Quoted from Mando:Had Koepka made his put there sure would have been.
Pretty sure Tiger knew Koepka missed that put going into his second shot hence the conservative layup. He could have hit a cut shot into the green if he needed to be aggressive, draw wasn’t an option with tree branch issues.
I thought it was a highly entertaining back 9 all around, maybe some of the most movement on the leader board in a long time.
Quoted from Mando:Oh no doubt , but it would have forced him to play a better shot into the green .
I was hoping he would stay aggressive to eliminate any chance of a playoff. He exhibited his course knowledge and wisdom several times on the back 9 yesterday. Xander really had some bad iron shots and putts down the stretch which if he had the knowledge of the course could have made it really interesting, he was at -12 when it unraveled for him.
Quoted from gliebig:Not a fan of his. Seems to arrogant.
Same feeling here, don’t like the guy.
Quoted from jamesmc:Tiger's got probably 5 years of majors as a favorite left. 19 more tourneys to win 3 or 4. Pebble Beach up next where he has an advantage over everyone but Dustin Johnson. So much local knowledge there. And 4 more years at Augusta. He wins 3 or 4 more, it will be. But until then, we're all on a sugar high from today.
Edit. PGA is next. First time played before US Open since the 40s. Those New York crowds at Bethpage (too many crazies to call a gallery) will go nuts. He has a serious chance to win first 3 this year.
If Tiger can drive it like this past weekend and not miss as many 3-6 foot putts as he did on day 1-2 he is back to being almost unbeatable. He sinks some of those easy putts in the early rounds, he beats or gets very close to his best -18 finish at the masters. Really a solid tournament for him.
Quoted from gliebig:Has anyone ever seen Poulter win a tournament? Does it seem like that dude always shits the bed on Sunday?
He really fell apart, I was amazed at how bad Finau and Molinari shit the bed after the turn. There had to be tremendous pressure playing with Tiger and the fan support he was getting. I kept saying of Molinari on the front 9, when is this SOB going to miss a putt! He was like 20/20 scrambling going into 12.
Quoted from ccbiggsoo7:only when you excel at a sport is it ok to be a no good pos. what a scumbag off the greens!
10-20 years ago most would agree but the guy hit rock bottom personally and with his health. Not the same guy off the greens these days and it’s nice to see a reformed Tiger. More of a family man now and very friendly with the players on the course and in the clubhouse. Couldn’t say that back in the day, wouldn’t even talk to most of them.
Quoted from xsvtoys:You are right on this one and this was forgotten in all the fuss. He missed a number of really makable and fairly short putts over the course of the tournament. If he makes even half of those it’s possible he would have just run away with this one.
Yep..they were almost writing him off after round 2 because his putting inside 8ft was like 84th out of 87 players and 8-15 feet was ranked around 49th. Putts over 15 feet he was ranked number 1.
He did improve all around putting over the weekend but yeah, he makes half those missed short putts and it’s a run away.
