2014 WGC-Cadillac Championship at Doral Discussion Thread

Woods' back acting up again according toGolf Channel's TigerTracker. Don't count on him contending today.

I was going to say, Tiger is done for the day. Now that I hear that, it's in stone.

If his back is hurting again and he continues to struggle and gets a couple more bogies w/ no birdies, it'll be interesting to see if he plays all 18... I haven't seen him stretching or wincing at all.

Well… on the bright side, I don't have to sit here and watch golf all afternoon. I can get some work done.

Nice third round Tiger. 1 out of 4 won't cut it these days though.

He just did after that one.

He just did after that one.

And a few times before that, too.

On Tiger's par putt, it looked like someone was on the phone at the back-right of the screen... did anyone else see this?

Does Donald Trump want to be a caddie next month? He's sure dressed like one.

[/quote] Yeah, that sand shot came just a couple of minutes after I posted that. I didn't notice previous times, but I'm doing some work, so I'm not watching every swing. As long as he doesn't risk further injury, I'd think it would be best for Tiger to gut this one out. Can you imagine all the questions he'd get if he w/d's in the final round 2 weeks in a row? For some reason, I expect Reed to falter (maybe it's because he's not as experienced as some of the others on the leaderboard). He's playing very well right now! Dufner, on the other hand... I could see ZJ plugging away and being in it...

LOL seriously...whoever dressed him this morning needs to be fired.

I'm in Alabama (& you)....even though I have it, don't know how to use it.

Just have this hang-up, can't watch sports after they already happened.  I'm the only person in the world who has not seen a replay of the IB.

Personal goal is to be so rich I can watch golf and play golf at the same time.  Any techies around?  I do own an I-pad?

With daylight savings, will probably play and just catch the last 10mins.

Duff & Tiger in a playoff.  Someone yells rtr in Duff's backswing.

You should get a Slingbox.  With a Slingbox, you can watch any channel anywhere in the world from your cable or satellite box.  You can also change channels remotely.  The Slingbox comes in HD versions.  What I have setup is the HDMI from my cable box going to the TV, and then component cables going from the cable box to the Slingbox, so I can watch HD on both the TV and my tablet / phone.  Again, it will work anywhere in the world where there's Internet access.  I've controlled my Slingbox from across the continent many times now!  The Slingbox was originally created by a group of guys wanting to watch March Madness while at work at the start of the tourney.

C'mon they let him walk around with that comb over. Why stop him from dressing like a caddie. He is due to start wearing cheap khakis, a polo and new balance Velcro sneakers anyway...

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

His mom says he's in the top 5 golfers in the world.

His mom, his swing coach, the guy who sold me the salsa. They're all very high on Patrick Reed. Convinced all the Monday qualifying hardened him, got him used to the pressure. And did ya hear he's wearing red and black today???

[Ernest Jones]

I didn't know they made TW Underoos in adult sizes. I might have to get a pair. Reed just hit an epic push with the driver, looked like me. :-P

[Zwick]

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

It can be painful. You're not torquing your back as much, but by bending over that far you're asking your lower back to support a lot of weight.

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.
