That does sound like a fun trip

Tiger shoots a -3, 69 today, 1 back of Watney, Kim, O'Hair, and Charlie Wi.

Good Opening round for him, didn't really hit the irons well today and managed to score a little bit, Today is his 5th day in a row playing, I wonder how his body will hold up.


ETA: Charlie Wi now takes the lead at -5 by himself. Wasn't he the guy that had the lead at Pebble a few weeks ago and played terrible?


Coverage starts at 3ET on Golf Channel if anyone is gonna watch later.

This afternoon wave kinda sucks, the only person I care to watch is Bubba and maybe Jim Furyk.

Just went through shottracker on Tiger's round. Solid one.

Some incredible putts and a few of them from being right in the lead.

Tomorrow should be great.

Yeah he had 2 three putts for bogey, had 32 putts today, can't get much worse. I don't know if he wins or not here but he'll be in the mix for sure, always plays well at this course.

ETA: I think the amount of putts today was a result of him hitting some not so great iron shots, he was 30ft + from the hole on quite a few greens.


Of the players on the course now, Dufner at -4, and Romero, Watson at -3

Dufner at -4,


I'm too lazy to look back (wow, that's bad), but somebody earlier today picked Dufner as a dark horse.

He's definitely playing well today. It's always interesting to see the guys that shoot really well the first 2 days and then not so much on the weekend.

Just goes to show you guys like Rory, Tiger and Phil really have (have had in Tiger's case) the ability to put 4 rounds together.

It's crazy to me that some of the younger players have a win or 5 or 6 and they are considered great players, but only a few of them have actually contended in majors.

Then you have Tiger with 71, Phil with 40+ and Rory will certainly be 30, possibly 40+ eventually and he already has a Major under his belt and played well before the final round at the Masters.

Dufner has been pretty solid the last couple weeks.

Here's my CSB:

Last year at the Zurich, my kids had to stop by the port-o-pottys. While they were finishing up, Jason Dufner hit a ball in the pine straw right near us. We stood right next to the ball and got to watch him hit from extremely close up. I didn't really know him, but by the end of the year he was choking away the PGA. I know him now.

Well I was just reading an article about the round and apparently Dufner has led 2 tourneys after the 1st round during the Florida swing and hasn't finsihed better than 10th, I wonder if he'll be able to do any better this week.
