Notes from TNT’s Coverage of the PGA Championship from Whistling Straits in

Kohler, Wis. – Final Round – Sunday, August 15, 2010

Announcers: Ernie Johnson, Ian Baker-Finch, Billy Kratzert and Jim Huber

Baker-Finch on Tom Lehman using a wedge to putt a shot close to the hole from the fringe: “well done, if you try and chip those you can look like an idiot very easily.”

Johnson on the virtual map showing Wisconsin and zooming in on Whistling Straits: “There’s Milwaukee. I was born there Kratz (Kratzert), I wonder if they could zoom in to North 68th Street.”

Kratzert on the play of Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson: “Every round he’s (Mickelson) struggling to make par. He is working too hard…I watch Tiger and I watch Phil, these guys are struggling. This is as soft as this golf course is going to play and the guys who are playing well are taking advantage of it. The #1 and #2 players in the world, they’re just not playing well.”

Kratzert on Woods’ poor play this year: “This year we’ve been robbed of the ‘Tiger Moments’, frankly because he hasn’t played well and there haven’t been many.”

Baker-Finch on the leaderboard featuring a slew of golfers in their 20’s:  “We’re seeing a little bit of the changing of the guard, with the young guys coming… It’s the guys on that leaderboard that we’ll be seeing for the next 10 years. Previously we’ve seen (Retief) Goosen, (Jim) Furyk, Tiger (Woods), (Phil) Mickelson and (Ernie) Els.”

Baker-Finch on Tiger Woods terrific iron play: “Best iron player in the game; works the ball better than anyone else….and he hits his nine iron while others are hitting five irons and four irons.”

Kratzert on Woods second shot from the bunker on hole #5, which he successfully hit 5 Wood on in Round 3: “If he takes the 5 Wood out here and gets it anywhere near the green I’m walking out of here and walking all the way out there and shaking his hand.”

Johnson sarcastically: “That’ll make his day.”

Johnson following errant shots by Tim Clark and Tiger Woods into/near the grandstands at #6: “They are putting on a clinic on how not to play the sixth hold…bouncing around like a pinball at #6.”

Baker-Finch on the wind conditions being a reason for the leaders to watch the early round TV coverage: “If I was getting ready to play this afternoon I’d be watching this show just to get as much as I could from the early starters.”

Kratzert after a fan yelled ‘Mashed Potatoes’ during Woods’ tee shot on the 9th: “What does that mean?”

Johnson: “I know what it should mean, ‘thanks for coming, see you later, here’s the gate.’”

Notes from TNT’s Coverage of the PGA Championship from Whistling Straits in

Kohler, Wis. – Round Two – Friday, August 13, 2010

TNT’s Round Three coverage of the PGA Championship continues Saturday., Aug. 14 from 11 a.m. – 2 p.m. ET.

Announcers: Ernie Johnson, Ian Baker-Finch, Bill Kratzert and Jim Huber joined by Bill Macatee, Peter Kostis, Verne Lundquist, David Feherty, Peter Oosterhuis and Gary McCord

Baker-Finch on Matt Kuchar being an early leader in the tournament: “(Kuchar) is playing really nicely and smoothly.  He’s played well all season and he’s seventh on the Ryder Cup list.  He’s in the top ten in the FedEx Cup rankings and he’s jumping up in the world rankings as well.  He was a winner at the end of last season.  I really like what I’m seeing with Matt Kuchar.  He’s been working on a swing change and he’s really nestled in and feels comfortable with it.  I’m not surprised to see him (leading) and I expect to see him there on Sunday afternoon as well.”

Kostis on Ernie Els: “Tee to green, (Els) is impeccable right now.  He is operating on all eight cylinders.”

Kostis on the damp playing conditions during the second round: “Clearly evident are the soft conditions of the greens.  Players are able to take dead aim at very difficult hole locations and rely on the ball hitting, sitting and staying in place.  It looks like a links (course), smells like a links but it doesn’t play like a links.  If this golf course got fiery and fast and you had to bounce the ball around…boy, would it be fun.”

Feherty on the difficulty of the final two holes at Whistling Straits: “The finish of this golf course (holes 17 and 18)…what a vision of loveliness and brutality at the same time.”

Baker-Finch on Bryce Molder: “I love the way (Molder) holds the finish (of his swing).  He’s been playing well this season.  He’s been putting beautifully and he really holds the back of the left hand to the target on the way through.”

Baker-Finch on the ups-and-downs of playing at Whistling Straits: “This golf course can giveth and it can also taketh away.  You’ve got a little stretch in the middle of the round where you can make some birdies and there are some down-wind holes.  But then you’ve got that brute of a finish coming up at the end and pars are hard to make.”

Baker-Finch on the composure of Seung Yul Noh: “Notice (Noh’s) demeanor, it hasn’t changed at all.  Birdie or bogey…it stays the same.”

Feherty on if the course is playing differently in the second round compared to the first round: “I think (the course) is a good deal softer and we’re seeing maybe a little more wind than (in the first round).  It’s exacting its revenge in places.  It’s showing its link-side and there are places where you can’t hit it.”

Kratzert on Ernie Els’ putting during the second round: “(Els) has left some out here.”

Baker-Finch: “He hasn’t putted the same today, has he?”

Kratzert: “He’s kind of struggled (today) and you can see the frustration.”

TNT’s Jim Huber interviewed Matt Kuchar after finishing his second round at the top of the leaderboard.

Kuchar on finishing his round at the top of the leaderboard with -8: “I’m excited to be in this seat. I haven’t been in this situation, but I feel that my game has been really good this year and got me ready to be at this point. Hopefully, it will be a good weekend for me.”

Kuchar on the prospect of being paired with former Georgia Tech teammate Bryce Molder: “That will be exciting, I’m hoping it continues to work out that way. Bryce (Molder) is a great player, We played a couple of practice rounds this week so it would be a lot of fun if we could play together.”

Baker-Finch on how the remaining golfers should handle the challenging weather conditions: “You don’t wan to shoot yourself in the foot in these difficult conditions. If it does stay like this for the next two or two and a half hours, just take it steady, try and make a birdie on the fifth and sixth (holes) when you get an opportunity, but keep the double bogies off the card. Just keep it out of that long fescue and come back tomorrow and hopefully the conditions will be a little calmer.”

TNT’s Jim Huber interviewed Phil Mickelson after finishing his second round at -2.

Mickelson on his second round effort: “I fought hard today. I’m obviously not where I want to be, I want to be up on the leaderboard with all the other guys, but I’m within striking distance. I played a good back nine there to shoot three under for the day and get back in.”

Mickelson on the difficulty of the course and how you need to play it: “It is very penalizing, I missed a number of birdies the first two days. You can’t play for birdies, you can’t get up in the lead unless you get the ball in the fairway. But once you get in the fairway though, you can attack. The greens are soft, they hold shots. Once you’re on the greens you can make some putts.”

TNT’s Jim Huber interviewed Nick Watney after finishing his second round at -7, second on the leaderboard.

Watney on having to play his final six first round holes in addition to the entire second round on Friday: “It wasn’t too bad physically, but we always joke that if we’re playing well we wish we could just keep on going. Luckily today I was playing pretty well and I was able to keep going and it just worked out.”

Watney on the importance of his short game: “I played well, I made a lot of key saves which kept my momentum. This is obviously a very difficult golf course and a short game will save you. That’s what I’ll take away most from the day and I’m looking forward to the weekend.”

Feherty on Camilo Villegas’ physique: “(Villegas) is the best athlete on the (PGA) TOUR without question. He’s becoming an incredibly keen cyclist. That’s what he needs, less body fat.”

Nance: “Not a whole lot there, is there?”

Feherty: “Just muscle, sinew, fiber and heart.”

Baker-Finch: “What would he be? Six, seven percent body fat?”

Feherty: “Not even, no. Unfortunately, I’ve had to do commercials with him where I’ve seen him partially clothed. It’s very depressing for any man.”

Baker-Finch on the short game of Tiger Woods: “We have seen a short game clinic over the last five holes. (Woods) doesn’t need a coach there, that’s just hard work.”

Feherty on Rickie Fowler’s long hair: “All of these guys will be glad to get out of this wind. Rickie, I think, would probably take a severe beating from his hair if he had to play all 18 of this round.”

Notes from TNT’s Coverage of the PGA Championship from Whistling Straits in

Kohler, Wis. – Round Two/Three – Saturday, August 14, 2010

TNT’s Round Three /Final Round coverage of the PGA Championship concludes on Sunday, Aug. 15 from 11 a.m. – 2 p.m. ET.

Announcers: Ernie Johnson, Ian Baker-Finch, Billy Kratzert and Jim Huber

Johnson on former PGA Champion Steve Elkington standing at -3 through the second round: “Wow, getting in the ‘Hot Tub Time Machine’. How about Elk heading into the weekend?”

Kratzert on the low scores through the first two rounds at Whistling Straits: “This is the second time they’ve seen it (the course). They are not intimidated as they were in 2004. That’s why we are seeing the guys shoot the scores they’re shooting.”

Kratzert on Vijay Singh: “This has been a very good putting round by Vijay with the putter, he did not miss anything. You can just feel the confidence growing with Vijay with the putter.”

Baker-Finch on Sergio Garcia possibly joining the European Ryder Cup team: “There is no use in including him if Sergio himself is saying ‘I need to shut it down.’ If he’s playing well he’s the first guy on the plane. If he’s not playing well he needs to shut it down and get his confidence back.”

Baker-Finch on Tiger Woods’ aggressive shot from the sand on the 18th: “I don’t understand this, I really don’t. Why wouldn’t Tiger just take his wedge shot?”

Johnson after Woods hit it on the green: “I guess that’s why.”

Jim Huber interviewed Tiger Woods, who stands at -3 after two rounds.

Woods on his performance through two rounds: “I didn’t really have much today or yesterday. I was happy to get the score I did…I’m in good shape, I’m right there in the ballgame (for the tournament).”

Johnson on the 93rd PGA Championship taking place at Atlanta Athletic Club in John’s Creek: “No per diem for me, just a half hour from my house.”

Kratzert on the long hitters having an advantage to win: “I think that’s going to be the story as the longer players will go ahead and seal the deal.”

Kratzert after a visual of Ernie Els way in the distance in the player’s parking lot: “I’m not feeling bad about the parking spot, he’s got the Mercedes.”

Johnson on France’s Gregory Bourdy: “This putt for Birdie, from Bourdy, from Bordeaux (France).”

Baker-Finch: “You’re killing me.”

Johnson: “Facts are facts.”

Baker-Finch on winning Major Championships: “You need to contend in majors before you have a chance to win them.”

Notes from TNT’s Coverage of the PGA Championship from Whistling Straits in

Kohler, Wis. – Round One – Thursday, August 12, 2010

TNT’s Round Two coverage of the PGA Championship continues Fri., August 13 from 1 p.m. – 8 p.m. ET.

Announcers: Ernie Johnson, Ian Baker-Finch, Bill Kratzert and Jim Huber joined by Bill Macatee, Peter Kostis, Verne Lundquist, David Feherty, Peter Oosterhuis and Gary McCord

Baker-Finch on the changing of the guard between the established golfers and the young, up and coming golfers: “One of the big themes this week and one of the themes throughout the season this year has been the twenty-somethings.  The guys in their early twenties, like the Australian Michael Sim, they are challenging this guy here (Tiger Woods). We’re really seeing a changing of the guard, we’re seeing Phil (Mickelson) not playing well, not in good health, Lee Westwood is in poor health, had to withdraw last week and again this week, and then these twenty-somethings with this aggressive style of play.”

Baker-Finch on Whistling Straits: “Yes, this is the PGA Championship, not the Open Championship. You see these beautiful vistas across Lake Michigan. It really is a wonderful, wonderful venue. I think the best.”

Baker-Finch on who to watch for to win the 2010 PGA Championship: “It’s hard to pick (the potential winner). There are a few different storylines. Everyone has written off Phil Mickelson, he’s not been feeling well, didn’t play well last week, but he’s No. 2 in the world. Tiger, who is No. 1 in the world, has been playing poorly, people wondered if he’d even make the cut, though he’s turned that around with a birdie, birdie start. To me, the theme this week is the young guys. There are so many guys out there in their early twenties like Rory McIlroy from Northern Ireland who loves links golf and grew up on a course similar to this, a very intimidating course. The other young guys, like Ryo Ishikawa from Japan, Hunter Mahan who won last week, so many under the age of 25.  Then also you’ve got those guys like a Bo Van Pelt, guys who are looking to make their way on the Ryder Cup team. Nick Whatney, guys who are playing extremely well and are trying to get on Captain Corey Pavin’s Ryder Cup team in a few weeks. There’s a lot of different things we’re going to see in the next four days, a lot of different guys with an opportunity to win.”

Baker-Finch on whether he would pick Tiger Woods for the U.S. Ryder Cup team: “If I were the Captain I would certainly pick Tiger as well. It’s pretty hard to leave him off the team, but it has to be respectful to the rest of the players who have a chance.”

Macatee on what will happen if Tiger Woods is left off of the U.S. Ryder Cup team: “If you’re (U.S. Ryder Cup captain) Corey Pavin, and you don’t pick the number one player in the world, and you don’t win the Ryder Cup, you’re opening yourself to an awful lot of criticism regardless of how he’s playing.”

Kostis: “Forget about that though, he doesn’t have to pick until September 7. That’s the whole point. If (Pavin) had to pick last Sunday night after (Woods’) performance at Firestone, he doesn’t get picked, that was an awful performance by Tiger. After what he does this week, he may even qualify for the team and it will be a moot point. You don’t have to answer those hypothetical questions right now, just wait until September 7 and it will all work itself out.”

Kostis on Tiger Woods’ strong early first round performance: “Perhaps we’re seeing the beginning of all of the chaos of golf being eliminated; an order being restored if Tiger can keep up his form.”

Kostis on playing too aggressively at Whistling Straits: “Well that’s the cardinal sin on this golf course. You have to take your medicine, you try to get too aggressive with some of these and you just pay a deeper price.”

Lundquist on France’s Gregory Bourdy: “This is too obvious, but it’s (Gregory) Bourdy from Bordeaux.”

Feherty: “Well, he would know his way around the wine cellar.”

Baker-Finch on course designer Pete Dye creating difficult sightlines on the course: “That’s Pete Dye, that’s what he tries to be, visually intimidating. He doesn’t want the players to see all the fare way, he wants to mess with their minds. This is Pete Dye’s best, that’s for sure.”

Feherty on Marc Leishman’s second shot on hole #13: “Would you like French fries or a baked potato with that? Did you see the size of that divot? Nice shot, but a huge clump of Wisconsin came out with that.”

TNT’s Jim Huber interviewed Bubba Watson (-4) following his first round

Watson on if Whistling Straits is an overpowering golf course: “No, I putted really well today and my focus was there.  I stayed with every shot and took my medicine when I had to.  I missed a couple of tee shots but the golf course is not easy.  I just made some putts.”

TNT’s Jim Huber interviewed Tiger Woods (-1) following his first round

Woods on his play in the first round: “I got off to a good start today which was nice and I’m just trying to grind my way along.  I dropped a few shots, but overall I posted under par.”

Woods on if his work leading up to the PGA Championship paid off after the first round: “I thought I hit the ball pretty good.  It felt like I had control of the ball most of the day, especially with my trajectory which was nice.  I haven’t had that in a while so it felt good to have that.”

Woods on what he needs to improve with his game: “I just need to continue to improve every day.  I need to be a little bit more solidified and today I felt like I had good speed on the greens.  If anything, I was leaving putts a little bit short.  They were a little bit slower than what I was seeing.  I just have to make that adjustment.”

McCord on Seung-yul Noh: “This guy can really hit.  He has a beautiful golf swing and he hits it a mile, way up in the air.  He looks really good to me.”

Feherty on Tiger Woods: “When you think of last week (at the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational) when (Woods) played like a 12-handicap, he manages to raise his game for the major championships.”

TNT’s Jim Huber interviewed Charles Howell III (-4) following his first round

Howell on playing Whistling Straits: “I played here in 2004 and I like (the course).  It has a links (type course) look to it but it definitely played like an American course today.”

Feherty on players stepping up their games while Tiger Woods has struggled recently: “One thing with Tiger (Woods) not having played well by his own standards for the last year, (it) has given us an idea of just how good the rest of the field is.  Players who have been overshadowed for so long (were able to come to the forefront).  You have to take into consideration just how good Woods is in his ability to have beaten these players for so long.”

Feherty on Nick Watney: “What a great attitude Nick Watney has.  He’s going to be a very good player for a very long time.”

Feherty on his observations of the first round: “It’s been an interesting day with the three hour delay.  They started and then stopped (play).  It was ideal to start, the wind was starting up and the course was starting to dry out.  So the scoring really hasn’t been that good.  A four under par (-4) leads and no one has been able to get to five under (-5).  We’ve got Ernie Els out there in fine form.  We’ve got (Phil) Mickelson just hanging on who’s really made some tremendous ups-and-downs and a bunch of young players who have played very well.”
