2012 WGC Cadillac - TPC Blue Monster at Doral Discussion Thread

[jhwmusic]

Casey aced the par-3 15th. They had a shiny new Cadillac on the tee, and Casey's caddie went nuts, thinking that he had just won it (the pros typically give the car to their caddies). He was laughing like a maniac in a slasher movie, running in place about 90 miles an hour, until Casey told him that you got a Cadillac for an ace on 13, not 15. The air went out of him like the Hindenburg.

ha ha! That's awesome...I just started watching the coverage but have it on DVR. I have to find this. ...and Sergio's Tin Cup impression. A lot of embarrassing moments going in this morning!

They just showed Casey's caddy as the Shot of the Day..............

Bubba is choking hard on 3.

Bummer for Bubba.

Awesome putt for bogey though ... and Rose with the birdy.

Sergio Tin Cup's it with a plus 8 on one hole and he cards a 76.  Stud.

That gakking sound you're hearing is Bubba....

Very impressive save for Rory with a 155 yard fairway bunker shot, and then two putting from 105 feet!

Bubba is screwing up.

Depressing to watch him self destruct.

Oh well ... GO RORY!!!!!!!

The fact that he shot 76 is absolutely amazing...he was 11 over for 3 holes and -7 over the other 15. That is insane and truly impressive that he kept it together after going eagle, par, +8 to start the day. Bubba is melting down big time...another one in the water. :~(

[zipazoid]

Johnny Miller just said in 25 years he's never seen anyone hit it in that water left of 5. Bubba's toast. Too many good players too close.

[jhwmusic]

Bubba is getting really testy...his caddie seriously needs get him to relax a bit. Did you see him just yell at that guy to stop moving and then just step in and hit his shot without calming down? Not a good sign! He is definitely thinking about the outcome instead of the process of just hitting shots. You can tell he is thinking "I'm blowing it"

[TourSpoon]

Bubba's head must be spinning. They said he won't go to a Dr. or a swing coach because he is afraid what they might say. His swing is so unique. It has more moving parts than a Swiss watch.

[jhwmusic]

And then he hits the putt for bogey. He should tee off with his putter

[jhwmusic]

Yeah, bubba has the kind of swing that if he went to a swing coach, he would be off the tour as soon as his exemption ran out. He would probably be lucky to break 80...he just needs to stay with what got him there. His crazy swing is the reason he can hit all those big bending shots.

[TourSpoon]

Not a good sign, but that is how he normally plays. One second he is instructing the gallery and the next second he is hitting the ball. If you are following on the course you better pay attention because he just pulls the trigger when you don't expect it.

[zipazoid]

You have to do some real convincing with me to believe that Bubba has the kind of swing - and game - that can hold up under pressure. Goofiest footwork I've ever seen from a pro. Sure he can bomb it & reduce a lot of courses down to punch-wedge second shots, but if that driver gets crooked - like it is right now - he can't win.
