It's really pretty amazing when you think about it.  They were talking to Ernie about how off his game has been for a year and a half.  Sergio is a mess (still).  Phil had a horrible week.  There are

Suffice to say a windy day gives the other players a chance, but history has proved they'll still be jockeying for positions 2 through 10.

I agree that high GIRs don't necessarily translate to proximity and thus easier putts, but I don't know how many times Bubba actually finds the putting surface on these types of shots to that g

Since he got that "first" win and the monkey off his back, how many tournaments will he win in 2012?

I'll make a bold guess and say he'll win 5 or 6 tournaments in 2012.

I personally kind of liked seeing Tiger choke on Sunday's for a change.  But I do concede he is great for golf.  I just don't want to see him run away from the field like back in the day.  Give me parity with Tiger playing well!

I really like [McDowell], and so do a lot of Americans I think.  I honestly think he may be more popular than Rory among Americans currently.

He's more popular among this American.

It's gonna be awesome.  I'm actually taking those days off of work so that I don't have to be distracted even while watching the online coverage.

And this one as well

Hope Arnie is okay.  I'm not too familiar with this tournament, but I was looking and wondering where he was when the final group was leaving the green.

It's a tradition that he greets the players as they come off 18, much as Byron Nelson did at his tournament. But since this is Tiger's seventh win at Bay Hill, he probably wasn't as disappointed about it as somebody like Bud Cauley would have been.

Yeah, that seemed like a surreal moment.  Anyway, congrats to him.  It kinda sucked that nobody stepped up to challenge the final group, and the back 9 seemed anti-climactic like a lot of Tiger wins do, but the front 9 was pretty entertaining.  Tiger really had his iron shots going and Graeme dropped a couple big bombs to keep it interesting.

Tiger seems like a snake with a lead and the competitors being the prey.  He smothers them with the lead, and just waits for each opportunity to tighten his grip on it as they make mistakes and he makes sure he doesn't.  His execution today was pretty damn good...a lot better than my execution with that metaphor

He played with the lead beautifully. When it got to the point when he knew he could par in & win he stopped firing at the pins & hit the proper shot for the situation. Very Nicklaus-like.

The swing held up, which is huge. And now he now knows he can win again. Watch out.

Most disappointed man today: Davis Love III. Winning Bay Hill jumped Tiger up to third Ryder Cup points, so now Davis has to put some thought into his captain's picks.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      To flog this subject even further, if that's even possible, this article from Golf Monthly just appeared today in one of my news feeds. Written by a golf writer in the UK who I never heard of, he's basically saying that there should be only 3-5 rounds from the most recent 20 that should count towards the average and only competitive rounds should count. He claims the erratic scorers would have less of an advantage than they do now. He makes a lot of references to "club golfers" in the UK being the ones who are mostly dissatisfied. https://share.google/qmZZBEoJvOxHxJGil  In my experience with my league where we have golfers with indexes ranging from 5 to 40, looking at the weekly results from the past two years, I can detect no pattern that would substantiate the claim that the current system gives an unfair advantage to either erratic golfers (aren't we all?) or higher handicappers. Apparently though, at least in the UK, this seems to be "a thing."
