Impressive starts from Fowler and Rahm, birdie from Rory and Thomas also going well. Reed and Leishman start slow. Exactly what we'd have wanted.

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

Definitely some low scores out there today. The guys towards the top will probably have to shoot a good score to hang in there.

Reed laid up and missed the green.  He pitches so well I don't understand why he'd lay up that far back.

Scared the hole on his chip though, should make that one, but it is downhill.

 

Nope. Bogey.

Tiger:

"Didn't play par fives well and didn't hit a lot of good iron shots, it was the same as yesterday. *Laughs* I'm putting so well today. This week I'm hitting so many good putts that's just not going in, but I'm not hitting it close enough."

https://www.golfchannel.com/video/tiger-72-my-swing-just-my-irons/

 

He didn't hit a lot of fairways today, I think I heard four, but many of them were just off the fairway. He did have some bigger misses right.

Rory taking full advantage of some very lucky bounces from the golf gods today (#1, #2, #5). And now we see him stuff the pin at #6. That is the type of ballstriking we expect from him.

This. Long may it continue! With the 8th very gettable today, he's got a shot at tying the lead.

Wow, Fowler is really on fire. Eagle and three birdies after 8.

      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 🙂
