Tiger will win 2014 Open

Will he be able to leave the driver in the bag?
I know it's not been bad weather but Hoylake in 06 was parched and solid - will he get the run he needs taking irons off the tee..?
He hates his driver. In fact he lives in fear of it. You'd have to pay him to take driver at Hoylake.
My tip GMac. But that is why I don't bet.

As opposed to it being declared that anyone who believes Woods won't win is stupid !

I mentioned a bet someone made - simple as that.

Some people think he will win some think he won't both are valid and acceptable opinions- neither are stupid and both opinions are valid.

Again you have misread something... What I said was anyone who believes Woods can't win is stupid!!!

Seriously Phillip read posts before you rush in to get another notch on that post count :thup:

Should have gone to specsavers :mmm:

No he won't, the course will be playing much longer this year and I think he will have little option other than to use driver on certain holes. Everyone knows driver is his weakness and I suspect this week it will be his nemesis.

You can never rule him out but I will be very surprised if he is in contention come Sunday afternoon.
 
Followed him for about 5 or 6 holes today, iron off every tee and all of them being his low "stinger" with a touch of draw. Was in perfect position on the fairway every time. However you could see his short game wasn't close to what he'd need to win.

Would never write him off as an e/w bet, but would be surprised if he won.

He has as much chance of winning as the any local pro or amateur who has qualified, however anyone who thinks he will win is deluded, he has no chance. He says he's hitting the ball well, I'm hitting the ball we'll but it didn't stop Liverbirdie taking some cash off me tonight.
 
press conference with Tiger today. He was asked "after long lay off whats an acceptable finish" Answer "1st, i play to win"


:clap:
 
to all the naysayers who question if his back will hold up to 4 rounds:rolleyes:


you do realise his 'back' has played more than 4 rounds this week:whistle:

and it's not a gruelling marine obstacle course, it's walking without carrying anything and swinging a golf club:smirk: something he's done since he was 2

......which has caused him to be injured for most of the last 6 years.

I wouldn't mind if he did well, I thought he spoke really well in his press conference yesterday. I don't think he'll win though.

If he managed to however it would be a story.

Would you fancy him if it wasn't at hoylake or st Andrews?
