Pet peeve of the day. Pronunciation of the Korean surname Choi as in KJ Choi. That is the dumbest romanization I've ever seen for a foreign name. The proper pronunciation is Chway ryhmes with sua of suade. P.S. Hyandai is hyon like you say hon for honey with the y sound slipped. dai rhymes with day. |

Honestly, who cares about Korean phonetics?

Now that I know the correct pronunciation of Hyandai, I'll refrain from ruining it.

Sergio is self destructing 2 over through 8, now down to -7 tied for the lead with Andres Romero (who drove it in the bushes) and Els and Stricker are only 1 back. Tiger still has an outside shot at -4 through 14.

1) kamikaze It's kah-mee-kah-zeh, not kam-mah-kah-zee 2) harakiri It's ha-rah-key-ree, not hairy-kerry 3) Tokyo It's toe-kyo (two syllables, long o on the end), not toe-key-oh And how did Beijing ever become Peking?

Why I love golf:
It makes even the pros look human. Sergio just missed a 7 foot putt to win it all and it lipped out. 4 hole playoff between Garcia and Harrington getting ready to start.

Then Sergio bogeys 1, and Padraig makes birdie, on the 4th playoff hole, Paddy bogeys, Sergio with a putt to tie, misses. Padraig Harrington wins the British Open, man Carnoustie does something to you.

Yes, Carnoustie does have a way to stick it to a golfer. Jean Van de Velde knows that all too well.
