He's gonna have to "golf his ball" to have a chance at six straight...

UPDATE: Tiger got it down to one-down, but now it's back to three down with eleven to play. Not looking good...

I am glad to see that Mike Weir is 3 up on Adam Scott after 31 holes, that would be a big win for Mike...

What is the qualification process for this tournament?

Monty said it would be nice to have one of the Europeans beat Tiger this week to give them more confidence going into next week (like they need it). However, it looks like Monty hired a henchman by the name of Shaun Micheel to do the dirty work for him.

Tiger's probably excited and motivated to play this week, but something tells me he will be a little "extra" motivated to play next week in the Ryder Cup.

I wanted to see Luke Donald/Tiger Woods in the second round too. Get it together Eldrick.


Edit #1: I just checked out the leaderboard for the first time. Is any favorite winning his match? Other than Cambo and Donald, I would say the underdog has won or is winning all matches. It's crazy.

Paul Casey shattered Retief Goosen, and Robert Karlsson is whippin ol' Jim's rear end with less than nine to play.

The United States might not score a point at the K Club next week now that I think about it.


Edit #2: Micheel defeated Woods 4 & 3.

It probably doesn't mean a whole lot that Tiger lost, but it certainly isn't the greatest news possible. I'm sure the media will get a kick out of it though and use it to their full advantage.

I see this as a "Take one for the Team" strategy. See Tiger loses to Micheel to boost Micheels confidence. Furyuk loses to give the Euros a false sense of "see the Americans will choke" feeling. It's a great ploy....I hope.....

Looks like ol' Lehman shoulda picked Micheel for a captain's pick. Really, it might not have been that bad of a pick. Of course, hindsight is 20\20.

    • Sad tale.  Both the A's and Raiders.  IMO, cities shouldn't be building stadiums for MLB/NFL teams.  But that's the world we live in.   DAY 3:  30-min range session with irons and wedges.  Working on follow thru -- no hooks! 🙂
    • Backswing: Body is responsible for taking the club around. Arms are responsible for making the club go up.  Downswing: The process is reversed. Weight Forward So, your arms need to do stuff. Set up to the ball. Do not raise your arms at all. Rotate your body as you would in the swing. You will notice your hands stay down near your right hip. So, how does the club get up? Your arms raise it up. You can't take your arms out of the swing. What you are describing might be more of a feel, but it also might not be correct.
    • It depends on what you mean by "while the core remains still" I wouldn't consider his core "remaining still" here, DJ's abs, belly button, and belt buckle have rotated almost 90 degrees by the top of the backswing. Those components of his core then have to rotate/uncoil on the downswing. Far from remaining still IMO.
    • It’s going to change but your basic setup feel should be about the same. Your body kind of adjusts to length and lie angle of the club. You’ll want to pay attention more to ball position as you change clubs more than how bent over you are. I understood what you meant from what your wrote.
    • Oh I probably was thinking the wrong thing or the wrong way when I typed the golf swing was more of a body swing (in my mind).  The in my mind part probably should have said in my opinion or based on what I have read.  Just meant the body needs to be involved more than the hands and swinging the arms while the core remains still.
