2018 Honda Classic

He's made watching this week a lot of fun though hasn't he? There is something about him that I can remember only a few athletes in my lifetime having... you just have to watch, even if you aren't a fan of their sport. Ali, Tyson, Tiger are at the top of my list because they weren't in a team sport. Just below them, Jordan in a Finals game, and Bird vs Magic were always something you had to see. To a lesser extent tennis had a few back in the 70's and 80's. McEnroe, vs Agassi, or Connors in a night time Us Open matchup or other Major Finals was must see even for those who knew or cared little about the sport. Funny thing, not one of them had a squeaky clean image. They even went so far as to enrage sports purists with some of their actions. Yet I/We couldn't turn away. Hopefully Tiger can give us a few more years more. Love him or hate him, he's the only one of these mega stars we have right now.

Ah, haha, well all right then. Thanks. I figured it was some bad weather announced. 

10 minutes until tee time!

[Zeph]

BANG! Birdie. We're off and running.

I want to see yesterday's round, but this time with more birdies.

[chspeed]

Birdie start!

Struggling off the tee on 2 and 3. Not what he needs now. His par five problem continues.

Hopefully he takes his medicine here on 3.

This par 5 ED issue this year is really disconcerting...he should be hammering those things.

[MacDutch]

No its not, imagine he’s making birdies on par 5’s. He would be in the lead. So thats an easy fix.

[colin007]

Hahaha he hit that duck/goose/bird thing whatever it was...

Stuffs another, shots gained approach shots...prox to hole

[GrandStranded]

3 under. Guys, This is getting interesting, isn't it? Don't see him catching Justin, but hey, ya never know...

[Zeph]

If he can post a good number, a lot of things can happen to the leaders on the final stretch.

This is pretty fun. I forgot what a Tiger fan boy I was. I couldn't care less about any other player on the course. I'm totally that guy right now. It's sad to realize about myself in a lot of ways, but I should probably just embrace it without too much shame

It's not sad at all, just accept it as the person you were always meant to be.

Webb Simpson's follow thru. No gusta.

[Zeph]

Burning edges and now a bogey. Becoming more and more difficult.

Doesn’t look like anyone is going to run away with it.  Tigers wins have almost always been on courses where the scoring was difficult.  If he can post -6, he might have a chance at a playoff or even the win.

Woods is currently -2 which means he'd need to shoot -4 on the back 9 (31) to get to -6. Based on his scores so far this week on the back 9 (34, 37, 35) it doesn't look like that is in the cards. Not saying it can't happen just that he would have to be much, much better that he has shown so far this week.
