I know this is just the Valspar Championship thread. Tiger hasn't shot that one 65 or 66 yet in this comeback. Is it just me, or does this comeback seem different than all the other ones?

Attention PGA Tour pros, do not let Tiger get the 54-hole lead... You won't catch him. I'm pretty sure, he still remembers how to close the door.

I actually started liking him more since the "incident."   For me, he was hard to like when he was Mr. Perfect.  But when his wife attacked him with a golf club and it all came out about the numerous

that's funny

Tiger is still really snapping the lead left knee....but I guess that's why he hits it a mile

I wish I could snap my knee like that! :-)

He is.  It's scary how far he's hitting it. 

He's no kid and he's driving past the kids.

Tiger rightly urges caution - that he has 36 holes to go, that he's not six clear of the field and that it's a tight leaderboard, that he's just starting his comeback, etc.

Right thing to say, and accurate, too.

This Corey Conners is a playing really well. He still has a few tough holes to play so we'll see if he has the 36 hole lead. -7 thru 30 holes.

Oops... Conners back to 5-under with a 3-putt double bogey at the par-3 4th. and just dumped his 3rd shot in the bunker at the par-5 5th...

He doesn't have the lead, of course.

I saw another graphic that said the last five times (IIRC) he shot under par in the state of Florida in the first two rounds, he won the tournament. Four of those five again IIRC were at Bay Hill.

Corey Connors backs up his first round with another solid round today (69) and its good enough for a 2 shot lead headed for the weekend. He'll be in the final group Saturday with Paul Casey.

Carry on my wayward drive

There'll be pars when you are done

Lay your weary wedge to rest

Don't you shank no more

I think he handled himself well even though he had that brain fart at the 4th. He's got a 4 at 4 under 2 behind him. He'll get a seat to Tigermania 200-300 yards in front of him all day tomorrow. Let's see how he handles it then.

Sure there are.

He's a first-time leader on the PGA Tour and none other than Tiger Woods is nipping at his heels.

Paul Casey. Brandt Snedeker. Ryan Palmer. Sean O'Hair. Justin Rose. They're all right there.

I can only imagine the trip Woods' kids are on right now. Forget how old they are but they should be old enough to comprehend what's going on.

It’s a good job that the mental side of the game has so little influence

Again with this bull?

Give it up, man. He's probably not going to shoot 85 tomorrow. He's going to shoot a respectable score on a tough golf course because his physical game is very, very, very good. Even a 3% difference (NOT as it applies to score) is enough to account for a stroke or two at the PGA Tour level. It's a small edge. One he likely doesn't have.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By GolfLug · Posted

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.

      I have access to far more data (including surveys and polls) than you do with your anecdotes. I mean this as plainly and literally as possible: you’ve demonstrated that you do not. They would, one way or the other.

      Yes, but you don't live in the UK, so you have no idea what we think about it here. It's a very different mindset here, to demonstrate the fact you should consider 9 out of 10 games we play here are Stableford, whereas you you almost solely play medal. Neither is right or wrong, it's just different  I'm trying to avoid swearing here. Once again, and for the 1000th time, I understand the system, I just don't agree with it. Is there anything wrong with that? PS, I do not have the time or patience to post my results, especially as they prove nothing  That's because 99% of the posters are Yanks
