Not really anybody going to super low today. Leader is -5 with Ricky Barnes one back. Tiger is T109 or something like that and Even Par is T30. Also, top 4 players not eligible(In the top 12) secure spots to the British Open

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.

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

It kind of make sense that the problem would be the short game.

While it is true that right after the surgery he could putt and chip, as I understand it he has only been able to work on the full swing for the last month or so.  Since he has had such a short period to work on it I'm betting that his practice time swung heavily towards working on the long game and, as a consequence, shortchange the time spent on the short game over the last month.

Anther possible explanation is that he was doing his practicing on Bermuda green-side rough and this course has Rye grass.  He talked about that in his pre-event presser.

The interesting thing will be to see if the short game comes back tomorrow in time to make the cut.

But then again, what the hell do I know?

This is really not the leaderboard the media and golf fans were looking for...what a snooze fest. I can't remember a leaderboard I've ever had to search this hard to find someone I care about.

I wouldn't call it a snooze fest at all. And "Golf Fans" realize there may be a small lull between Majors. Marquee guys take certain weeks off all the time. If golf is on the tube Im watching especially on Sunday.

I consider myself a true 'golf fan' and watch every week regardless of whether the likes of Tiger/Phil, etc. are in the mix, but with the hype going into this event with Tiger's return, it's dissapointing to see such a sub-par leaderboard. With the exception of Sneds at -1, I have a hard time caring or routing for a single other guy under par right now.

I get what you're saying and I wasnt questioning your golf fanhood at all. I dont know who to root for at this point either. Erik Compton for me would be an easy choice. Ricky Barnes only because I belive he's from my neck of the woods. Or maybe I'll just spend my energy rooting against Patrick Mr Top 5 Reed LOL.

Seriously, I think we need to give Tigs a little more credit. Even if he misses the cut, how many other guys are playing after just three months out of back surgery? I'm watching replays of his round and the Dude does not look like someone recovering from surgery.

I'm with you on that- Compton is easy to root for and Reed is almost equally as easy to root against

Lol, I think Reed has paid his dues. It's time for the gods to throw him a bone. On the other hand, I'm calling 68 for Tiger today. (Fingers crossed)

Just kind of a fashion sidebar.....I wish Tiger would do away with the goatee. Some people look good in goatees, and then there's others that don't. Tiger's one of those that don't.

When I see Tiger playing like this, I suspect it's Mirror Tiger and not Tiger Prime. I want Tiger Prime back.

I'm ok with his play, he needs to putt better for sure, but he seems to be striking the ball well for the most part

Hey, as long as he's not sporting any of those World Cup I don't know what you call them, that's a good thing.

      Of course. I've used different words to start, but like 90-95% of the time it's been this one. And I'm unlikely to switch now.

      Angle is not a factor. I hit the ball 100’ high. Par is net birdie. My CH is 16. The rough between the bunkers is like 10’ wide though. That’s not something you’re going to try to hit on purpose. Most of the area to the left of that is fescue/native vegetation and I’m pretty sure there isn’t a flat lie in any of it. It’s the second hole.

      Hello all.  I'm about to be 57 yrs old, started playing when I was 16, and have quit and restarted the game more times than I can count.  I had started playing a weekly round with a friend, and finally made the jump to Senior A shafted Tour Edge clubs.  Instantly gained 10 yds with an easier swing (why didn't I make that jump sooner???).  Glad to be a part of the group. Cheers all,

      I think I like this hole.  It is a clear "Risk-Reward" choice.  Since most of the shots in your cone cleared the bunkers I would say they are a minor risk and not a big issue.  Playing the aggressive line may give you 70ish yards in from what looks to be playable rough while conservative play is 120ish from fairway.  I know you said 70 vs 120 is minor for you but how does the approach angle in impact your results?  I figure both strategies are playing for Birdie since holing out from either is mostly luck. Looking at your proximity hole I think it says @ 50 feet when hitting from the fairway from 100-150 and 40 feet if hitting 50-100 from the rough.  Neither of those is an easy birdie putt.   I like the approach angle from the rough between the bunkers & the adjacent tees over the angle from @ 120 in the fairway but I really do not like the idea of hitting onto the adjacent tee boxes and that may impact my confidence with making the shot.  Also, too far left may be a worse approach angle then from the fairway short of the bunkers. For me this may come down to how confident do I feel when I reach that tee box.  If I am stroking it well off the tee leading up to the hole I would try for over the bunkers and the better angle in but if I am struggling that day I would likely opt for the fairway to take more bad stuff out of play.
