It was one of the loudest roars I've heard in all my years at the Memorial here when he eagled 11 and stuck a foot away on 18. absolutely amazing and the place was electric.

pezgolf was right when he said the memorial wasnt a major... I mean usually majors are setup damn tuff, but when the greens at memorial were 14.5 on the stemp and the fairways are thinner than augusta haha yup this tourny was in a class of its own I would say more than a major but I dont want to cause to much contro over that!!

Oh ya I forgot to mention that JACK actually moved down to 18 to watch Tiger finish out and then greets him after he birdies on the edge of the fringe.... well that just tells you that the bear will shake the hands of nobodys huh (sarcasism)!!! I guess its the guys that actually appriciate this game that actually has any understanding of what true talent is!! PEz your retarded!!

A great round is a great round no matter who else is playing. Tiger's "A" game is just better than anybody else's "A" game. When he plays the "A" game he wins, irrespective of who else is playing. Muirfield is as tough as Bethpage, and it will be an interesting Open if Tiger is on as many fairways as he was today.

I'll eat my words about tiger not being back to his normal tiger self, amazing last 18 holes. wow.

The Memorial is easily one of the top tourneys of the year...it's Jack's event played on one the greatest courses in America.

To say it isn't really just proves you don't know much about the tour.

As for Tiger, a virtuoso performance today. Hit every fairway, drained a long birdie on 2, the chip in on 11, then the surgeon-like birdie, birdie finish to shoot 65 to win by one. Doesn't get much better than that.

He's starting to get his timing down and is making the putts he is supposed to make. He seemed to be much smoother in his tempo with the driver this week. He really did a great job at avoided lashing at it. Combined with the extra loft on the driver and he was nearly perfect.

If he keeps that up, he's going to be really tough to beat in NY. I just can't see anybody else being able to hang with him if his approaches are from the fairway every hole.

Watching Tiger's play on the last 2 holes today, I could surely say that he is back. Golf is not player vs. player(s). More likely, player vs. course/nature. Most of players struggled today but Tiger. He mastered the course better than anyone else today. That's all.
Can he do this again in US Open? If he drives as good as today, he will. But.. I will be cheering for Phil. :)

Tiger was awesome, but Furyk was pretty darn good too, finishing just 1 6-foot missed putt back and looking like he'll be a contender for the US Open.

Furyk is an amazing player. He doesnt make it look the best but he gets it done and gets the ball in the hole. I dont know if he will be a contender at Bethpage because he doesnt hit the ball that far. He averages 275 currently

and I think having more distance is a huge help there. Just a personal opinion what do you guys think?

I think one of the things that people overlooked - largely because Tiger never really let on to it - is that Tiger is just now, just recently, able to hit balls on off-days with the quantity he likes, hit balls after rounds in the quantity he likes, and is no longer icing his knee down after playing a round.

In his words, his "ball count is up." Until just recently, he wasn't hitting very many balls or able to practice quite as much.

Great win for tiger. But if he doesnt win at the Open, all of the birds will just go back to questioning if there is something wrong with him. Its his curse, i suppose. He has to win every single time he plays or it seems like he lets alot of people down.

It was really cool seeing intensity in Jim's eyes - especially seeing him go after those sunday par 3 sucker pin locations. I think he'll have a good run at a major this year, just not at the US Open I think.

As for Tiger, simply amazing. Stayed up til 1AM last night watching my DVR. I guess I won't be jumping the gun and getting a 9.5* or less driver.

A HOLLOW VICTORY. NO Phil; very few Euros. He beat the old guys like Furyk, who is washed up, and the no-names. Wait until Bethpage, when the BIG BOYS are in town, and then if he wins, start talking THEN, and not now.

You're joking, right? Sarcasm? Furyk is washed up but he now has 130 Top 10 finishes in his career. That's not washed up. Secondly, what Euros? Which ones have ever stared Tiger down? Paul Casey? Sergio? Paddy?

As far as the field, there were fourteen guys in the field that have won AT LEAST ONE MAJOR. Let's see that list of no names: Camilo Villegas Geoff Ogilvy Vijay Singh Davis Love III Sean O'Hair Adam Scott Justin Rose JB Holmes Paddy Harrington Paul Casey Zach Johnson Ernie Els Ian Poulter Ben Curtis Kenny Perry Hunter Mahan Luke Donald Mike Weir Nick Watney Stuart Cink Jim Furyk You make it seem like Tiger won the Corning Classic.

Congrats, Tiger! I hope this final round gets some replay action this week - I'd love to see it. Yesterday night when I finally got around to checking the final score, I was initially surprised, then just shook my head in awe of this man.

As others have said, he just gets it done time and time again when it really really counts. Mind-boggling, and awesome to see.

    • I speak for myself. If I inventory my swing thoughts, swing tempo, optimum muscle tension and rehearse a swing before I take my address, then I pull the trigger reasonably quickly with usually acceptable results. Like a proper program download before deploying it. If I don't bother to by forgetting or just not caring, I am inclined to look for my cues while hovering over the ball after taking the address, while tension builds up and then I fire with a half ass program that is still buffering. I guess that's no better than rolling a dice. In other words, a good pre-shot routine does wonders. I am not advising folks to take 13 practice swings while the flowers wilt waiting for something to happen, but one or maybe two are reasonable and good for you. I am certain hitting half ass shitty shots and making double bogey takes longer than making a par.  My desire this year is to just that as I have not developed a habit taking a practice swing and as a result have tendency to freeze over the ball after address, that is counter productive for both time and result. I think that is what @saevel25 is talking about in the OP.

    • I think there's a difference between taking time over the ball and taking time to play a shot, at least IMO. One thing I've noticed in a few guys I play with who take a long time over the ball to pull the trigger, is that their backswing is really fast and I think it makes it harder to have a smooth rhythmic down swing. It's almost like they take so long to swing that when they do they speed to catch up. Doesn't lead to good golf IMO.

    • As long as it's from a reputable seller it should be just fine. Just make sure the picture of the weight looks the right shaped weight for that specific driver head. You can even weigh it yourself when you get it if you want to be extra sure. Personally I don't consider $15 for something that can greatly change your impact and delivery characteristics to be "not cheap" but that's just my opinion. Especially since you know it's bringing it closer to what you were fit into and you're already saving a bunch of money by going the used/prior model year route too.
