Doubt it. But it's an exciting leaderboard at the moment.

Tiger just shot himself down, literally. Pulled it way left into the water and went down for the count, grimacing.

Yes. Lighten up. I found it funny. Jack would probably mumble "kids these days" and shake his head. And no it isn't. It's the PGA Tour.

Over dramatic reaction. Hits a huge pull hook and plays it off as his injury.

Only thing missing from Tiger's histrionics was a team of soccer medics running out to the fairway with a canvass stretcher. The world doesn't owe you a living bc your back is sore. If you're injured, withdraw. If not, put in a tampon and suck it up.

Or he can't make a good turn but tries in spite of the pain to hit the shot that might win him the tournament and immediately regrets taking the chance. Nearly legendary that he finished one inch out of a playoff in his condition. He winced on a few good shots as well.

He plays Bridgestone irons...

As for his stand up back on his heels type of thing it's because of how tall he is, they sorta explained today why he does it.

Hmmm...He DID "suck it up" and came close to winning the tournament.

I know. Poor Tiger. What bad luck it is being the only golfer on tour with aches, pains, arthritis, etc. I mean, no one has ever played injured before, right? Do you think he needs help with that cross he's bearing?

Yeah, he's probably faking, just like that fake injury when he WD from the Players a couple of years ago. You know, the fake injury that made him miss the next two majors.

Wow you guys are something else. I thought it was pretty cool the way Tiger gutted it out. Some of you claimed Tigers fakes injuries to walk off tournaments hes playing poorly in. Now hes faking today after he had a chance to win? Which is it? You kids cant have it both ways.

Who said any of that? He had an injury, played through it, and came up short. No different than pretty much anybody else would have done.

Yeah, the only difference was the way he reacted - unlike any player I've seen who was playing through an injury. Poor form, and embarrassing to watch. His histrionics are beyond stale.

So other guys dont do it, good for them. Maybe you need to take out the tampon you have on! If its embarrassing for you to watch, I'm sure te PGA won't miss your viewership if you simply turn it off.

GAHH! I was really hoping for a Justin Rose/Adam Scott playoff. That would have been fun. Congrats to Adam though, love his swing, he's been so solid lately.

Lucky for Tiger it was just his back and not his wisdom teeth or he might have had to withdraw.

I agree.  But I was watching the early TGC coverage and I WAS bugged by the failure of Faldo and Lerner to understand that one orange joke is funny, the second is mildly amusing, the third through hundredth are increasingly annoying.

I also wondered how much of it was actually orchestrated by Cobra.  At least they didn't make Blixt wear one of those (stupid looking, IMO) flat brimmed hats.

But then again, what the hell do I know?

    • However, have you ever considered using small summer houses for such setups? They offer a great solution for creating dedicated practice areas, especially for an affluent audience looking to enhance their outdoor living space.
    • I've played Bali Hai, Bear's Best and Painted Desert. I enjoyed Bali Hai the most--course was in great shape, friendly staff and got paired in a great group. Bear's Best greens were very fast, didn't hold the ball well (I normally have enough spin to stop the ball after 1-2 hops).  The sand was different on many holes. Some were even dark sand (recreation of holes from Hawaii). Unfortunately I was single and paired with a local "member" who only played the front 9.  We were stuck behind a slow 4-some who wouldn't let me through even when the local left. Painted Desert was decent, just a bit far from the Strip where we were staying.
    • Wordle 1,035 3/6 ⬜🟨🟨🟩⬜ 🟨🟨🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Just lipped out that Eagle putt, easy tab-in Birdie
    • Day 106 - Worked on chipping/pitching. Focus was feeling the club fall to the ground as my body rotated through. 
    • Honestly, unless there's something about that rough there that makes it abnormally penal or a lost ball likely, this might be the play. I don't know how the mystrategy cone works, but per LSW, you don't use every shot for your shot zones. In that scatter plot, you have no balls in the bunker, and 1 in the penalty area. The median outcome seems to be a 50 yard pitch. Even if you aren't great from 50 yards, you're better off there than in a fairway bunker or the penalty area on the right of the fairway. It could also be a strategy you keep in your back pocket if you need to make up ground. Maybe this is a higher average score with driver, but better chance at a birdie. Maybe you are hitting your driver well and feel comfortable with letting one rip.  I get not wanting to wait and not wanting to endanger people on the tee, but in a tournament, I think I value playing for score more than waiting. I don't value that over hurting people, but you can always yell fore 😆 Only thing I would say is I'm not sure whether that cone is the best representation of the strategy (see my comment above about LSW's shot zones). To me, it looks like a 4 iron where you're aiming closer to the bunker might be the play. You have a lot of shots out to the right and only a few to the left. Obviously, I don't know where you are aiming (and this is a limitation of MyStrategy), but it seems like most of your 4 iron shots are right. You have 2 in the bunker but aiming a bit closer to the bunker won't bring more of your shots into the bunker. It does bring a few away from the penalty area on the right.  This could also depend on how severe the penalties are for missing the green. Do you need to be closer to avoid issues around the green?  It's not a bad strategy to hit 6 iron off the tee, be in the fairway, and have 150ish in. I'm probably overthinking this.
