It's easier to heckle than to congratulate.

Congrats to Michael...
I like Michael haugen...
He has "fire in his belly"..and is fun to watch!
The last game match is a "keeper"...
The kind of match you like to watch again.

I was rooting for Michael Haugan all the way. I think Barnes is really stuck on himself. I went to a tournament last year to watch the pros and Barnes was acting like he was so much better than everyone else it made me sick.
    It's kind of funny how everyone always talks about how good he is and look at all the times he has been in the position to win and somehow finds a way to lose. I know he has a lot of talent and makes a lot of shows but he also screws up a lot when the pressure is on.
   
   Just my opinion.


just what I was saying. 9 words in total for Haugen. 7 lines and 2 paragraphs of criticism for Barnes.

Barnes may have given away the store, but if Haugen didn't throw 5 or 6 in a row, he would not have won!!!!

Haugen deserves all the congrats in the world. He was down, but never got down on himself, never quit, and kept a great attitude. When the match came back to him, he stepped up and took it.

Earlier this week was the 25th anniversary of the death of the great football coach Paul "Bear" Bryant, and his most famous quote applies to Haugen's performance today: "If you believe in yourself, and have dedication and pride, and never quit, you'll be a winner. The price of victory is high, but so are the rewards."

I was kind of saddened to see him using that strong ball and not moving like Pederson suggested. Then he went to weaker balls. I sure thought after that 2nd wide open split that he was "dead meat". It was a sad finish to the match, but Michael performed excellently when he had to do it.

Kudos to Mr. Haugen!!!

Actually, he is 2nd behind WRW in the new points system.

Haugen kept it together, struck when he needed it. Congrats to himbut Barnes still gagged.;D

I don't care who wins on tour, I have no favorites, as long as barns get humiliated I am happy. Chris was a jerk in college and it looks like things haven't changed. Great physical talent wasted(reminds me alot of PDW). Both should have 10 times the victories they do. What I am trying to say is I did not care for Barns in college and he has done nothing since to make me come around. Many don't now this about Chris is he was #3 in the line up on his college team because he could not handle pressure situation.

haugen is having one hell of a season.  He is 8th in points.
Consider that he also gets zero points for winning the TOC.
If this tournament got double points like the other majors he'd be in the top 5!

Dont get me wrong, I dont dislike the guy, he seems nice enough, but watching him on TV just does nothing for me, I feel like I'm watching a senior event...
