Tiger needs to take advantage of 4 through 7. At least pick off a couple birdies. Seems stuck in neutral right now. I'm expecting the lead to be close to -10 by day's end. Someone from the -5 group will likely go low.

Greller probably gave him an extra club both times, thinking that Spieth would mishit it. It's a solid bet, based on his iron play so far this year.

I like that it makes them look a lot more like the rest of us.  Please reference Ian Poulter.

Tiger didn't have a single-bogey for his first 34 holes and then has two in his last 2 of the first 36.

(Yes, I know what he did on the first par-3 yesterday)

DJ's approach at the first hole reminds me of reason one billion why I would be unsuccessful as a touring pro.  To me, a red flag means it's at the front third of the green (roughly), not the middle.  

Reason #1 I would go hungry as a professional golfer is that I've never broken 80, so the flag color thing is kind of low on the list.

He sometimes gets those rounds with 16 pars, but when he shoots +/-2 it's often with a bunch of birdies and bogies. The first to rounds has been a par feast for him.

Lots of good players still within reach.

Wow, Rory is tied for second, just two off the current lead.  I can really see him winning his 5th major.  When he will get the grand slam is more debatable though I just believe it is a question of time

Bets player in the world.  When on form, he's a long way clear of the rest.

Tiger over the first 2 rounds was frustrating.  He did well to not be +10 his game is so bad.  Just don't think he's capable anymore when the courses demand accuracy.

Seems like Tiger was playing the old strategy of being conservative and avoiding bogeys and big numbers. Unfortunately that only works for the usual brutal course where they’re just trying for par. He seemed all suave about hitting to the safe side of the green while Rose and others are throwing darts. Come on Tiger...today was moving day, not ho hum par day!

    • Day 82: 3/18/24 Tried a Stack session but could not certify my warmup. Finished with indoor chips and putting. 
    • Day 96 (18 Mar 24) - Continued work with the Divot Board with the GW and hard foam balls.  Focused on small target/small miss…setup to hit target about 30yds out - success if it hit within 6’ circle of target, fail if outside.  Had decent success averaging about 3 out of 4 (hitting in groups of four).

    • I'm relieved someone finally defined hiking. I was giddy when I saw these new TPI videos a day or so after they dropped. Very easy to understand the problem and solution the way they have presented it. Been working on fixing this for about a year and a half now. It's nice to be able to call it something so communication becomes easy.  I was working on more lateral and up too, but just having someone define it clearly in video form was so helpful for me to continue confidently with what I thought was wrong and how I had to fix it.  My conceptual error here was just trying to rotate like a tour pro but without including the necessary forward pressure/weight shift associated with enough lateral and upward motion of the pelvis.  This video is great too, as is Greg Rose.
    • Day 2.    couple mins of rolling putts end over end.    10 mins of Slow, mirror work, working on starting the downswing and impact wrist positions. Hit a couple balls into the net after.    Then finished with a couple chips to see if I could repeat what I worked on yesterday.
