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 11, 1/11/26.  Today was putting, along about 6' of carpet, with coins on the ground to keep me cognizant of what I'm doing.  I think this is the at-home drill from LSW. (Ugh, missed two of the last four days -- 1/10 and 1/8)

      Mizuno Jpx One Driver & Fairway Woods

      By M2R · Posted

      I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
