Quite a bit of "giddy-up" from Tiger after he nailed that putt on #1.

Quite the contrast from someone who grimaced after hitting a poor tee shot.

----

Rory shoots a +8, 79

I've heard it so many times in the lead up to this - so he was only 18 shots worse than his best round at Royal Portrush,
All he hast to do is tie that tomorrow and hes right back in this thing.

Players play, tough players win!

Looks like Tiger and Rory will be paired up together on Sunday.

Surely Rory will stick around to hang out with his family over the weekend, rather than flying back to Florida with Tiger?

The way Tiger picked up the ball from the cup on 8 makes me think the back may be a little bit sore. That was a “cautious” pick up. Same way I pick it up when my back is sore.

He hasn't played in forever. For the year he's 54th in accuracy and 69th in strokes gained off the tee so there are plenty worse than him.

Yes, and most of them are posting on here, and for sure me. Give the old guy a break. 😆

How did Duval get qualified? He should just retire

As a past champion he is exempt until he turns 60 (or is it 65???).

My dream pairing of Rory and Tiger on the weekend is down the toilet.

Based on his player profile with the PGA Tour site, it appears the last cut he actually made was The Open in 2015 at St. Andrews.

Can't really blame the guy for hoping to rekindle some of that magic, but I'd be surprised if he plays again.

It really seems like tiger always, ALWAYS, gets the bad weather draw

That and it seems like he has to play the course uphill both way’s. LOL

    • 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.
