Just watched Tiger shoot a flawless 65 in Dubai - 7 birdies, 13 pars, 2 shot lead from the morning starters.

Watch out for Henrik Stenson who's 4 under thru 6 holes!

Both gents love this course and have won here - could be a great weekend of golf. And a note - Mark O'Meara is -2 finished

You meant to say

11 pars and 7 birdies. Even Tiger might have a hard time shooting a 65 playing 20 holes. I agree, it's going to be great weekend for golf!

What a flawless round of golf by the true master of the game! He shot 65 but could easily have been 62 or 63 if some of his putts had dropped rather than staying on the edge. I know everyone can say that but still, the man is a legend and yet again is going to win another tournament, the question is by how many?

tiger better look out for ian

They will beat their swords into golf clubs and their spears into putters. Nation will not take up sword against nation, nor will they train for war anymore. Old Tom Morris 2:4

Other than looking for Tiger's score the first person that looked for on the leaderboard was to see how Ian Poulter followed up his talk this week.

T43, not exactly sizzling.

I'm personally a little disappointed. Tiger played well. He could have played much better. Off the tee box he improved from last week. However, he was no where near his putting from the Buick. He mentioned that in his interview. Hopefully he'll put everything together soon and we can see what "Tiger's Year" is going to look like at full potential.

I doubt anyone in the history of golf has said, "I was pretty disapointed with that 65," at least not without incurring a prolific beating from his playing partners. Tiger's standard is getting out of hand. Bogey-free, 7 birdies, and we're talking about how he could have played better.

Nothing in the swing is done at the expense of balance.

haha yes rangerat - well spotted ;) 11 pars sounds more like it!

at least tiger isn't out at 6am on tv tomorrow, i can take a lie in :)

as for master Poulter - he claimed that he would be challenging tiger when (if) he reaches his full potential. not that he currently was as good/better today.
methinks he's just doing it to stir it up to sell more clothes.

Well now he definitely did not say he was disappointed. He simply mentioned that he putted terribly.

Personally it excites the crap out of me to hear him say that. -7 could quickly turn into -14 no problem.

got up at 7:30am on my holidays to see if anyone caught Tiger.

Nope!

My Irish boys doing well, Gary Muphy 6 under, Gmac 5 under. Stenson 5 also.

The Wind is up in the desert so watching Tiger will be great!

Tiger looking ominous today. Rolled some good putts thru 8 holes.

He's wearing shades - probably due to the sand in the air the commentators have been saying.

Poulter had a 71 today, finished -3.

Irish Boys going well still!

was surprised when they said tiger had 31 european tour victories, never knew he spent so much time on the euro tour

thought tiger look cool with those sunglasses too but don't think he's not going to out dress ian till he loses that baseball hat, maybe go back to the straw hat he won the u.s. amateur in ian 2 tiger 0

wow 31 european tour victories? I believe this includes Majors and WGC as these are co-sanctioned events. He used to be a regular at the Deutsche Bank in Germany but that tournament is gone now

So a one shot lead for Tiger going into the weekend, with his nearest competitor being the Irish lad Damien McGrane. It is going to be an amazing experience for McGrane getting to play with Woods on Saturday, I hope he copes with the situation well - I have seen him play a few times and I think he could do ok alongside the true legend.

Tiger WILL win this tournament, but maybe it might be a little closer than we first imagined. There are a few big names in contention, Els, Stenson and Garcia to name three! Going to be an exciting weekend I think

      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 🙂
