6 under 64!

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...

[jbishop15]

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"?

[tiger19]

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.

Who is this Tiger Woods you speak of with -6 today? I don't recognize him.

So much for the yips.

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...

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.

thanks... wonder if that's a mean or a median? still can't make all the various numbers add up in my head... :~( but i'm workin' on it... :-D

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.

Tom Hoge (who?!) goes out in 29....!
