Well, the media will be flooding the world with talk about who's the best during the Barclay's .  It seems that Tiger and Rory will be paired together, for at least the first 2 rounds of the tournament.  Tiger has committed to playing the event which means

Quote:
barring any serious changes, that commitment means fans won't have to wait until the Ryder Cup to see Woods and Rory McIlroy go head to head, according to PGATour.com . As No. 1 (Woods) and No. 2 (McIlroy) in FedEx Cup standings, the pair will play side-by-side during their first two trips around the Black Course in the tournament's top threesome.

I can only imagine what all talk will be generated from this pairing.  Each reporter will be chomping at the bit to be the first to post a "Tiger's done" headline or a "Rory is better than Tiger" headline.  It should be entertaining.

With that being said, I think it will be a great group to watch.  Dufner could be the third guy in the group.  If Tiger and Rory don't watch out, Dufner might sneak away with the spotlight.

What do you guys think about the pairing?

I expect that Tiger vs Rory will be a big headline in golf for the remainder of the year, at least, and if both keep on as they're currently playing, it will be THE story next year.  I don't really care who ends up on top, but I'd love to see these two battle it out and really separate themselves from the rest of professional golf.  Would make for the most exciting thing to happen in golf since maybe the Tiger slam.

Maybe Rory is just what Tiger needs!

They've played together a few times already this year, and nothing spectacular happened. I don't expect that to change. Afterall in a strokeplay tournament the players don't play against each other, especially not on the first 2 days.

I'd just like to see them re-unite in the last group on Sunday.  THAT is the real match-up.

But then again, what the hell do I know?

Tiger and Rory going into Sunday tied up would be excellent.

That would definitely call for a very early tee-off for me, say 7am since the sun is rising later, followed by lighting the grill with a case of Heineken's for that match.

EDIT: Who am I kidding, that's my plan for Sunday regardless!

I'm always pulling for Tiger or Phil and I'm probably one of the few that root for both of them, with Tiger having an edge with me. I really don't care so much for Rory, but I would love to see how he handles the pressure of playing on Sunday grouped with Tiger. Not just Tiger, but Tiger in contention and on the prowl bringing straight fire.

I'm sure you could get the grill going with a case of Heineken, but don't you think a much better plan would be to drink the Heineken and light the grill with lighter fluid or a chimney starter.

But then again, what the hell do I know?

      Best Shot of the Week

      By saevel25 ·

      I hit a bad tee shot on hole 7, but made a stupid recovery.  There was the easy punch out into the fairway and have about 150 in. Then there was to hit a low overdraw that stayed in this alley of trees that could run the ball up near the green. I was 185 yards into the green. I took my 5 iron and laced a low draw to about 15 yards short of the green. Off a pretty tight light as well. I was really proud of this shot. The ball didn't get more than 15-Ft off the ground for about 160 yards.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 ·

      Trying to describe the swings tonight in comparison to the better swigs on the range.  1. Not hanging out on the trail side as long as I need. Even though it was a slight push cut, the best struck ball was the 7 iron on hole 9. nGIR from 185 yards, like 8 yards off center of green from 185 yards, so like a 4% leave, not too shabby. Took me long enough to exaggerate this feel. 🙄 I finally was able to get an up and down for par. Short game feels average, but I can't buy a putt right now. I am hitting decent putts. Good weight. Just nothing going in outside of 5-FT.  2. Downswings were not the good kind where I get separation with the hands from my body. It was a lot of dipping the body and keeping elbow bend. When I hit a lot of big pushes, I know this is happening. It tends to be the pattern, especially when I struggle to turn good. Things just dip way to the inside. Just struggled with this tonight. I think it was probably because I didn't get the pause feel correct.  3. Wedges were really good. SW, GW, and PW are the best clubs right now to feel a good swing. I am just able to really feel the club stop short of A4, pause it, and then rip it. I had 138 yards shot into a par 3, and I took my PW. I felt like I kept the swing at like A2.5, and just crushed it to 138 yards. Like, ball landed 4-FT right of the pin, then spun back 25-FT off the green. Kind of a stupid green, like 5% slope back to front.  Current good feels.  1. Swing length to A3.  2. Gain separation between my body and hands in the downswing.  3. Somehow add turning into this? This really my biggest struggle. There are three outcomes right now. First, I turn and don't get my hands down well. Second, I get my hands down and it feels like I do not turn at all. Third, I sync up both and crush the ball.
