Quicken Loans National @ TPC Potomac

[Ferguson]

Aller Tigre!

 

 

 

[BlackM00Nlight]

Tiger has hit every fairway and green in regulation through 5 holes.

Tiger has hit every fairway and green in regulation through 5 holes.

 

Uh... no.

 

The 2nd and the 4th

[BlackM00Nlight]

Then ESPN is off.

[nogamejames]

He definitely didn't hit that fairway...way left

[coozapalooza]

Then ESPN is off.

 

I think ESPN's scores have been very lacking.

 

During the US Open, I was watching the stream on the official site and one of my friends kept texting me about Tiger stuff that was wildly inaccurate in terms of stats and scores.

[FIRs&GIRs&3-Putts]

Hazard?

 

TT says front bunker.

[PuttLeftHitRight]

He just hit a 197 yard drive that did not get to the fairway...

[Frankensteins Monster]

Welp, there goes Tiger's week. On to the next tournament.

[mosesgolf]

TPC Potomac is not the ideal course for Tiger's game right now. That course is going to showcase Tiger's weaknesses.

Outside a major it’s one of, if not the toughest course they play.

Just tuning in. What happened here?

Ball in the hazard, lay up, two putt for double.

Pulled his tee shot left and caught a tree.

[jmck]

Thanks fellas, appreciate it.

[Apathy_Overdose]

Tiger getting absolutely pasted by bunch of C and D listers.

 

Very anticlimactic that this come back peaked this year in March.

[Creedo77]

What's with a par 5 that nobody can go for the green in 2 on?

 

Or is that just for today setup?

 

Hard hole

 

The bunker on the right is 310 to clear....back pin today so unless these guys have under 250 there’s too much trouble

 

Tomorrow the pin is front so a few big hitters may get on but it’s generally a lay up short of the hazard that runs 120 out from the green

[Creedo77]

On 6 he got so lucky to end up on the walking path

 

The course is just too tough and will only get more difficult with the sun baking on it

 

 

[Z1ggy16]

Watching Kyle Stanley shank a ball 10ft out of the rough today made me feel so good about myself. Even the pros make horrible mistakes every now and then. I just happen to make them.... often.

lmao you say that too early

[Apathy_Overdose]

Tiger has the Open, the PGA and maybe 2 fedex cup events left in the year. Do we really think he can do better than T2 in any of those?

 

I do think he'll have a great Ryder cup though.

[hell_is_chrome]

So what's the deal with the weak field? Course? Location? No one likes Tiger?

[Lagavulin62]

Just watching on the app, featured hole. Some Asian guy snapped his driver head off from frustration. It didn’t look all that bad to me. Did anybody see it? Think it was 14, that short par 4.

The course is just too tough

 

Leader is -7 lol

[tbowles411]

The course is just too tough

 

Leader is -7 lol

The course isn't playing tough yet. It's supposed to bake out this weekend. Mid- to high 90s. He's just missing fairways and greens. Still can't get any putts to drop.

[Creedo77]

The course is just too tough

That’s because it’s soft

 

I work at the course and caddied today...the low numbers won’t hold up through the week

 

I’ll also add that all the low numbers have come in the morning wave. I can’t see another 63 this week

[Creedo77]

So what's the deal with the weak field? Course? Location? No one likes Tiger?

 

It’s scheduled at the wrong time of the year

That would make it a wee bit difficult then.

Exactly. Just after the US Open, just before the British. Nice course, good support, but bad calendar placement.
