Tiger will win 2014 Open

[Imurg]

Get a grip will you....

Who said that..?
Not me.
I'm happy to see anyone playing a decent shot - I think they've got it right today on the whole.
We see Tiger when he plays a decent shot but we don't see him when he's just making pars - because that's not interesting.
What is interesting is watching those in contention with a chance of winning.
Show those further down if there's something of interest.
It's been quite refreshing....

So Woods is pretty much propping up the table of those who've made the cut, yet still goes out in the last group (granted off the 10th)??

Is this a bit of favoritism from the R&A?

You're joking right?

 

[Duckster]

You're joking right?

Was before I knew about the "U" draw for two tee starts.

 

[Captainron]

Glad that Tiger is back and playing but even happier that he isn't close to contending.

Will be finished before the contenders tee off.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Will be finished before the contenders tee off.

No doubt we'll get to see the majority of his closing holes though. Not sure tomorrow will be a classic with such a big lead for McIlroy but he's blown them before although he looks to be fully in control. What's the forecast?

Woods is so slow.

Approach to the 18th and he had 8 practice swings after a protracted discussion with his caddy. He then proceeded to hook it into the rough, 40 yards short.

I wonder if he would have done any better if he'd just walked up, got the yardage, pulled a club and whacked it? We will never know but whatever, he sets a very poor example to his fanboys. 8 practice swings is absolutely unnecessary and just wastes time yet you can imagine Woods acolytes watching it and then mimicking the behaviour.

Just fell short 20 shots behind

So is it safe to say now - No he wont win the 2014 Open

Faldo commented about Tigers practice swings,was pretty much saying it didn't feel natural so needed to get a feel

Woods finishes at 6 over ( 3 over today ) - question in the OP answered

Still made the cut and in doing so had a better week than the current Masters champion and the likes of Lee Westwood, not bad after a long lay off really.

I'll agree with this.

He's had a better tournament than most who haven't been injured and been in better form.

 

[Imurg]

Assuming he plays a few more events before the USPGA, after that will be the time to judge.

 

[DAVEYBOY]

He's playing in the Bridgestone but that's all before the PGA I believe.

It was interesting listening to Faldo talking about him and how he walked off the practice ground on to the first tee and still needed six practice swings to get the feel for his swing.

Tiger was talking beforehand about having made some small changes following his op but nothing you could really notice. This week makes you wonder just how small those changes really were.

They were saying on 5Live that h hasnt managed 4 rounds in the 60's in a major since 08 - i thought he had in the masters one year but as they were saying on the telly - he just looks to have no control over the ball , the driving is going to cost him in majors and the field is so strong now.

I think his body was dragged through that 1st round on fumes and the thrill of it being a major - before it didnt matter what others do - if he played well he won - now he also needs others to play poorly.

He didn't need others to play poorly during his 5 wins last season, let's see how he plays when he is competition ready again :thup:
