I meant that he used to be so good he could play poorly and still be in contention, now he's down in the pack like everyone else. Hitting that flagstick was a bad break, but tiger's been real lucky in the past too, with numerous pitch in's and the like. Wasn't it in the last masters, his ball was heading OB and miraculously hit something and stayed in?
I agree. Somebody here the other day was saying that is how the course is always played and they have shot 76 there. While I am sure it's a hard course year round, they did make changes for the tourn and they did speed up the greens. I'm sure whoever it was did shoot a 76 on a regular week but Id be really suprised if there was a poster here that could shoot 76 On any of the 4 days there this week. A lot of the players did not like the set up cause it was so manipulated with pin positions etc....zach Johnson was prob the most critical of that. And he likes harder courses
He certainly wasn't the best the past few yrs , surely u agree?
Agree with everything else u said . The most shocking for me were his collapses while in contention on the weekend in last yrs majors- totally out of character . Mental breakdown from one of the games' strongest minds. He's 40th on tour in driving distance - ouch . These kids can out bomb him. But if he can win one major soon, the belief may litter back then look out Jack. Foolish Rory left Titliest, the kid with the marvelous swing , an enormous talent and one to take the battalion from the balding , aging Woods has been MIA. The game needs Rory .
I agree, he has not been the best over last couple years but with what he has done this year it's obvious the physical part of his game is back and I think right now he has to be considered the best on tour at this time. But until he gets the mental aspect of his game fine tuned he will never get back to where he was. But he will never be the dominant player he once was even if he got the level of his game back to where it was years ago because the competition now is much greater. And I agree golf needs players like Rory to step up to continue to be as popular as it is.
Westwood had the bad break, but overall I don't think it was a big deal other than I think it would be weird to not be able to see the wind blowing the flags. I don't know that it would be weird, just think it may be a little different. I would imagine the caddies had something on every hole where they could get the wind.......I thought they looked cool as hell though.
I know he hasnt won a major (still 2 left this year btw) but if 4 wins out of 10 tourn entered this year is not dominating golf, what is the def of dominating golf?
Your probably the only one that thinks Tiger is dominating .. When he was dominating, he was dominating, winning majors, winning tournaments by wide margins.... thats not happening anymore.. he still can dial it up on B events on courses he knows very well, but lets not get carried away here.. Your sounding like a guy living in the past bro
