Tiger tied for 3rd!!! 5 birdies, 4 using driver, 1 with 3W. #What took so long?

Lots of people erroneously think being in the fairway is advantageous to being 80 yards closer in the rough, pros included.

Or it could just be that he wanted to make the cut first and now there's less to lose for being aggressive.

Ivor Robson is a tough act to follow.  

New guy sounds almost like him.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

That's fine if Tigers mindset is "I hope I just make the cut." I don't think that will ever be his mind set though. At least I hope not...

Tiger needs to get one at 14 and then try and par out. -6 may be 3 or 4 back by days end but it’ll at least put him in mix for “Trainwreck Sunday”.

Is there sny wind in the forecast later today? If not, I can see someone (or a few) getting to 10 or 11 under today

Don't see the problem with that - it's not the US Open where par is sacred, just a good test of golf over four days. It's nice to see how hard the other days can be when there's one day where they rip it up a bit!

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

I don't think so, either. I think he probably thought his strategy was good, but seeing how far back he is now he knows he has to take bigger risks to have a chance.

I hate when Spieth does this. Plays so ridiculously wild in the first two rounds and holes a few ridiculous shots, then gets his eye in and you can almost guarantee he'll be on top of the leaderboard tomorrow. Fair play to him, he does deal with the awful places he puts himself in really well.

Credit to him for playing a flawless (fearless?) round so far. Now get the horse in the barn...

Wind predicted to pick up a little bit at the end of today and switch more to SW as the system moves in that will be around tomorrow. So maybe Tiger will catch a break.

He doesn't need the money so I don't think it ever will be.

    • First (12 holes) round in a year, maybe the third round in five years. After prioritizing family for a long time, I’m ready to play more golf. We moved back where I grew up and started playing golf. The course is close, but only six holes and pretty short, so the longest club I bring is a 4i. It is very undulated, with a lot of elevation changes and 4/6 greens are blind shots. The long game was relatively good (relative to my game and swing). Got things to work on, but the current state is manageable. One OB. Wedges and short game was atrocious. Chunking like I was making a garden. On the worst hole I chunked a 58° approach, then chunked three chips in a row… Time to search up some chipping topics and start practicing. I’ll take this over bad long game and good short game. The short game is easier to fix. Shot a net +17(!), gross +23, over 12 holes.
    • Day 118 - Spent some time working on the full swing. Need to film some swings for Evolvr tomorrow. 
    • playing with cleveland hybrid irons have friends that use hybrids anyone using hybrid irons or hybrids would appreciate fwwdback
    • I dont know if I really have a favorite, but there are two that have stuck in my mind for a very long time. #15 at Erie Golf course during the Finals of the EDGA Matchplay. Was up early and then lost a few holes in row so the match was close again. My opponent had a short putt for birdie. I hit past hole high, but 35 feet right. I drained the putt and looked over at my opponent who was in disbelief.   #8 at Whispering Woods during another year of the EDGA Matchplay. Was playing a very cocky opponent who made sure to mention on the first tee how many times he won the club championship at this course. I hammered this 30 footer that clanked off of the pin and dropped. My opponent was disgusted and that made me weirdly happy. I went on to win 5&3 or something like that, so that entire day has stayed in my memory. 
    • Day 20: Did 30 minutes after getting home from work, before kid's baseball practice. This session was piecing out the new hip move in transition, doing 2-3 rehearsals from the top, and then hitting a ball from between P5/P6. Did another 45 minutes after baseball practice and dinner. Did 30 more minutes of what I did earlier, and then about 15 minutes of full swings trying to incorporate athletically.
