Anyone else watch golf for the first time in a long time today? He seems to be getting back to form. He was right in it today, next week is Bay Hill, that dude lived on the course for a LONG time. [Reply]

Yeah thats a brain fart he was at 129 with Driver 108 with and iron out of the rough. [Reply]
So he's probably the 40th best golfer in the world. If that.
Remember when he got all those kids into golf, and a record number of kids started golfing? Well, those kids are all in their prime right now. The guys he has to beat are better than Mark O'Meara and Fuzzy Zoeller. [Reply]
If you throw a healthy, competitive Tiger back in the mix along with Spieth, Thomas, Johnson, McIlroy, Day, Rahm, Garcia, and Mickelson, golf could be must-see TV for the foreseeable future. [Reply]

He also lacked iron play that could have put him in better position to make more putts, but thought it was an impressive first outing regardless. [Reply]

Yeah the shot into 18 is the one in particular where I thought he was going to stick it...came off that bomb on 17, hit a good drive, and then hit 35 ft. to the left of a gettable hole location. [Reply]

Well he was 200 yards away. Didn't exactly leave himself an easy iron shot off the drive. [Reply]
And I was fooled again! Gets within 1 and pulls a drive out of bounds on 16-- a hole he birdied 3 times this week. Mentally, this guy will never get back. It's always one choke after the other. [Reply]

One choke after the other. What is this, like his fourth tournament since having spinal fusion surgery?
This guy has NO business even contending at this point and he's outplaying a number of guys.
