Sigh. Damn Tiger. I bought salsa and everything. Now I have to watch this cocky ******* Reed run away with it.

Lol, and Tiger isn't a cocky ******? Reed doesn't bother me, to me it's more confidence than cockiness....but I know they run hand and hand.

And obviously I'm a little biased because he's on my fantasy golf team this week :banana:

Hey guys, it's not really necessary (or desirable) at this point to rehash the whole "Tiger cheating...." issue here, again, in this thread.  We had a thread on that, sucked about forty other threads

Does anyone here have experience with back pain? Is putting worse for the back than full shots?

For me, it's worse when putting. When I practice or play a lot I get shooting pains down my left leg, and its the worst when trying to stand over a put. Idk why.

[quote name="Ernest Jones" url="/t/72899/2014-wgc-cadillac-championship-at-doral-discussion-thread/210#post_960561"] Back pain covers a pretty wide range of symptoms and conditions. When my back acts up, full swings actually help as long as a I don't try to swing out of my shoes but putting can be a killer. It may be the complete opposite for someone else though.[/quote]Yeah, "back pain" can mean about 10000 different things. If it's disc stuff (what I have) then you're talking about pinched nerves, and, oh boy, anything - anything - can be painful. Swinging, putting, standing still, breathing ... It all depends. One of the times my back was the most painful, it was "caused" while tying my shoes. So, yeah, nothing is out of the realm.

Reed looking for an easy bogey at #18 to win this event -- smart move. I remember Tiger going 4-iron, 4-iron, PW (and two putts) to beat Quigley a few years ago. I think he nearly nailed the par putt that day, too. [i]Edit[/i]: and now the guys in the booth have said this too. They should hire me for that job! [i]Edit 2[/i]: It was 2007, and against Brett Wetterich, not Brett Quigley. Oops. Thanks for making me look it up Erik!

Tiger truly looked like he felt horrible. Walking off the 18th green.

He did that last year to beat Stricker: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2013_WGC-Cadillac_Championship .

Maybe he did it another time too… Quigley hasn't had status for a few years now has he?

Er... 2007, but I was wrong about Quigley. It was Wetterich. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2007_WGC-CA_Championship At least I got the first name right. That's close, isn't it?

Dunno...but patting yourself on the back like he did in that interview won't win him any fans, that's for sure.

Of course. Right along with Patrick Reed's résumé that he just read to Steve Sands.

You see it as arrogance ... I see it as confidence. To me, arrogance would be somebody who hasn't won 3 times in the last several months, twice this season, and once 90 seconds ago against the strongest field of the season saying stuff like that.

Reed's not going away anytime soon. He's a gamer. I don't think he's going to have the career of a Tiger or Phil, but I do see him being an ATM machine like Zach Johnson and racking up lots of top-10s, with maybe a major or two mixed in there by the time his career is over. I don't know enough about him to say he's arrogant. Will have to hear more interviews and see how he handles this win. I do think he's confident, though, from what I've heard.

What did he say that was arrogant? I couldn't hear the post-round interview over my family.

They asked him about his "top 5 in the world" comment they aired earlier in the day and he didn't back down from it. He thinks he's really really good, and it don't see a problem with it, because he is. Also, guys go the other way and say too much self deprecating stuff and we blast them for being phony. They can't win.

      Jack vs. Tiger: Who's the Greatest Golfer?

      By iacas ·

      I'm not doing this for the hundred and twentieth time. Sorry in advance, but you get the massively abridged version. Those guys also benefited from the weaker/shallower fields. Also, Watson's career doesn't overlap with Jack's like many think it did. Tom is nearly a decade younger. Jack won only like four majors only after Tom won his first. And Tom won more British Opens than he did all three of the other majors combined, as it was his specialty (not Jack's). Arnie's career similarly doesn't overlap Jack's as much as many think.   Jack would also tell you Tiger was the better golfer.

      Jack vs. Tiger: Who's the Greatest Golfer?

      By Dr. Manhattan ·

      Weaker depth of fields for sure. Some of the top level guys with Jack were pretty awesome. Tom Watson had the lead on the 72nd hole of the 2009 British Open, an event where Tiger missed the cut. Old Tom was almost 60 years old. Jack himself at age 58 finished Top 10 at The 1998 Masters and scored better than Tiger, who won The Masters by 12 shots just a year before that.   The success of both Tom & Jack in older age gives some hope that maybe Tiger can find the magic again at some point. He’s still trying to figure out how to build the stamina for 72 holes after the leg injury. I would love to see him jump on the leaderboard in the coming years. I know a lot of people have given up on him at this point, but that was also true from 2014 to 2017 with the back injuries. He had a hell of a resurgence in 2018 & 2019. Would be fun to see it again.

      The Pro Tours Random Thoughts and Musings Thread

      Perceptive rules question by caddie unlocks Tour pro’s ‘dead zone’ relief A perceptive rules question by Xander Schauffele’s caddie, Austin Kaiser, unlocked “dead zone” relief during the Wells Fargo Championship.

      I ran across an interesting new clip, Johnson Wagner went into that spot with the Referee who allowed the relief.  Apparently there was a perfectly reasonable shot to be made, as Johnson clearly demonstrated, so relief from the TIO was perfectly appropriate.

      Jack vs. Tiger: Who's the Greatest Golfer?

      By iacas ·

      Once again… it's easier to be "consistent" when you're playing against weaker competition. Despite playing against significantly stronger/deeper fields, Jack was nowhere near as dominant as Tiger Woods was. Jack's "consistency" is a lame way of saying "I like Jack and I want to vote for him as GOAT but I can't come up with a real reason why, so I'll just say he was more 'consistent.'" If someone joined the PGA Tour, kinda muddled around for a year or two, then won 16 majors and 75 total PGA Tour events in eight years, then promptly retired… He'd almost surely have my vote for GOAT. Consistency schmonsistency.
