How was Tiger's round?....missed it and DVR decided to record my wife's Project Runway marathon instead. It looks like it was pretty windy out there, but how did he putt.

Not great, not bad. He made a few over 12 feet, which is a good sign, but he missed a few under ten feet. His driving was good, his approaches were off, and his short game was erratic. But it's all part of his strategy to get an early tee time, so he misses the worst of the wind. He's moved up the leaderboard quite a few spots since he completed his round.

With Mahan, Rose, and Woods all playing well, I've got to give, oh I don't know, maybe 5% credit to Foley.

He won Doral six times. In March. In the wind. That's a ridiculous statement.

` Thanks! Yeah its looking pretty tough out there right now. If these guys just stay where they are or even come back a bit, he's got a chance. If he shoots 64 in the morn and puts his name up there near the top, who knows. But I'm not sure Rory is too scared. Especially after that last par save and the shot he just hit into 15. If he takes #1, I don't see him losing it for a long long time! Go Rory!!!

I really like the coverage on tv today. I don't ever remember any sporting event being showed on 2 different networks at the same time. Not that I dislike golf commercials, but keeping up with the leaders and the signature holes at the same time is a neat concept.

It would have made more sense if the Golf Channel feed was streaming online, then you could watch them both at once and you wouldn't have to keep flipping channels.

Does he need an outright win to go to #1, or will runner up suffice?

I believe it is an outright win but I could be wrong

That left the 22-year-old from Northern Ireland could move to No. 4 in the FedExCup standings and become the second-youngest player behind Woods to reach No. 1 in the world this week. He would have to win The Honda Classic to make the move and replace Luke Donald atop the ranking.

I take it Donald isn't playing anywhere this week.

If they do it the way they usually do it, they'll just show recorded coverage at the scheduled time. Of course, this is not a typical weekend. As far as I know, this weekend was the first time they were showing live action on two different networks (Golf Channel was showing the Bear Trap while its big brother NBC was showing regular coverage) for a non-major, so I guess they'll have to show tape delay on both. The new tee times make no sense to me. OK, they're trying to miss the thunderstorms. But the [url=http://tourreport.pgatour.com/2012/03/03/sunday-times-moved-up/]article[/url] that announces the new tee times says they expect the storms at noon, which will be right smack in the middle of the leaders' round. So why not start play at 6:50, like they did Thursday and Friday, instead of 8:30?

Are you literally trying to say Tiger intentionally blew some shots to get an early tee time?

Because if they have a delay, at least the leaders will have gotten holes in, and will thus have less holes to play later when play resumes so they can get things done before it gets dark.

I understand why they moved the tee times up. My question was, why didn't they move them up even more, since they expect the storms at noon? They could have started play nearly two hours earlier than they did, and possibly be finished by noon. They're going to have to show the match on tape delay anyway, so the TV audience isn't a consideration.

      Day 314 - Putting some things together. Better grip/setup, fuller backswing, better finishing position. Filmed some swings, happy with the progress.

      Day 206 (24 Nov 24)  - An easy session with the 54deg wedge and hard foam balls / one simple goal - distance control thru backswing length while not decelerating.  Had a playing partner comment they noticed me decelerating on a couple short wedge shots in last round.  Hit from distances from close to 40yds down to 20.

      Best Shot of the Week

      By Clemsonfan ·

      Musgrove Mill hole #15 was converted to a par 3 after Hurricane Helene. Today, I had 145 from the tee which is a perfect 9-iron for me. I aimed just right of the hole and pulled it a few feet. Clanked off the stick down into the hole and ricocheted out of the hole 13’ away. Drained the putt for a birdie after repairing the hole which was damaged . Not sure if it would have counted as a HIO, but I was pretty excited!

      Day 55 - 2024-11-24 Did five levels of Operation 36 on GSPro (different courses). 🙂 Was -4 from 200 yards (32) intentionally laying up on each hole (i.e. not hitting a 5I or something). Shot… 22, 24, 26 from 25, 50, and 100 yards. I forget my 150-yard score, but obviously it was < 36. Putting was odd… (and I did it with the wedge or a 7I or whatever was in my hand).
