In the end, sort of a blah round for Tiger. Some nice shots, some bad shots, but it started (and ended) on good notes. Looked pretty solid on the shorter putts, and had a couple of great long putts that easily dropped in an alternate universe. Tee shots still looking dicey... Didn't lose his cool, though. Even eked out the par after his tee shot in the drink (and the ensuing helicopter toss).

His duffed chip from the nasty stuff off the green on (17? last par 3) had me thinking choke, except that Yang did worse from what looked like the same lie 5 feet away. I'm thinking that stuff was nastier than it looked (and it looked pretty bad!)

The Sergio business was funny in a sad way.

Anyway, best round Tiger's had in a couple tournaments. He's certainly off to a good enough start to have a shot.

In the bag:
FT-iQ 10° driver, FT 21° neutral 3H
T-Zoid Forged 15° 3W, MX-23 4-PW
Harmonized 52° GW, Tom Watson 56° SW, X-Forged Vintage 60° LW
White Hot XG #1 Putter, 33"

Sergio's caddie is a bigger man than I....if he pulled a stunt like that, I'd take him behind the clubhouse and punch him square in the gut to teach him a lesson...just sayin

If I made what Sergio's caddie makes, and my boss did that on occasion, I can't say I'd be punching him.

I dunno. I didn't see it, but they're taping and archiving lots. I'm just picturing Sergio being Sergio. I think he threw the club at his caddy's feet.

From the angle they had of Sergio, it looked like he was in the process on murdering someone in the bunker. It reminded me of one of those "Caught on Tape" beatings. lol He went back for a few more whacks and then stumbled back in. Then he whipped the club pretty hard. What a hoser!

I was watching the the Directv feed of Tiger, Yang, Vijay and then Phil, Louis, Graeme. It was kindof neat just following a group like that and not jumping all over the place. It makes you feel more into it than the other coverage. Phil needs to slow down and get a groove thing going like Louie. He keeps backing away from the ball and hits them bad. You can't keep hitting those saves time and time again. McDowell looks like he'd be a cool cat to hang with just by his actions.

I love to see either Woods, Rory, or Bubba take this one.

On a side note; if anyone finds that video of Sergio losing it in that bunker, please post:) lol

None of the big names played themselves out of the tournament during the first day, which certainly pleases the monied interests.

The leaderboard has a very eclectic look to it. I hope it stays that way.

Haha... That made me laugh. He hits his shot and then starts to walk out of the bunker, turns, goes back, and then throws a fit. He caddy goes in after he's done probably thinking "this is going to a doosy to rake smooth".

If I was Sergio I'd be very embarrased today.But it obviously doesn't bother him that much, 'cause he keeps doing it.The shoe - throwing incident, spitting in the cup, and now this.Personally wouldn't mind if he made his 2 month break from Golf permanent.

    • Day 29 (9 Dec 25) - PW dink and rolls as well as low flighted chips.  Dink and rolls - set up with club head toe down/heel up to promote low flight, plenty of roll out.  Low flighted pitches - club flat on the ground to get ball up a Rick more and check more.   No more than 10yds total distance - focus on getting the ball to finish near (within 10’ dia circle) the target “pin”…
    • Never play with him again, and make sure every time you see him (especially when he's with other people) bring it up as a joke. Everyone will laugh but him. If he wants to ruin his own reputation, let him. 
    • Only ever used ShipSticks and never had a problem. It's really nice because you can ship to anywhere not just courses.  No matter what you use, I take the extra care of the clubs and wrap them in something before putting them in your bag and into the shipping box.   
    • Practicing my putting after work. I put five balls on the carpet and a mug on the other side. Once I make 3 out of 5 I can stop. If I leave any short or they go to far and fall off the rug, I restart.  Focusing on speed and hitting my mark 3 inches in front of me. Trying to gain consistency and discipline in all aspects of my putting game.
