we will take it!

just from following along on the play-by-play on the app, and the 2.72 strokes gained putting, it seems like the magic wand was working pretty well today...

Tiger only hit 50% of his fairways, but they were small misses. There needs to be (or someone needs to point out to me) a statistic that shows how far someone missed the fairway; that's a better stat, I think, then just missed fairways.

yea, i agree...   you can't tell if a player is missing by 50 yards or 50 inches...

they have "smash factor"...   how about a new stat called "wildness factor"?

From what I saw, he missed one putt for birdie within 5 feet . Other then that, the flat stick was very good.

He made a couple of putts in the 10 foot range for par, too. His putter was outstanding today.

They got something called distance from edge of fairway, but I'm not sure what it means. http://www.pgatour.com/players/player.08793.tiger-woods.html/statistics

That might be the stat I'm looking for. One thing I think is interesting: his club head speed is 118 mph. He should be hitting it well over 300 with that, right?

yea, i dunno what that really means either, because none of the numbers add up? e.g. possible fairways, missed fairways, strokes, etc...

Found the explanation here: http://www.pgatour.com/stats/stat.02420.html

Quote:
The average distance in feet and inches from the edge of the fairway when the player misses the fairway. The average is calculated on the tee shots of all par 5 holes and on those par 4 holes where the player did not go for the green.

Very solid round today. Weak field and a relatively easy course. I would think that he'd be disappointed if he doesn't finish at least top 10, even given his play lately.

That's it, then. He's ranked 200 or lower in that stat; him missing fairways isn't the problem, but how badly. If he can get it to like, say 30 feet or so, I think that's when we'll see him really turn it on.

    • Shot of the Week for me was definitely this drive that set up my second birdie of the back 9 yesterday. It’s a longer par 4 but usually the prevailing wind is with you (the slightly longer hole to the right is a par 5 that usually plays into the wind). I don’t usually hit driver on this hole and honestly couldn’t think of the last time I did when I was standing on the tee. Yesterday, the wind was in the opposite direction so I had to hit into a headwind. I decided I’d need the extra length with driver on the tee and absolutely piped it. It was perfectly launched with low spin that just penetrated through the wind. Technically the approach shot was worth more in SG (I hit it inside 4’), but this drive set up the entire hole.

    • Rory and Bryson are two of my favorites for some time.  This was a great watch.  Poor Rory looked gutted and (heat?) exhausted at the end there.  Bryson play US Open golf - Captain Scramble.  Avoid the blowups and accidentally find a birdie on occasion and it goes far,  
    • 2nd shot into a short par 5. I had ~185 left but was just off the fairway to the right with some low tree limbs in front of me. Aimed at the water and hit a punch slice 4 iron that started low under the trees, rose higher as it kept going, cut towards the middle of the green, carried the water and rolled to ~25 feet for an eagle putt. Lipped out the eagle putt but never going to complain about tap in birdies.  It was one of those shots that I've done before and was a perfect yardage gap. I have a punch 4 iron swing that I know goes right at 185, and I can cut the ball much easier than I can draw it, so it was actually a much easier shot for me than it appears to be in the picture. I would have been fine if it would have over cut too, rough isn't very penal here so it would have been an easy chip from short right.  Although to be fair I didn't realize/remember that the water cut in as far into the fairway as it did, I thought it stopped right around the left edge of the green. 
    • I absolutely LOVE my new Titliest U505 3 iron.  It was slightly chunky looking at first, but I don't even notice it anymore after just a couple rounds with it. It's super easy to launch it high and I have no issues flighting it down either.  Perfectly fine to hit off the tee for tighter tee shots and for 2nd shots into par 5s. Even the mishits go much further than I think they should, it's quite forgiving.
