Danny Willett looks in danger of being a much younger Sandy Lyle at the moment. Constantly miles over par over the last two years.

Currently focusing on: Key 4 - shorter backswing.

What's in the bag: Callaway X2 Hot Driver, Titleist 915F 3 wood, X2 Hot 3 Hybrid, 3, 5-AW Apex Pro irons, 54*, 58* Cleveland RTX, Odyssey Versa 1 Putter

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

I find it very strange -  and I doubt that I'm the only one -  that you seem to see anything that Woods does as a personal victory for you when it doesn't live up to the hopes of others. My hunch is t

To be fair to Sandy Lyle, he had a pretty decent sustained career throughout the 1980s. D. Willett is starting to look like a man whose moment in the sun lasted for one weekend.

Judging from the tracker, he's been ok tee to green, but his short game and putting looks like it's really costing him :-(

The Willett Tracker???

If you meant Tiger… no. I wouldn't say that's the case at all. Bad drive on one, good first putt. Bad drive on five. Poor tee shot on 4.

Tiger isn't +5 through 8, either. He's +1 through 7.

Meant Willett. And by ok, I mean 'not disastrous'.

It's stupid that you can't view the holes on the tracker that a player hasn't played yet.

Saw Parziale was +8 and one away from DFL.

So at least Willett is beating him… ;-)

Tiger's driver has been his best club today.  Did not expect that.

Missed two fairways with 3-wood, poor bunker play, only one really good iron shot, and only one really good putt.  Not going to win this way, but let's hope this is like 1997, where he was a different player after the first nine.

Eh. It's not like he's shooting 40 right now.

Should make the turn at E. Got an iron in to 8. So I'm giving him a birdie.

But yeah, a better back nine would help. ;-)

That shot of Woods' ball flight was cool.

I think, on the first day, you just want to be sure you're in touch in case anyone has a 2015 Spieth kinda day. -2/-3 and you're very happy.

Makes me cringe when the announcers state that a 20 foot putt uphill is better than a 10 foot putt downhill. :doh:

Clearly they havent read LSW

Usually not when there's a ten-foot gap, no, and not true when it's three feet vs. six feet…

But I'd take a 23-footer uphill than a 20-footer downhill on some of those greens.

Lost that second shot left - the iron seemed a weird choice. Surely just get it as far as you can at the right edge of the green?
