Tiger Tiger Burning Bright

He's back ..........

Arnold Palmer Invitational - News Report

It will be interesting to see how he gets on in the Masters in a few weeks time.

 

[Tommo21]

I don’t know why he won it. The time he, and others, was taking for each shot was way beyond reasonable expectation. I only found out this morning who won as I switched off with boredom waiting on someone to play a shot……………practice swing, practice swing, practice swing, look up to the trees, practice swing, walk up to the ball, line up, walk away from the ball, practice swing, practice swing, half practice swing, walk up to the ball, line up and there you go. That wasn’t hard FFS. The only problem, I fell asleep.

All the kids see this and they’re now doing it.

 

[Macster]

I have liked him NOT being around tbh, but, .......you just cant take anything away from him, his desire to win is simply higher than everyone else's it seems.

 

[birdieman]

Like Tommo I bailed out when they were at 14th and went to bed, time being taken to play was unbelievable.

Intimidation of taking on Tiger was too much for young O'Hair it seems. Woods impressive to win from 5 back, O'Hair less impressive to lose fom 5 ahead.

Tiger certainly is back, if he can drive it better this year he could win everything!

 

[HTL]

Very impressed with his iron play but his Driving was still wild. I reckon he is looking good for the Masters.

Switched off about the 9th hole, could not take any more “GET IT IN THE HOLE” etc.

I know some hate him but it was exciting to watch. I stopped watching at the 14th too and came back fortuneatly just in time to see them play 18. I'm not sure why but no-one makes golf as exciting. I'm really looking forward to the Masters now and its on the BBC so no adverts! If only they had directional microphones so you only heard the strike and player/caddy talking not the inane wailings of the crowd.

I too wish someone would time some of these players and give them a warning once they are taking to long to play a shot.

Tiger is the best brilliant to watch, people go on about his swing his iron play which is beautiful but he is the best clutch putter there has ever been.

 

[bobmac]

he is the best clutch putter there has ever been.

There wasn't much evidence of that in the last few Ryder Cups he has played in (thank goodness)

 

[freddielong]

I know he doesn't seem as driven for team events which you would think he would be, I think its because he can not control the situation like he can in a singles event. the putts he held on 16 & 18 last night you knew they were in before he hit them the golfing world is now back to normal

 

[bobmac]

Unfortunatly

 

[golf_bug]

I saw the first hole yesterday when he was 5 shots down, and as soon as Sean O Hair came on and said he is not worried about Tiger, I knew Tiger would win. When you havethe worlds best player on your tail, you have to have god like confidence to not let it phase you.
It sounds like Tiger's putting won the day. I wish I could putt.......

 

[bobmac]

I wish I could putt.......

Patience Bug, patience

 

[freddielong]

You have to love that - imagine being so good that everyone else just fades away because you are there next to them they know that you know that you will beat them.
I must admit that the get in the holers are annoying - They should be put against a wall bent over with there trouser around there ankles and have tiger hit balls at them with big steve shouting get in the hole,I am sure that would stop it

 

[bobmac]

It would have to be a biggg wall.
I'm not suggesting that Tiger would miss a small wall but..
.....have you seen the size of some of those guys AND they wear shorts.

 

[Marko77]

I thought Tiger was going to do his knee in again with his celebration!!

What a way to win with birdie on the final hole. I normally like O'Hair but like others here was really fed up with the time he was taking to play shots plus the detailed discussion he and his caddy were having. To me it looked like he froze on the occassion.

Maybe it was just the coverage but it definately looked to be O'Hair that was slowing the group down.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

It showed me just how one dimensional a lot of the US guys in particular were in their shot making when the wind blew. That was what took the time as they waited for it to die so they could hit a normal shot. No-one seemed to even fancy trying a low punch or something a bit creative.

I think it was a decent Tiger performance and he certainly played the conditions the best but I thought O'Hair relinquished any chance on the opening few holes where he looked lie a rabbit in headlights.

 

[Smiffy]

I will be very surprised if Tiger finished in the top 5 at the Masters

 

[Dodger]

I'd be very suprised if Tiger finishes outside the top 1 at Augusta.

Game on.
Tenner on it?

 

[Dodger]

I've got more than that on it pal.
