After Dustin just bombed a driver, Adam Scott grabbed the driver and started checking it out. Taylor Made must be salivating right now. :-P

Tiger's putter looked very good today.  Hopefully he can take advantage of his morning tee time tomorrow.

Side note - Tiger flew past some greens today. We all know how hard it is to find your exact distances again after time away from playing so I don't know if that's just rust OR caddie error?

He said afterwards that he was hitting it flush, he just wasn't controlling his distance very well. IIRC he didn't give a reason.

He said it was because he hadn't played out there in a while. Could take some time getting used to the distances on a course in a different part of the country.

this was the only portion of his game that he was "allowed" to work on during his time off. would imagine that has something to do with it.

He was smacking his driver a long way too ( avg 315y, T-5th ). His misses were only mild off the tee compared to what we've seen earlier in the year

tiger was hitting his irons just a little too far, I think this happens to a lot of people when they jump back into competition...I know it happened to me recently.  I think there is just a hint of adrenaline in a competitive situation and you have to adjust to it.  Some of his best shots sailed over the green and put him in some bad spots so all in all a very successful round to say the least.

I'm excited to see what happens the next few days, he was like his old self out there today.

I agree, but I also think not having Williams helping him with club selection was a factor.

why didn't anyone blame Williams when Tiger missed the green before? Tiger can't possibly miss a green! seriously, though, i think caddies have this whole "this is how far away you are from the hole" thing down pretty well. he's only been swinging a club for a few weeks. Foley nor Bell nor Tiger himself probably knows how far he's consistently hitting a club.

edit: my concern would've been Williams green reading abilities. for today at least, it seemed like Tiger was fine in that regard. i think there are drawbacks to letting Williams go, but club selection/distances aren't, especially at a point when Tiger is going through swing changes and just now getting the hang of the changes (at least that's what Tiger is saying).

I really do not think these Pros need a caddy to tell them which club to hit and how far to hit it,  both caddy and golfer are present when the notes are jotted down during practice so I am sure all the caddy is doing is refreshing the golfer memory.

While most pro's probably don't need caddies, you often see them consulting with their caddie about club selection.  Good caddies know how to read their pro and probably track and remember their distances better than the pro does.  I'm not saying that Tiger hit every green with Williams, just was throwing out there that Williams might have provided better input on which club to hit given his years with Tiger.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
