Tiger - Plenty of work to do

[HomerJSimpson]

Woods +3 after 7 and playing some very ordinary shots.

what did you expect after the length of time hes had out injured, change of coach etc ?

Not sure really. I hoped he'd come back firing and that the coach would have him playing with confidence. Duffed bunker shot and duffed chips inexcusable really at his level

Sigh! ! 7 holes in after a long troubled injury layoff and the gloaters can't wait to revel in his failings!

Justin rose putted off the green. Doh

Not at all, least from my point of view. Was merely make an observation

Just seen a few shots and I think his swing looks good. Had a bad break on the 13th, landing pretty close but then rolling back off the green.

I think he'll work the rust out and soon play better than he did before the layoff.

 

[pokerjoke]

His swing looks quite good and the commentators are actually liking it.
They have also mentioned he has gained 4mph swing speed since his comeback.

Seeing him duff his chip gives hope to every player who plays golf for fun,if it
can happen to the best it can happen to all.

 

[Ethan]

Oh. My. God. What a horror show with the chipping. I don't care for him, but I really don't want to see that.

 

[garyinderry]

who! that is just crazy short game stuff!! just dumping the leading edge into the ground.

Woods will be back amongst the challengers now - he will compete and prob win the odd PGA event but think there are far too many top players competing for the majors now - he doesn't stand out now.

Swing looking decent, short game well rusty wouldn't of expected it to have gone quite so much but there was always going to be some ups and downs after such a long injury break and swing change. Pretty sure he will win again though.

 

[Deleted member 15344]

They are the worst chips I have seen a pro do - really poor - 4 duffs !!

 

[HomerJSimpson]

I'm shocked. Of all the things he would have been able to work on as he recovered would have been the short game and his is as bad as mine on this evidence

 

[OldMate]

I don't think that he looked too bad at all, aside from the horrible chipping. I hope that it doesn't get into his head going forward. Flubbing chips is about as bad as having the *****s in my opinion.

 

[JCW]

May as well give up , No way is he catching Fred Funk never mind Rory , time to retire and make a comeback on the seniors tour :thup:

 

[Stuey01]

He hit the driver long and in the fairway. That has been his Achilles heal in recent times, big improvement there. The chips were brutal but that won't last. He had a lot of birdie chances today, just didn't make any. Rustiness is to be expected.

it was worse than I expected, on the scorecard, but I think there were positives there. Would not be surprised to see him put a good round together 1 day this tournament. He'll be nowhere near the leaders, but I could see a good round coming from him.

 

[Martin70]

Bound to be rusty. Better now than in a few months too.

I really hope Richard has seen it.....he might actually compliment me on my short game after seeing Woods :rofl:

I only saw him consistently fat them Gordon. Did I miss him sculling one across the green as well ?
