And he bogeys the hole, which is pretty impressive considering he was hitting 3 off the tee. But you are right, Tiger's driver always gives him problems.
He's 195 of 206 on tour in distance from the fairway on fairway misses off the tee. Awful. He's not the longest guy out there anymore either.
Man, that's worse than awful. Thanks for pointing it out. Tiger really could stand to clean that sloppiness up.
It gets worse when you look at the rest of his off-the-tee stats (all out of 206):
Cantlay will still be 28th in the Ryder Cup standings after this week. The Top 8/Mickelson are not going anywhere, and Woods will almost certainly be number 10. Cantlay has a whole lot of work to do to get one of those final two spots over all the guys ahead of him including Webb Simpson and Kooch.
Yes he is. I wonder if he has a chopper to get to the course since it's about an hour from Shinnecock and the traffic will be terrible.
Sounds good. Don't like this paragraph
I'm not opposed to a little more time in the wind, but I am talking on line of more seconds, but the worst of all on the PGA tour are the days where wind is a factor, and you have guys sitting there for 4 minutes waiting for the wind to do exactly what they want it to do before they are willing to tee off
Isn’t that basically the edge? Seems like 15 tour wins or 3 majors is needed to seal the deal. He probably wins a couple more tour events and ends up a no-doubter but it feels like he needs a nudge as things stand. Ditto for Zach Johnson.
Especially since Bubba is not exactly the best-liked player among his peers or those within the game. He's the kind of guy that one would think needs to make it a no-brainer. I'd agree that a third major or 15 wins would make it as much.
