of sabbatini's ever since he pulled that stunt on ben crane.....

Mcbush, that's a good point, I wonder if Nike really wants their Staff players squabbling with each other. Not that Tiger is squabbling with Rory, it's all one-sided of course.

You just KNOW that if Tiger was an a$$hole, and Rory really bothered him, he could get Nike to drop him in a minute. But Tiger would never do that, he's too classy, and more importantly, Rory is like a mosquito to a giant-barely noticeable.

One word .... OWNED...Who's yo Daddy??

Deja Vu:

I love how throught he whole article he referers to DLIII as Davis Love the Nerd, I never knew that happened but he sounds like a jerk.

Very well written article

i bet sabaweenie and dl3 are best buds

and they play practice rounds in complete silence

all you can hear is gum smacking down the fairway

Don't really see the need to bring DLIII into it. Love is one of the classiest guys out there and totally different person to Sabbatini.

Good job by the moderators to quickly clean up that naughty URL.



Was that you, Rory?

I just happen to be on the site he was referring everyone to and it slowed my video feeds down miserably. Of course I acted quickly, but for more selfish reasons than you think.

I was so happy after I walked of the 18th green to go into the restaurant and see Tiger owning Sabbatini. I HATE Rory.

I'm not usually a compassionate, sympathetic person when it comes to guys like Scab-batini (yeah, I'm union), but I just can't help but feel sorry for the poor fella. I bet his wife had a hard time keeping a straight face when she was consoling him as he licked his wounds...

Tiger is a very tactful trash talker. His reply to Rory's original "beatable as ever" comment was something to the effect of "I've won 7 of my last 11 events, he's won 2 in his career." New Tiger? Old Tiger? It just doesn't matter, poor Rory is just one of the boys tryin to be the second best player in the world.

I sincerely doubt that. My guess is that she was off to cash the T2 check from Bridgestone before Rory had his spikes off.

So Rory doesn't like any abuse from the gallery?

What about his dumb-a** wife wearing a T-shirt saying "Keep Up" in reference to Rory's dislike of Faldo's slow play? Was she slung out on her butt?

Mr and Mrs Jerk - sound made for each other.

Like Tiger, Faldo handled himself well. During the post-round interview, he joked that he thought the shirt had something to do with sexual dysfunction:

Evil plan scenario somebody could make t-shirts accidentally lose them stating "I like the new Tiger don't U" surrounding Sabbatini gallery the guy would absolutely lose it ask for mercy buy this point. Is this is going to be his legacy pissing off #1? Remember its his world right now just enjoy the view.

A find the whole tyrade on rory a bit ridiculous. Especially some of the childish hooting from some of you .I cant remember many people kicking up a stink when DLIII asked someone to be evicted from the matchplay due to some pratt shouting "no love" constantly. I do feel RS left him self open with a comment like he made, he now realises probably you dont F&*k with Tiger woods but laying into him like this is a bit off. The guy is trying to do a job on a golf course like any of them. His comment about Tiger I feel would have been a strong sentiment from a few players but Rory was the only one to have the balls to say it. Yes he got trashed on the course yesterday but fair play to him. He shook hands at the end of the day and next week is a new adventure. Im not siding with anyone here I just find the labelling of asomeone we barely know a bit off.

i like Rory, he is one of the most fun players on tour to watch/read about. He does things his own way, he's cocky, he has an unorthodox swing and he always says whats on his mind.

If there were no Rory Sabbatinis on tour, then there would be no interesting news about golf. If everyone talked like Tiger did...AKA lying through his teeth, always saying whats right just because its right, it would be an awfully boring world. Tiger always says and does what people expect him to do, Rory is real. Tiger has to say these things because he is such a role model, but it just gets old sometimes in my opinion.

Payne Stewart was a cocky guy, everyone liked him. Davis Love has whined about spectators, everyone likes him. Rory walked off a green when Ben Crane was putting...most of us probably would have done the same thing.

I dont think people should be ridiculed for being REAL. Id much rather follow a guy like Rory around for a day of golf then a boring guy like Zach Johnson.

I think that Rory was a little further ahead of Ben Crane than just walking off of a green. Other than that, I agree with you 100%. I always pull for the guy and I would have liked to see him hand Tiger his a$$. I'll probably be waiting a while to see that though.

That's because the DL3 incident happened, what...7 years ago? Had Love pulled that recently, I guarantee there would be some outcry. Maybe not as much as there is with Sabbatini, but there's a good reason. Hypocrisy. The guy can talk smack, but can't handle getting talked at. He cries for class when it suits him, but has his wife heckling other players when it doesn't.

It reminds me of a story of a guy I once knew. Let's call him Gerald Whiley. Gerald Whiley once heckled other members for falling out of grace and for being loud about said fall. Gerald was known for publicly disparaging dissenters, but not too publicly...only in more "secure" forums. Gerald once called me a "pratt," but due to professionalism refrained from calling me a "stronger" word (though 2 sentences later, he called me a D-bag ). But now Gerald is "an exiled member and loving it." Sound familiar?

How about I send you a pm Beruo to discuss this matter further, I dont want my dirty washing put accross the forums

well, since you asked three times.

Sorry Im on the damn work computer, slow as Ben Crane :p

Pm sent

Come on fellas, please wash your dirty linen in public! I don't quite understand what was going on there but it sounded juicy...

Nah--that was about as bad as I get (lol--unless you've got a lot of time on your hands and do a post search on me! ). Just my stab at being cute...which don't work too well when you're a 200lb bald guy.

This is some of the best stuff I've read in a while.

I agree with a lot of you guys that what Rory did was uncalled for, but if it was any other sport no one would care, but because it is golf, a gentleman's sport, some things have to be dealt this way - as much as we love to see it. But in future I think Rory has to watch his mouth and understand that he is also playing that gentleman's sport, not the NBA - because Karma can be sweet and it can be painful.

First off I think Rory should be allowed to say anything he wants. I do not have a problem with it.

He said Tiger is beatable thats very true. It just seems he can not do it.

Seriously I like cocky I like that he wants to run his mouth. Its even more fun when someone shuts him up.

If I was playing against him I would slow play the hell out of him.


What I do not like or understand . Is what gives him the right to get a fan kicked?

The fan was not heckling him , yelling in his backswing or anything like that. He simply asked a question.

Does anyone knows what the rules are regarding this.

I still contend the idiot police officer should have told Rory to stuff it.

Rory if you can not take the heat keep your mouth shut.

Eight shot win and the only person under par made him look pretty unbeatable yesterday.

I'm just glad Tiger won.

Would have been a different story when he lost this one.

These posts are interesting to read.

the quote from the article they fail to point out is that his kids were waiting on the tee on #10 after he used profanity to get that guy kicked out. Do you think they heard him? A little "foot in mouth" syndrome?

That seems to be OK with the tour. They will fine him later, but so what. He could probably reach into his pocket, get his money clip, and pay the fine right there.

The players can swear at the top of their lungs, throw clubs, spit in the cup, etc... and the tour does nothing. But if someone in the crowd speaks above a whisper, throw him out.

I'm not saying that heckling should be OK, just pointing out the hypocrisy.

I have to disagree with most posts here. I LIKE The fact that Rory was trash talking, believing Tiger was beatable. For 10 years Tiger has gotten into most of these guy's heads, and more times than not, it looks like they're playing for a top 10 finish, take your 100 grand, see you next week, thankyouverymuch.

What would everyone be saying if Rory said "No, I don't think anybody can beat Tiger". You guys would be all over him!

Sure, he's a loud mouth, probably said crap he shouldn't, but the tour needs more fiery competitors like him.
