Here's one thing that could limit Tiger's chances this week: nobody's going to lose strokes by three-putting. The greens are too slow and don't have a lot of break in them. You can be aggressive, aim straight at the hole from long distances, and even if your speed AND line are off, you'll still practically have a tap-in. The advantage to leaving yourself below the holes goes away and the disadvantage to playing away from the holes goes away too because even from 50 feet you can judge the speed well enough and the ball stops quickly near the hole.

Bogey/Double. So much for that.

Maybe Foley shouldn't have spent time with Tiger on the range.

2 over after 3.

Sean, go home.

Brandt dropped his first shot of the tournament. Also, loving the live shot tracker thing. I remember they did that two years ago, 17 at St. Andrews. (I'm sure they did it last year, but none of the holes stand out.) They've got it at a few holes now.

    • Day 5- Slow,  short swings with short practice club. 
    • Lemme guess….’ We don’t want any confrontation so nobody says anything.’ Sheesh…..Call him out and fix the problem.
    • Went to a PING fitting day today. Going to be ordering a G430 Max 3w with a 75g x-stiff shaft at 5w length and a 3h. I forget what my fitter did with the shaft on that but she told me she’s going to email the club the specs of everything. The 3w combination we found pretty quickly. As for the hybrid, we tried a bunch of different head and shaft combinations for that distance with mixed results. Then she handed me the 3h and I took three swings with it and knew it was the one.
    • Yeah, this isn't sandbagging. It's outright cheating. He should be banned.
    • That’s quite a generalization. It’s clear that you don’t like water but there are plenty of us that drink it just fine. My daily intake is usually about 20oz of black coffee, 16oz of soda, 8oz of milk mixed into a protein shake, and anywhere between 30-60oz of water. It doesn’t even need to be cold and I kind of prefer it closer to room temperature than cold. I quite like the taste of tap water, with sole exception being the tap water at Magic Kingdom (it’s terrible). I can’t stand when people bring me tap water with a lemon wedge in it. I didn’t ask for lemon in my water.
