My take on him is that his swing has a LOT of moving parts, which leads to his Army golf. It didn't matter when he went on his run, because he was making everything he looked at on the greens. Putter eventually cooled off a bit, and so did he.

I do wonder whether Tiger, as great as his imagination and shotmaking skills are, overplays some shots...

yeah, it does ... it's not a simple swing ... some timing issues ...

All aboard the Tiger birdie train!!!

[jdl]

Sneds has chipped in twice from the thick rough and now plays 18 off the beach. Amazing to only be 1 over.

[buckeye440]

Nothing better than those right to left putts

[rafal]

Spieth's comeback train won't make it to the station for another week....

[tiderider]

btw - screw cbs and their commercials ...

[Potatohead]

Stuck at work. According to CBS leaderboard there are about seven groups on #8

[buckeye440]

Rosie looking good. Got the putter rolling and dialed in with the irons.

That's the curse of the shotmaker sometimes. They'll pick the hardest shot choice just to see if they can pull it off. See: P.M.

That said, Woods is pretty pragmatic when it comes to shot selection. Phil on the other hand.....

Joe Buck.....coverage was great until you came on.

 

He talks about golf like a once-a-year hacker. He just cannot BELIEVE a birdie is possible from the rocks on 18.

[Mikey5e]

Maybe Sned should play from the beach more often?

Amazing that this narrative is still alive. When he went on his run, I believe he was #1 on Tour approaching the green. He got to where he was with his best-in-the-world iron play and above average driving and putting.

Agree. He was an exceptional putter ~25 feet, other than that mainly above average

Something isn't right with him. On Tuesday of the Memorial he hit a bag of balls and walked off the range in pain, headed to get it worked on.

[Frasier Crane]

IMO, it feels like Tiger has lost the fade shot a little bit since he was working so hard on the draw for the Masters. Horrible double cross on that double bogey, great draw stinger off the tee right there.

[bladehunter]

Dang it Jordan.

He reminds me of that scene in Planes, Trains and Automobiles: "Everything's not an anecdote. You have to discriminate. You choose things that are funny or mildly amusing or interesting. You're a miracle. Your stories

have none of that."

 

 

[Frasier Crane]

WOW... Tiger incredibly lucky there! Should've lost it right, got a left bounce!!!

Just not the case. His swing before they made it flatter was as simplistic as a mouse trap.

[LeftArmBender]

Damnit Fox....depriving us of the inevitable Spieth whine fest when he found out his ball was in the hazard.

 

Probably woulda been a top 5 moment all week.

 

"It was a four iron....a FOUR IRON...."

[WidespreadPanic]

Wow. Spieth just launched Greller under the bus.

[755]

How long till Jordan has a new caddy?

[JaNelson38]

I've grown quite tired of Jordan Spieth's schtick.

[mshills]

Forward AND reverse.

 

[BeTheRightClubToday]

Spieth: "We" when it's going well, "You" when it's going poorly.

[MizzyMan]

Umm.....perfect shots don't go too far as to reach the hazard nor do they sail over the green.

[Boydr12]

Now we see why Jordan says all this “we” nonsense... so he can blame Greller when things go south

[LeftArmBender]

Not even blade hunter can defend this one.

 

wait, yeah he can
