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...

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.

      Day 11, 1/11/26.  Today was putting, along about 6' of carpet, with coins on the ground to keep me cognizant of what I'm doing.  I think this is the at-home drill from LSW. (Ugh, missed two of the last four days -- 1/10 and 1/8)

      Mizuno Jpx One Driver & Fairway Woods

      I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
