Thanks!

 

Man, that fist pump needs work ; )

 

He's trying to make the cut, not win the '05 Masters, BSC ;)

 

Yeah, but the fist pump come first. You get the fist pump, then, you got the attitude

It's not looking good for making the cut. It looks, at least IMO, that he's trying to hard. It's sure not the same swing we saw at the Hero. If he keeps going at it this hard...........well I don't wish any harm, just saying............ :scare2:

 

He is definitely proving that the back is fine, he is putting everything into those swings. What I don't understand is why?

 

Surely he doesn't need to try and knock the cover off the ball, just dial it back a bit, find the fairway, find the green, find the bottom of the cup.......easy.

 

Because distance is one of the most valuable golfing skills. It is one of the primary factors for why he was so good in the first place. If you want him to hit it like Andrew Landry or Brian Gay, that is who he will end up playing like.

Absolutely. The game isn’t played that way anymore. If he isn’t long he doesn’t compete.

[eddie_max]

Nothing better than seeing Rahm 3 putt. What a joy.

[buckeyefl]

Was Rahm just bitching at the camera man to get the camera off of him? Sure looked like it. Of course the announcers simply laughed it off.

there are plenty of golfers doing well that are not super long.

Phil's making a big move today. I'd like to see Tiger make the cut I don't think it's gonna happen. He just doesn't have it yet.

Who's Andrew Landry?

I'm not asking him to do anything.

I couldn't give a s*** what he does. Mine was simply a question as to why he doesn't dial it back a bit and keep the ball in play, a bit like everyone says Phil should.

Is he even capable of dialling it back? I don't know.

Tiger coming in...

 

[cvhookem63]

Birdie at 5. Needs to play the last 4 in -1 or better to make the cut

[Darth Putter]

Tiger coming in...

 

 

[cvhookem63]

Tee shot with 3 wood on the 6th tee is 40 yards offline...

Tiger coming in...

 

 

 

Need a little bit of this coming in

 

 

[QuigleyDU]

just made a birdie to get to even. he has time to make it.

[nochct1]

The last two days Tiger has been Doug the open stance aim left and play a fade/slice. At the Hero he wasn't doing that. But it's been a common thing over the last several years.

[Darth Putter]

-1 is T69 so I think he's going to need two birdies.

[irvnasty]

Vintage flop shot from Tiger.

Looks absolutely beautiful out there...

[cvhookem63]

Approach is short. Beautiful flop shot from the rough to a couple of feet for par.

Phil! (covers eyes)

I really don't know anything about Palmer, but something about the way he stands at address really annoys and bothers me.

He doesn’t dial it back and keep it in play because it doesn’t work that way. Distance and accuracy are not inversely correlated. Swinging slower will not increase accuracy keeping all else constant.

[sandy]

Is tiger using twisty face technology? Or did he stick with the M2 from last year which is producing a smooth 42% accuracy through 15 holes.

I mean, I'd love to see Tiger slice an 8 iron 40-50 yards offline...

So you say but I know that if I could be bothered, and I can't, I could find video of Butch Harmon talking about how on the range Phil would dial the driver back and hit 'straight' shots and how Butch would beg Phil to take that swing to the course, knowing full well that he wouldn't.

 

Sure enough Phil would go out there and swing as hard as he could, spraying it all over and in the studio (Sky) the presenters would laugh at Butch and his exasperation.

 

I'll take Butch's word for it thanks.

[LeftyLuck]

was that a gbb epic iron phil just hit?

If Tiger makes the cut he will have earned it. This has been a grind all damn day.

Sg off the tee 24th, i think he is driving it just fine
