Tiger has been essentially perfect from the tee today.


No doubt, if he can dial in his irons, he has a pretty good chance to win this thing.

I think Tiger has 2-putted every hole today, even the birdy. If any of these start to fall, lookout.



Meh, he's putting solid rolls on them. It's his approach shots that are killing him. Only 1 putt that I can remember was really makable.

What the hell just happened on Bubba's tee shot. Live feed keeps skipping up a few seconds and then going back. Didn't seem like he liked it but it's in the middle of the fairway...but short of Phil

You don't WIN on the 1st day though. Lets see if he can string 4 rounds together. BTW what is he scoring?????

Well I mean obviously i'm making that assumptions based on him driving the ball well for the rest of the tourney, if he loses that, he doesn't have much of a chance. See: Bubba and Phil

Tiger and Phil got rather unlucky with those shots, both rolled off the back of the green.

Tiger is being super safe today. He'll be on the leader board Sunday if he keeps this strategy.

This first hole green is unfair, Tiger and Phil both landed their shots right at the front of the green with short irons and their balls rolled all the way off the back. How are you supposed to keep the ball on?

Tiger hit a great shot and for that not to be able to hold the green seems ridiculous.

I'm talking about trajectory. I can hit a SW 150, but it's not going to hop and stop. It's still 193 yards no matter what club he has.

First of all, you can't hit a SW 150 unless you are skulling it off a tee on purpose. Second of all they only carried the ball about 170 and then it rolled 60 feet. 170 yd 8 iron is a very easy swing for Tiger...
