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

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

      Best Shot of the Week

      By saevel25 · Posted

      On my trip at Bandon. I have a couple of best shots come to mind. I had kind of a stupidly good short game shot out of some nasty stuff. I didn't really make any bombs putting.  I could say any drive I hit straight that was hitting directly into the wind, lol. That was nasty. I literally hit a ball like 150 yards right. I am going with my drive on hole 18 at Old MacDonald. 469 yard par 4, down wind. The narrowest fairway on the course, and you have to navigate two sets of bunkers. I stripe one down the middle, catch the slope and have to roll out to about 95 yards to the pin. So yea, that 370-ish drive in the fairway on a 469 par 4 wins the shot of the week.

      Day 2: mirror work while watching some TV. Checking on some backswing stuff primarily - making sure I’m still steep enough in the backswing.

      Day 88 (28 Jul 25) - Short session this afternoon after a full day of yard work at the house.  Worked on setup and tempo thru the shot with the 52° wedge in the backyard.  Hit about 20 balls total - just staying focused on the process.

      Day 10: More putting with the metronome. Short putts feel really slow and long putts feel really fast. Getting more comfortable every day.

      Day 301 - 2025-07-28 Watched a lot of golf today at Fox Chapel, but then came home and did some mirror work. Re-dedicated. Which is saying something, as I've been playing okay. But relying on my athleticism to just do "okay."
