2013 WGC-Cadillac Championship at Doral Discussion Thread - Page 13

Homestate boy Stricker is a good dude. I like the way he brought his wife out down in Florida... pretty cool. Lord knows she probably needed to get the hell outa here. Whatever he said sure helped Tiger. I'm sure it wasn't the first time nor the last. They're always paired together @ Ryder and President Cups. They talk, i'm sure.

Two Thoughts:

Tiger is going to start blowing people's minds again...his short iron play was amazing!  

Johnny Miller may need a pacemaker before this golf season is over.

The Keegan Bradley, Phil Mickelson relationship is a good example of that.  Mind you, their relationship is more of a mentorship but there is no doubt Keegan's game has benefited from Phil's help.

If he wins at Bay Hill he'll be #1 in the OWGR.

One of the greatest things about golf is that most players respect and like each other.  That doesn't mean that they won't do everything they can (within the rules) to beat you.

lol, I have to admit, that's funny.

Interesting snippet I saw. Brian Gay had 93 putts during the event, for an average 23-1/4 putts per round. Bloody hell!

And finished T35.  18 shots back.   Shows just how misleading putts per round can be....!
