Avoid bogey on 8, make a birdie on 9 and we're off.

Yeah, the back nine is where he made the most hay yesterday. Nobody else is really moving forward much (except Xander).

Round 1 - Strokes gained by putting: 2.2

Through 12 Holes in Round 2 - Strokes gained by putting: -1.8

Big swing from yesterday to today in putting.  Hopefully he can even out the negative strokes gained now that he's switched back to old faithful Scotty Cameron.

Yesterday: 3.116 SG approach to the green. Today: -0.088

Yesterday: 2.215 putting. Today: -2.625

Yesterday: 1.5 putts per GIR. Today: 1.929

 

Can't put all blame on his putter though. Lower SG on approaches affects SG putting. Yesterday he made 94 feet putts. Today 30 feet.

 

Aaaand he finishes up with a bogey on 18 for even par today. Not very good. I hope he did it to give everyone else a chance. I think he will head to the practice green.

Justs maddening. -8 to an even round. Tiger just has to keep it solid. Fields are so damn stout these days. Can't have a one great round and win anymore. I hope he digs something up and goes real low tomorrow to make for a great Sunday. Damn it.

By all accounts he should've shot higher today. Testament to his scoring ability, losing strokes off the tee and putting.

 

He hit almost 80% of the fairways. Tee ball was not the problem. Major problems with the putter and a couple of loose iron shots on par 3’s really cost him.

I'm sorry, you're correct, I mean his approach shots

Just spent Thursday and Friday at the BMW. The weather really made the course play different. Shots that were close Thursday came up short today. The course is beautiful BTW.

One of the hardest things in golf is to follow up a great round with even a really good one! I think it's not just because everything is different every day, but that an incredible round raises expectations in your own mind, and you can begin to press.

Well I was ok with his being -10. But to bogey the last two holes, especially that stupid bogey on 18 is what kills me. Bad breaks yeah, but his bogey on 18 was just ridiculous. Can't make those type of mistakes and get away with it.

I'm gonna blame him for the tee shot on 17 as well, it was a good 25 yards (YARDS!!) out to the right...

The approach on 18 and the first putt were both unforgivable.

Poor Phil. He's playing so poorly nobody wants to play with him today.

What are the chances they cut the tournament down to 54 holes if Sunday runs down the drains?

They have a week off before the Ryder Cup, so they would probably play Monday if needed.

Now back to the 57 watch.

    • This. Whatever your longest iron is where you won't be in the trees a high percentage of the time. If that's shorter than 7i (as in, you'll have to hit a longer iron for your approach bringing trees back into play with high probability), I agree you're better off getting closer. But again play the percentages. If your 3w or 5w dispersion is solidly narrower than your driver, hit those. But some people hit driver straighter, so whatever gives you the highest probability of not being in the trees.
    • Essentially find the longest club you can hit straight and go with that off the tee.  You want the shortest shot into the green for your second.  If that is the hybrid or 7i or even PW, go with that.  You lose a lot more by being OB and having to re-tee
    • @TxGolfDude I’m curious as to how long this ‘repeatable swing’ has lasted. Not to be a Debbie Downer, but we all know how cruel the Golf Gods can be. I too have had quite a golf swing journey. Unfortunately, when it comes to the golf swing I have zero natural talent. Nothing about it feels comfortable or natural. The grip? I’ve done them all and it still feels like I’m holding a knotted oak branch. The proper take away feels awkward and weak. Arms in a proper position, asinine and no feel of any power. I’ve had times where I think I’ve developed an acceptable swing with handsome ball striking for months only to fall apart. So, how long have you had this swing working for ya?
    • How come the marked shots on the picture add up to 366 yards and the label says 325? Are you playing it at 325? In any case, that hole is narrow with a capital NARROW. If those woods are lost ball territory, then I think you hit from the tee whatever club is accurate enough that you'll be able to hit the fairway "most" of the time. That could even be a wedge potentially, especially depending on how restrictive the trees back near the tee are. I might seriously consider playing this hole as 8 iron 6 iron or so. There's more room up by the green than the fairway, so save the longer club for the second shot.
