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.

This can't be real but what did I miss with Sorenstam and trapeze?

He's in one of the two morning featured groups.

      My Swing (Ty_Webb)

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      Got told off yesterday for doing full swings and full speed swings so went to the range this lunchtime and did some slow speed stuff and freezers. A few videos from my session.    First few are DTL then some FO This one is of me looking at the club on the way back. I think I get my arms lifting all the way back, not that you’d know because YouTube keeps glitching on me.    Second one is two slow backswings. This glitches the first one but the glitch looks like a pretty good position so I’ll live. Second one works. Then another swing back and hit. When I’m not watching or really focusing on it it seems that my upper arm doesn’t lift at first, rather stays roughly where it is and I add the lift at the end so the club comes a bit more inside. I think that’s what I’m going to focus on. This one glitches a bit too but it’s really just pausing. This shows the club coming a bit more inside but not as laid off at the top Then a couple of face on ones And lastly one smoothie and one freezer at normal speed  Quite happy with how this went. I can see my arms are better when I take it slower. Also while I’m still pitching my arms out it doesn’t seem to be as extreme as yesterday. Light at the end of the tunnel 🙂
