2013 WGC-Cadillac Championship at Doral Discussion Thread - Page 9

I think its silly that they actually need to bother identifying it when its really obvious from TV that it didn't come out.  Couldn't Roger Maltbie just tell them, "yup, its up there" and that qualify?

nice lag putt by McD

Tiger roar!!!

24 birdies in 3 days. Damn good job!

EL FREAKING TIGRE!!!

I heard that...he's ridiculous sometimes...

I know it's a WGC event, but that leaderboard is awesome heading into the final day.

Listening to Miller about Tiger only hitting cuts is infuriating. For one, he's a professional golfer: he knows how to hit a draw. Two, he's Tiger freaking Woods! I think he knows what he's doing. 

 

I like your understated style of description...

 

but, yes

 

(best putt of the tournament)

 

TIGER!!!!!

Uh oh. Colin007 finally snapped and kidnapped Fourputt!

Lol lol!! He's one of my minions....

Ah crap. I need some HELP!

Just got informed by the little lady that I'm going to the in laws for dinner tomorrow. These in laws, heathens really, don't have the golf channel (I know, I know) so I need to know when NBC coverage takes over so I can try to plan ( manipulate) things so I can catch the finish of this.

I'm thinking of faking an illness, maybe start power slamming' scotch right now so I can plead hangover tomorrow.

Go with "migraine"...no symptoms that can't be faked.

I considered that but raging hangover is more in keeping with my medical history. Plus I've already laid down some pretty convincing ground work this evening.

Just don't try to fake a fever! ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PnsPpAGB9MU

I say we try a truth experiment.  And please, have a camera ready so we can see the look on her face. 

 

Regarding the tournament, I don't think there is any bigger indication of the "old Tiger" being back than the way he's putting so much better than the field.  How many good putters did we see miss one or several "easy" putts under 8 feet today for birdie and par?  Tiger seemed to miss none.  He really is amazing, like none other, when he's executing like this.

I missed that bit - what did Miller say exactly?  Later in the day, on TGC, someone (Chambliss?) said that T. was basically only hitting cuts (no draws) and that this is a big part of his current high level of confidence.   He has almost completely eliminated the miss to the left (is this true?) and so can deal with certain dangerous situations better than anyone.  He certainly wasn't implying that Tiger is incapable of hitting a draw, not to me anyway.  Was Miller implying this in your view?

 

It is clear that Tiger now expects to make putts in the 15-25 ft range, I mean genuinely so.  He is disappointed when he misses (usually not by much) in a way that indicates his confidence.  I haven't seen this in him since the glory days.
