2012 AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro Am Discussion Thread

Phil turns in 31 and Tiger at 38. Never saw that coming.

[Zeph]

Someone seems to have run away with Tiger's swing. He's dropping the club on the follow through more often than not at this point.

[zipazoid]

Yeah I'd have to agree re Tiger...

...tho he won in 2000 being 7 back with 7 to play.

It's up to Phil now.

[iacas]

For awhile now it seems to just get worse as the week goes on. Great after practicing for a day or two on Thursday. Okay Friday. So so on Saturday. Meh on Sunday.

But today his putting is his worst factor right now.

Dropped the club (driver) again on 10. Phil's tournament to lose. Tiger's already lost it.

Yeah, he's still looking at several more months before he's comfortable with his new swing under Sunday pressure. But I still say his first win will be at Doral, and he's my favorite for the Masters.

[Shindig]

Tiger just made a big par save at #10 to avoid a fourth consecutive bogey. Still... Tiger has the contact information for plenty of celebrities, and needs to check his phone to see if he can call Kenny Loggins at this point.

Tiger just came back form the dead! Holed out a bunker shot on 12 for bird. And Phil has a 25-footer for par.

Which he just jarred! Great stuff.

That chip-in seems to have given Tiger a bit of an edge, but Mickelson draining that par putt was equally as big. Though I lean towards begin a Tiger fan, and I know he's losing, there's not but better than watching Tiger and Phil paired together on Sunday, each gunning for a win.

[TourSpoon]

Oh yeah. Classic!

This is quality Sunday afternoon TV golf. No need to leave the couch for a while today. Still just enough holes to keep it interesting.

[Zwick]

I had to leav between holes 7 and 12, I'm quite shocked about TW. The last thing I saw was his tee shot on 7, and I thought he has a great chance for birdie...

The leaderboard is still packed. Would be cool to see Wi coming back after that start.

[Zeph]

Clutch putt by Phil. I don't think Tiger will manage to muster a run at the end of the round. It was a good bunker shot, but his game has been sloppy today. And now he's sitting in a divot. Charlie has played pretty well after his poor start. He's hitting fairways and greens, but missing the putts. Could easily be at -14.

Don't feel bad. Due to TGC going off the air at 230p & the stooooopid basketball game that wasn't over til 320p, we missed holes 7 & 8. CBS picked up with their approaches to 9.

[jamo]

After Tiger's ball comes to rest in a divot, how long until Peter Kostis rallies against hitting out of divots again?

[Zwick]

I would have broken my wrists swinging out of that divot

[poser]

Phil can't miss and tiger is playing like his am partners

[Mr. Desmond]

Complete meltdown by Tiger.

+3 so far on a course he had burned up in the past.

Now he is embarrassed and fuming.

Wonder what changes he will make?

Actually I think Romo might be beating him. And that's why I love Phil. He can look like he doesn't have a clue one week, and the next week he looks like the greatest golfer ever. Tiger still might get a top ten out of this, which is all I was predicting at the beginning of the week (I admit he got my hopes up for a better finish as he played the first three rounds). And the other thing he can take from this is that Phil is almost 41 with incurable arthritis and is still playing great, so at 36 Tiger has plenty of time to figure it out.
