2018 Honda Classic

Par is a good score after that drive.

E is T11. Sure, half the field hasn't gone out yet, but this course is NOT playing easy.

Berger has such a fascinating swing. I haven't watched very shot but it looks like his stock is a big low push cut. Pretty cool. 

[iacas]

Tiger shoots E and, as he leaves the course, is T24.

A lot of those ahead of him have played only a few holes and just happened to make a birdie. The scoring average is a few over par right now.

Tiger Stats: 

7/14 Fairways (some of those misses by small distances)

10/18 GIR

28 putts

Pretty good overall! Two holes hurt him. 

It's so much fun to watch him play. Only three back!

There's that double on the par 5, but better?

Thaaaaaat's a .... right. That's how you do w/relish.

FTFY. Three back. Four players are at -3.

 

Now Noren gets to -4, making @jbishop15 Nostradamus.

Hindsight is 20/20, but if he left his driver in the bag he'd probably be leading the tournament.

[DeadMan]

Get rid of that damn double bogey on the par 5, Tiger!

Really good round, though, considering I thought there was a chance he'd be shooting around 80. Tiger Tracker is pretty impressed, so that's good.

I don't think so at all.

I don't think his driver cost him even a full shot today (and I'm not talking about SG:Off the Tee because he only hit five drivers).

His costly mistake on the par five was with his wedge.

Ah. I thought he had gotten in trouble on a couple of holes off the tee.

It wasn't awesome, but it didn't really cost him. I think he parred 10, 12… 18, made double after a driver (IIRC) because of the wedge, and bogeyed 16 after hitting the fairway (I forget which club, but he only made a double and a bogey and three birdies, with the rest pars).

On if he felt this was his best ball-striking day in his comeback:

“Yeah, easily. Just only my seventh round, so it easily was my best ball-striking day. I was very pleased.”

7 is a bad score when you are in a greenside bunker in 2

Sam Saunders (I know because he's on my fantasy team this week .... with no carryover from his play last week)

how did he go from 'third shot outside bunker' to 'fourth shot in bunker'?

Oh, he is playing this week too? I didn't know because his lone fan hasn't posted about how it would be the biggest story in the game or something…
