Not often there is this much interest in a Thursday morning of a tournament.

Tiger rocking last place with Spieth.

Haha, there isn't even a thread for the BMW International Open which has...

Miguel Jimenez, Mikko Illonen, Henrik Stenson, John Daly, Victor Dubuisson, Sergio Garcia, Martin Kaymer...

Tiger is just THAT fascinating.

I'm guessing Tiger Woods will get preference on when he tees off and who he tees off with (since it's pretty much his tourney). I'd be surprised if he doesn't choose Thursday morning-Friday pm. This g

For this tournament Patrick Reed stole Tiger Woods' talent like the Monstars in Space Jam. You cannot convince me otherwise.

Short game is very off. Bogey again. This is ugly now.

It's a bloodbath for Eldrick right now.

Some guys might be watching on C-Band wildfeeds... I know they post the co-ordinates on certain websites.  Galaxy 3C seems to be sending this feed out via C-Band, and there were some Tiger Woods' press conferences earlier on Ku-Band.

Didn't he say "at least my short game will be sharp" for now? I guess it's a good thing he took his practice reps to a real event or we'd be watching this performance at a major.

Don't panic, remember ( like the last 5 years) its a "process" " I'm getting close" " I only play if I thnk I can win" " Sean and I have feel positive from this and we now have something to work on" and more "Trajs and reps" I know, I'm a little cynical here, but I give him Kudos for coming out and playing. I think the primary motivator was the $$$ charity. some of these sponsors are touch and go in this economy, if they don't see a return of their invested dollars, come budget time next year they can " re-evaluate things. If you recall there was abig press conference held announcing this partnership with quicken and the PGAtour. Without him being there it impacts the entire tournament in a highly populated area. This may also explain why he's only playing this tourney- leading into the British open ( The open Championship)

Not sure what he said, but it's the complete opposite. Based on the stats I'm seeing his full shots look really really good, everything else....no

You're right, but he did say in an interview that when he could only do chips and putting for a while his short game would be extra sharp. I think the true greatness of Tiger comes out when his short irons and wedge approaches get up to snuff, however, and it looks like he's awful there right now. He always seems to struggle with distance control on shorter approaches when he's "tweaking" or coming back. I remember at a tournament in 2011 he absolutely flushed a sand wedge, posed like he was about to hit it inside two feet, and watched it go over the green into deep rough. He turned around in disbelief and said to Joe LaCava "Did I just hit sand wedge 150? I can't believe I hit SW 150. How is that possible?" or something like that. Looks like a lot of that right now.

Another birdie, back to 4 over and no longer in last :)

It's too bad he couldn't take advantage of the par 5. He'd have a good little streak going.

Three feet from another birdie on #8 now too.

I guess he realized his short game sucked, so he's leaving himself without any short game shots lately.

It was a really nice comeback and it made it even more special when Patrick Reed had bogeys on 17 and 18.

I'm not a Reed hater, it's just Tiger looks better in the Sunday red. :-D

Absolutely.....hell, there are at least 5 or 6 guys behind him right now. :-D

Honestly though, he threw up 4 birdies.  I'd expect him to do at least the same tomorrow with a lot fewer bogies.  I wouldn't be surprised to see 67 tomorrow.....

      PRGR Launch Monitor

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
