However, but to put it still into context, if there were 3 fairways side by side with Kaymer on one, Sully on another and Tiger on the third, I would be over to Martin first, then Sully and if I couldn't get to see either of them, I'd go for beer 🍺😂👍🏌⛳️

You'd have no problem, Robin, 'cos most folk would be over watching Tiger.

For me, Kaymer's a bit dull and if I was watching Sullivan I'd end up throttling one of those plonkers that always follows him! :whistle:

I'm no hater but I've never warmed to him, he's to golf what Andy Murray is to tennis imo.

I've never been one for watching old clips of anyone, maybe because I only started playing after I was 50 and so although I know the names of many of the greats, I can't really relate to them in the same way or get exited by them in the same way as some of you all do with Tiger, possibly because you were playing when he was at the pinnacle of his game, but, I just watched the Chronicles of a Champion and saw him (Tiger) in a slightly different light and slightly changed my opinion of him.

Bogey free 65. Brilliant golf. That should silence the doubters a little, just needs to keep it going over the weekend.

Im a fully paid up fan boy, but currently he's only scoring as well as a few of them out there. Needs to get this whole week and a few more comps under his belt.

Just beucase people are are being realistic, doesn't make them doubters.

Pretty sure I have one of those t-shirts from a rave I once attended in the 80's 😳😂

Well done Tiger. Very good round but it needs to be followed up with two more this weekend

why does it?

its his first tournament back after more than a year out. I expect if you offer him 1 very good round, 3 ok rounds and to come out of it fit and healthy he'd be more than happy, but then mid handicappers on a forum clearly have different expectations of him

Agree with this. Great to see him play well again, it's been a long time. But the next two days he needs to be patient and take what comes, whether that been another 65 or a 70. He's shown today he still has it in him, to compete with the new breed.
 
He's got to be ecstatic after that performance today but I suppose he knew where his game was and that he had the form to compete coming into this, as opposed to the other comebacks where his game clearly hasn't been up to it.

I honestly thought it was over for him after the last breakdown but if he can get through the weekend looking good who knows where it'll lead..

What he doesn't need is a bad round - throwing a 76 in isn't going to do him any good at all.
Interesting to see that yesterday, to some, it was same old, same old and today, to some, he's back...

I think his biggest problem is that there's no competitive golf after this weekend until the New Year...he could do with a 3 week stint of Tournament play.
