The doubters have gone a bit quiet.

Looking ok so far. Putting not great, but its no worse than any one elses.

He still has that weird dip in his swing. I was hoping that might have been ironed out by now.

The acid test will be his mental side when the wheels fall off, can he put a bad hole immediately behind him or will doubt start to creep in and........Boooom :smirk:

We still talking about Tiger Woods, not a 12hc who plays the front 9 in level par and panics?

Under the circumstances I thought that was a good 5
 
I suppose overall we got what most expected a bit of good and a bit of bad.

Boy oh boy though didn't he looked drained at the end of his round.

Can he do the 4 rounds?im not so sure but I enjoyed watching him play again.
 
well after the start he had i was hoping that he could keep it going ,or at worst finnish a couple under par .bit of a train crash back nine and he did look physically knackered at the end ,mrs Radd said she hadnt seen him sweat like that ever.
 
-4 thru 8 was pretty good, 4 x 6's in the last 10 not so good.

Long road to teavel for him to get back but he deffo looked like he is now swinging well within himself which is what he needs to do if we wants to continue playing for any length of time.

Only time will tell if he can re-discover a razor sharp short game which is what he's gonna need to win now he's not bomving it 350+ off the tee.
 
Some good stuff and some rustiness. Thought some of the pitching and bunker play was off but the swing looked solid and he didn't seem to be lashing at the ball. Plenty to work with going forward I'd have thought
 
Looked promising for a while, and he should be happy considering the lay off. For 7-8 holes he looked fantastic. He's lost quite a bit of weight as well. Obviously has a new training routine. If he can stay fit, he can compete again.
 
As a fan, I was happy enough with that. Enough good stuff to be encouraged he can compete again and even though he looked drained by the end he didn't look to be in any pain. I think that's a win.
 
Think it's exactly what most would expect - start on a bit of adrenaline and then reality hits and the rust starts and he ends up only being above someone who is struggling to walk and is miles behind the leader. Doesn't seem much different to the last comeback. Feel sorry a bit for the leader who played wonderfully yet nothing about him from the guys in the studio.

Definitely looked pain free and swinging far more within himself. I was surprised at how quickly he ran out of juice. I wonder if that was the competitiveness taking more out of him, possibly mentally, especially as the short game was perhaps the weakest part still. Still a good(ish) start
 
When you take part in a tournament hosted by the biggest name to play the game on is long awaited comeback,you know you're not going to get much attention from the guys in the studio.
I wouldn't feel too sorry for the round 1 leader Phil,I doubt he'll be losing much sleep over it 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
