Like I said, not saying it's going to be this week, but you're fooling yourself if you don't think the kid is on the verge of breaking out. Just look at his age and his recent finishes.

I'm not disagreeing I'm just saying that would suck ass.

Damn too bad for Tiger. Was fighting hard and then came that shot at 12. Now it's going to be a tough fight these next 24 holes or so to make the cut. He's hitting it better from February, but he's not there yet.

Just say it, Chris.   He's the next Tiger. :-D Let's see what he does the next 3 days.   The tournament has just begun.

Still think it's way too early to be talking about the cut..

Agreed. He's holding the fort while swinging poorly, and that's an encouraging sign.

Maybe, but I think come tomorrow he'll be in that ballpark. However, I said coming into this tournament I really don't care what he shoots, I just want to see his short game improve drastically. And so far it has. If he misses the cut but comes away from this week with his short game back intact, he can say the last 8 weeks have paid off. The rest of his game will come with time. He's just fighting some jitters and tournament rust.

Slightly OT, but what's the technique for the couple of hop then stop wedges?

Agreed - he's also had a lot of good long shots, but the consistency just hasn't been up to the demands of the course.

Yeah, that could be. There's no doubt the last 8 weeks have paid off. Honestly, he's showing flashes of brilliance one moment but rust with some of his approaches. Still signs that his game is improving from what it was earlier this year.

Btw, is Tiger's group held up? Seems they're taking forever to tee off each hole.

He's just +2 with 6 to play and all day tomorrow. He's not miles away from anyone except Jordan.

Spieth reveals he's human with that dead pull approach on 15. He's looking at a very tough up-and-down from near the pond at 16.

      Day 37: did my drill swings in the garage with foam balls for about 15 minutes. Working on getting my backswing more turned and then going from there.

      Retaining Trail Knee Flex in the Backswing

      By iacas · Posted

      Thanks but honestly… I don't know any other way. I don't mind being wrong so long as I know where to go from there. I don't like being wrong — I'd love to get things right (which is different than "being right"). I recommend grabbing a furniture slider or a paper plate or something, and doing something like this: First, make a swing where you let your trail foot swing out as you turn, then twist that foot back in. From DL and FO, it'll look like this: Then, during a regular backswing, try to twist your foot in slightly (demonstrated in the left image): You'll notice a crease along the trail side of your hip, your pelvis will "fold" into that thigh (internal rotation of the hip joint), and your "bits" will be squished a little between your pelvis and your thigh. Ben Hogan said once: "At the top of the back swing the groin muscle on the inside of your rt [sic] leg near your right nut will tighten," Hogan wrote. "This subtle feeling of tightness there tells you that you have made the correct move back from the ball." I don't know about that, but you will probably feel something down around that area.

      Yep. I think it will start to feel even more athletic when we start on the downswing stuff later.  I know, it's just I want to be younger so I have more time to enjoy the changes. 🙂

      I need to drop a couple of stone. 🙂 😛    Yep. Yeah, but in the end, it feels more athletic, like you're actually using your legs, yeah? As you know… we use the best available info we have. Like others, I was fooled a little by 2D images for awhile (moving or still). Unlike others, I've learned and grown and moved on since then, while they're still looking at their images (often from lousy camera angles).
