[Frasier Crane]

THAT WAS A RIDICULOUS PUTT!!! Tiger at -5!!!

[Doyouevenblade]

BDE!

[Golfnutgalen]

Weird putting round actually. Made a ton of 10-30 footers and missed about 5 putts inside 8 feet.

 

Also, YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

taking a page out of Jordan Speith's playbook? LOL

[Frasier Crane]

WOW.... Tiger gets the lucky bounce off the tree... then stuffs the 8 iron for a birdie putt!

[Frasier Crane]

29 on the back (front) 9.... dunks that birdie putt for a two shot lead!!!

[Frasier Crane]

I guess this course is playing difficult.... they just said only 19 players under par!

[aenemated]

Man, what a round.

With a par on a par 5! Great recovery after ther first 3 holes. Hope he keeps it up.

[Golfnutgalen]

Great start for Tiger, 64 with 9 birdies!! He doesn't have the official solo lead yet though, Hideki or Gary could technically catch him.

[Hawkeye77]

“Tiger, do you think Hideki can win the Masters?”

 

 

[Hawkeye77]

LOL, Steiny is annoying just walking and pointing.

FIFY.

[Steele47]

Can't believe the coverage starts so late.

[flushem]

The course looks so classy and immaculate. It looks like putting is quite tricky.

[jmvargas]

the gallery is unbelievable for an opening day..kinda reminds me of the Masters---"in Japan golf is not a sport..it's a religion!!"

[Kevinnz]

Man, go tiger!

[Hankshank]

This is going to get Tiger Crazy again...

Yep, can't believe they didn't tow Japan a few thousand miles to the west!

[Hawkeye77]

Basic out for some exotic meal last night and still having some kind of food and alcohol induced coma?

 

Where is THE pic?

Ever get a turkey? That's the new definition of one under par on any hole, at least according to USA Today. What a stupid rag. I'll stick to birdie.

He looks healthy, in cold weather. That’s all I care about. The weather is going to be so bad the next couple of days, you can’t really determine much. But that’s why I love Tiger, he never gives up. Even after a horrendous start, he still grinds it out and then catches fire.

There is nothing weird about that. This is how Tiger has been putting for well over a decade. Look up the stats he makes more putts in 15f - 20 ft range t putts than under 5ft - 10ft range. He lost his nerve ever since 2009 and does not overthinks the makeable putts.

[MattyO1984]

Delighted to see but surprised to see Tiger going so low. I woke up in the early hours UK time and checked to see that he had started with three bogeys and my first thought was, yeah he is done. Fairly changed my mind on that one now.

[bscinstnct]

Ha, man, when TW gets it rollin right...
