Huh?

Just now in the par 3 contest, he made an ace, ran down the fairway backwards in celebration, and turned his ankle badly.  It was at a crazy angle before he popped it back in.  He's still on the course, though.

What is Tiger Woods's profession? Answer: he is an entertainer. That's how he makes his living. The entertainment he provides is playing golf, very well. Somehow, society has determined that playing g

We are all wondering if he rolled it or popped out. It definitely looked like it could have.  Either way, he's going to be icing that thing when he's done.

That was scary to watch. Fingers crossed he didn’t just jack up his first Masters.

A lot of basketball players have some squirrelly ankles...hopefully he can work through it.

That's... why you don't run at Augusta!

There are 3 longshots that I think are work a $3 or $4 bet on....Harman at 80/1, DeChambeau at 66/1 and Patrick Reed at 50/1. Put $5 on Reed and a few on Harman and DeChambeau. Not much, but I think those are pretty good odds for those 3.

Ouch. Worst thing was he had to “put it back” with his hand.

Is it his first?

Didn't Paul Lawrie or someone have to be stretchered out of Augusta National?

Although I've never been to ANGC, have walked some serious rolling terrain courses and see why a not trivial number of people hurt themselves.

Backwards...downhill...on wet grass...

They showed him on the next tee and his wife was looking at him with a "I'm gonna beat your a$$ when we get home" tilt.

It is. He qualified for the first three majors of the 2018 season by making it to the Tour Championship in 2017. He's played in the US Open, The Open Championship, and the PGA Championship but this will be his first Masters.

I think we can safely say that the winner of the par 3 won't win the Masters this year either.

This has probably been mentioned already, but how in the check do we watch Tiger tomorrow? You'd think he'd be in a featured group online at the very least. I'm seeing 3pm est on ESPN and then some special cameras on CBS sports.com

Wow. As someone who's had some ankle issues, I really feel for Finau.  Hopefully he didn't do much damage.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Went up to Erie for a lesson. I still need to work on how I shift my weight into my right leg and turn into the right leg. I extend it too much and externally rotate it too much. That all causes me to over rotate the hips and cause weight shift issues in the downswing. I need to feel like my right leg gains flex (it doesn’t), and my knee cap faces forward. The right hip sinks back and right. I need a need a ton more internal rotation. I still have some right elbow issues in the backswing. The path is better, but too much right elbow bend. I need to maintain width in the right elbow and let my right shoulder retract more, let’s say at A3, which helps keep that right arm extended.
