I really don't like Sabbatini.  Too much arrogance not enough game.  Looks like he's playing for 2nd Tiger just birdied 18

Tiger is a douche,

but he is golfing greatness today, birdies on 2 of the last 3 holes.

Gotta' love the golfer, even if you don't like the man.

Nice to see. Good for Tiger. He suffered enough for his past mistakes. I hope this gives him the confidence he needs to get back to his old dominating form. He really played well this week.

Tying Jack at his own Tournament with that crazy flop shot and clutch play down the stretch on a very tough golf course...I couldn't imagine a better situation for his 73rd win.

But man, what happend to Fowler? 84 today, really didn't see that coming.

Oh no, Levin doesn't deserve a penalty today, he hung in there though even after losing his swing.

Looks like iacas timed the closing of the "Tiger vs Phil" thread pretty well. That shot on 16 took balls the size of cantaloupes. Last two groups: Fowler 84 Levin 75 Sabbatini 72 Tiger 67

Tiger is a douche? He was a bad husband and a worse father but really a douche? Golf has benefited more than most will ever know because of him which is why he will be the best the "ever played the game". Calling him a douche is very amateur hour in my mind...

The hole was downwind, and it was pretty strong there because of how open the hole is.

That was the first time I leapt out of my couch since football season was over.  And for once I thought the announcers weren't being hyperbolic when they said we haven't seen emotion out of him like that in several years.  That shot was one of the few that would have been worth the price of admission.

Man, that was just the most exciting finish i've seen in a golf tournament in a long time. Just seeing that hole in at 16, I was sure he had it. But then to throw down the birdie at 18 to seal it, 3 birdies in 4 holes. Just awesome,. and a great week of golf.

Douche, I guess, can be many things.

To me, Tiger's public persona is very guarded and corporate-like, and he dealt with his personal issues in an absurd way. I don't mind saying he has douche-like traits.

As a golfer, I've always stated that by the end of 2012 we'll be able to judge his game.

That shot on 16 sent chills up and down my spine - it was greatness, and I appreciate his golf.

I also hope he gets other aspects of his life together. But his combativeness with the press, only talking with media who praise him, his statement that he would be calmer on the course, that he'd be a better individual -- well, y'all decide.

Congrats to Tiger, the golfer. I admire the golf.

_________

From the Urban Dictionary:


Douche: An individual who has an over-inflated sense of self worth, compounded by a low level of intellegence, behaving ridiculously in front of colleagues with no sense of how moronic he appears.
The low level of intelligence is harsh but Tiger's past behavior and some of his recent behavior appears to fit the definition.

    • Can't brag about a 50 last night but it was the best round of my season (4 rounds of 9 holes) so I am not as upset as I could be.  One thing I am noticed is that I got a little more confident in my long hybrids and I attempted a couple longer shots that typically I would just lay up and those holes were a big part of the lower score.  Not every shot was great but good enough that they helped.  I even shot par on a Par 5 after taking a drop.  On that hole I would usually lay-up to @ 100 yards and often miss the green altogether with my 3rd shot (or worse chunk my approach and put it in the waste area).  Yesterday I went for it from @ 200 yards out with wind in my face and landed in the waste area short of the green.  My drop left @ 40 yards in and I stuck it to 3 feet for my par putt.  If I had laid up I would have avoided the penalty stroke but likely would not have been on the green in regulation and may still have been working for par.  By going for it I gave myself a chance at birdie and still saved par. I do not plan on being crazy aggressive but I think I tend to be too conservative at times so I will "go for it" a little more often going forward. 
    • Day 14 (15 May 24) - Worked with the SW in the backyard, short pitches from 10yds up to 30yds.   Focused on ball placement in stance - ball back, ball forward, ball center.  Afterwards moved to inside the shop to work on putting pace on the rug - putting one way gives about an 8' putt, going the other a 6' before bumping onto the adjacent rug.  Focused there on the line - picking a target point about 18"-24" out and making sure the ball rolls through that point. 
    • When someone is trying to validate their choice, statements concluding with "right" are often the MO.  Too bad he thinks he has to keep defending his decision, just do like guys like DJ and HVIII - take the money, play the tourneys and keep quiet.  
    • I liked Rory talking about keeping it shallow. I think a lot of people imagine steep as really steep. Trackman has a PW attack angle at 5 degrees. Pitch shots you probably want less than 5-degrees.  Here is 5 degrees, the dashed line. It isn't much at all.  People probably need to feel like the club is stupidly shallow if they hit it really steep.  Some good tidbits of information though. 
    • Hey, many thanks in identifying those.
