The Open Championship- Carnoustie

[BigMike]

Tiger ‘effed in that trap.

Again gets a perfect lie. He probably can't get to green but much better off than it could be and should be able to advance

 

[cshea]

He is going for this?

 

[Light-Tower-Power]

Oh shit he's going for it.

 

[RedOctober3829]

If Tiger gets on the green here....

 

[DJnVa]

Here we go...

 

[Average Reds]

Again gets a perfect lie. He probably can't get to green but much better off than it could be and should be able to advance

He can get it in play easily. If he’s tempted to go for it, he brings a lot of trouble into play.

Edit: oh my.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Tiger fucking Woods ladies and gentleman.

 

[cshea]

Holy fuck

 

[DJnVa]

WOW

 

[MillarTime]

Wow Tiger is back

 

[PaulinMyrBch]

Damn, don’t play sandie’s with Tiger.

 

[RedOctober3829]

That’s unbelievable

 

[johnmd20]

El Tigre.

 

[steveluck7]

Vintage!!! Unreal shot

 

[Kenny F'ing Powers]

Fucking muscled that up. That is old school Tiger power, baby!

 

[Zomp]

That’s a tiger in his prime swing.

 

[BigMike]

Honestly it is a one in a million to get 3 lies like that in a row in bunkers here. It really is his day

 

[Comfortably Lomb]

Tiger Woods just made a Tiger Woods shot. When is the last time he did something like that?

 

[steveluck7]

Those are the types of shots he used to hit that would just demoralize his playing partners

 

[johnmd20]

Man, two shots and then another commercial. This is relentless.

 

[PaulinMyrBch]

Jordan’s swing tempo seems off. Last few iron swings don’t seem like his normal rhythm

 

[canderson]

They spend hours on the course during non-playing time, in the mornings, during practice rounds, all week, marking off distances.

Edit: So for example, they'll know it's X amount of yards to a bunker or whatever, and then they'll just mark it off from there to the ball, etc.

They have the coverage of him, don't worry. Every hole is covered.

Part of the preparation for caddies is they walk the course (in the week before the tournament) and create their own yardage books using benchmarks in the fairways and around the greens to allow them to give fairly precise yardages for every shot.

Thanks all - makes complete sense now.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

I'm as fired up about this shit as I have been for any Sox Series, Pats Super Bowl, etc. I need Tiger to finish this off.

 

[CarolinaBeerGuy]

I feel like I’m back in college watching Tiger. I’m 37 years old.

 

[shawnrbu]

They won't even need to show Xander's shots in about 30 minutes.

 

[Light-Tower-Power]

This. I don't know if I've ever watched golf and rooted so strongly before in my life.

 

[BigSoxFan]

Go Tiger!

 

[cshea]

Man he got that inside Frankie

 

[DJnVa]

Tiger ended up closer than Molinari.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

They won't even need to show Xander's shots in about 30 minutes.

I predicted they would be done showing his shots after the 7th hole, before they teed off. Pretty proud of that right now.

 

[Catcher Block]

Man, two shots and then another commercial. This is relentless.

The whole "playing through" thing has empowered them to show more commercials since they're not missing action. It's almost worse than football.

 

[PayrodsFirstClutchHit]

I am rooting for a Rory - Tiger - Spieth playoff.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Molinari's putt moved right at the hole, and Tigers' putt moved right from the other side. Odd.

 

[RedOctober3829]

I am rooting for a Rory - Tiger - Spieth playoff.

That would be amazing

 

[Deathofthebambino]

I am rooting for a Rory - Tiger - Spieth playoff.

If this goes to a playoff and Tiger is involved, I might not make it.

 

[PaulinMyrBch]

9 under going into 15 would probably do it. Needs a birdie somewhere and then on the par 5. And then it’s straight survival mode.

 

[Comfortably Lomb]

Taylor Made only sells Tiger's putter in red. His black one must be a one off. Do they not like money?

 

[johnmd20]

I am rooting for a Rory - Tiger - Spieth playoff.

Man, that's almost way too much to ask. Almost.

 

[johnmd20]

9 under?

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Alright which SoSHer was that?

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Tempting fate the last few holes.

 

[Average Reds]

If Tiger can beat Pepperell, I think he wins. Back nine will be brutal in this wind.

 

[Comfortably Lomb]

Tiger's swing is getting squirrelly.

 

[CarolinaBeerGuy]

Commercial breaks every 6-7 minutes is really wearing on me.

 

[Phragle]

I'm never buying a jeep after this

 

[johnmd20]

Tiger's swing is getting squirrelly.

Every golfer on the leaderboard is squirrelly right now.

 

[cshea]

Lucky break there

 

[johnmd20]

That was horrendous Tiger.

 

[shawnrbu]

Falls out of a tree and lands on his feet.

 

[Average Reds]

Man, you could not be more right about the breaks @BigMike.
