The 2017 Farmers Insurance Open Discussion Thread. Welcome back, Tiger!

[KYMAR]

 

Every shot tiger hit yesterday. Saved me a lot of time. Day plays so slow it was still miserable fast forwarding with DVr.

 

Nice find, thanks!

 

Amazing he didn't shoot worse. Short game and putting look confident. So much for the "chip yip" theory.

 

But the driver is so sloppy. The follow through says a lot, not sure what, but that follow through is a sign of something wrong. Some say it's his hips moving too fast but I think it could be the opposite. He is too tentative and needs to go after it like on the swing on 18.

 

Tiger's swing and the continual miss right reminds me of the future Mrs. Pelz and a pregnancy scare in college...both are a little late.

 

So you're saying she HAS let you touch her at some point in life?

I wish I could take it easy and swing a crummy 114.

She had a few too many sloe gin fizzes that night...

[KYMAR]

Maybe pick up the ingredients to make those this weekend. Could get some nostalgia action!

Thought that was a typo there for a second, whew.

Tourneyment slow play is a corporate ad execs dream, 15 minutes between

Shots and TV space filled with logo's on hats, bags, and clothes.

"Go Tiger!"

"Great to have you back 'big cat'!" "You're the man!"

"TIGER WILL WIN THIS"

"He's back baby! YES!"

 

same people 1 round later

 

"It's just SOOOO wet out there"

Especially where most of his first and second shots were landing.

Turns out it's neither the arrow, nor the Indian, but the whole dang prairie.

I'm not normally a fan of the coverage when TW is in the field, wall to wall Tiger, but today, step forward Mr Woods. Sky have picked up the featured group and are showing JD, DJ and TW (and whoever else) live until 20:00 when the main coverage starts. 3 extra hours of golf.

[cvvorst]

Good way to start for Tiger. Great second shot, even if it rolled over the green.

 

Edit: Flared the first tee shot right, the second tee shot was in the fairway. Maybe he needs to hit first so he doesn't see Day and DJ? ;)

[DavePelz4]

Si Woo Kim with a nice bogey, bogey, bogey, bogey, double, bogey run to shoot a smooth 43 on his first nine.

 

Here's the best line from his play by play...

 

Shot 1 281 yds to unknown, 200 yds to hole

 

He and I could be cart partners...

What is this the antique road show?

[PutterKilledTheDream]

It's brutal out here boys- nit only is it cold but wind is whipping today.

And of course he follows it up with bogey

He WD yesterday citing a back injury. He's now WD from his last 3 tournaments at Mayakoba, Sony and now at Torrey because of the same issue. Sucks to have back issues at age 21.

It is seriously impressive that you know of his play and back issues.

Brutal, Brutal in California, I've heard it all now. I played South Shields yesterday, four layers on, woolly hat, mitts and I was still freezing. 0 degrees and a wind chill of -5. This morning at Billingham the greens were like bell metal and any ball landing on them just bounced way up in the air and off the back.

 

I'm watching the coverage now and I can see bare flesh and shadows. I haven't seen either of them on a golf course for 3 months.

Funny how it some players WD after 43 it's because of back issues and of others do it's advised of being because of, well, the 43.

Premature Tiger disliker after his first 23 holes in 15 months. "He's done."

Patience my clown friend, patience. Then we'll see. Who the heck knows how it'll turn out but we'll all be watching.

I agree,

no one knows. But I must say I didn't notice any "tap the brakes" posts directed at the "he's gonna win" crowd.

[bscinstnct]

Need a miracle to make the cut!

 

Weird, non of TW group is at the cut line.

 

Edit,

 

Ahhh, DJ gets to even with a birdie.

[DavePelz4]

For a guy who is ranked 663rd in the world, TW is doing well.

It's truly a sickness...gamers need to keep up on every guy in the field.

I had planned to move to California but the weather sucks.

Always nice to see Justin Rose playing well, and great to see Ollie Schniederjans in the hunt early. Hope they both stick around. Go Phil!
