Come on Kuch! Rory is playing pretty damn well. I love watching these super aggressive young golfers that fire at any pin position.
Come on Rory my flower!!!
I think Rory will pull a Peyton Manning and choke by Saturday’s back nine at most. I like Choi to make a strong run. Come on Lefty!

Tiger and Federer are finished, way too soon

Agreed. I also expect from Tiger a full-strength second push to pass JN’s 18 majors. That’s a record no question he’d like to get. Realizing he will soon be in the last stage of his career would be enough motivation to put his mental game together again.
What age is tiger now about 35 or so, I doubt at this stage in his career he will be able to break Jacks record, unless he performs top notch and wins alot of the next few majors. But he still has a chance, and you never know he might still win this, but he is pushing on…

But he still has > a chance, and you never know he might still win > this, but he is pushing on… He’s 35 and in the middle of a major overhaul of his swing. He did a major overhaul of his swing in 2003/2004 and has won 6 majors since then. It’s certainly possible that we have seen the end of Tiger as a major champion, but I don’t think I’d put money on it. As I said before, I won’t consider 18 to be safe until Tiger turns 40 and has 16 or less. If McIlroy wins this week, I believe he’ll be a few months younger than Tiger when he won his first major, so we could be talking about another run at the record in 10 years.
Check out Freddie “Boom Boom” Couples. -4 so far on today’s round and -5 overall. It’s a shame that his back will give out over the weekend.
I don’t understand Tiger’s need to revamp his swing every five or so years. I’m not a world class golfer, but I’ve been playing golf since I could walk and I have never thought once about changing my swing. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it. Golf at the pro level is almost entirely mental which is what I think has plagued Tiger’s game for the last 18 months. His wife tried to kick his ass (my theory and well deserved), he banged Ihop waitresses and other skanity skanks, got divorced, and doesn’t have his children. His world turned upside down = fucked up in the head. It’s annoying watching Tiger now. He acts like such a b!tch when he doesn’t execute a shot perfectly. He’s so emotionless too. Rarely do we see the famous fist pump or that half-mile smile from him anymore. I miss the old Tiger.

Rarely do we > see the famous fist pump or that half-mile smile > from him anymore. I miss the old Tiger. I think part of the reason why he’s going through the swing change is because with his old swing, he had to swing the club so hard it put a tremendous amount of pressure on his body. Think of the wear and tear. Once he got a little older his body couldn’t handle it. Now he’s retooling his swing. I think it makes sense.

I also think there’s a mental aspect to it - meaning it gives him something to continually focus and improve on (i.e. keep knee at point x through the swing), while if he had this ‘dialed’ his mind might wander and start to think about hitting the local IHOP.

Yes, he had 3 operations on his knee I believe, and you would imagine that his swing would have a great deal to do with this, couple this with the whole affair debacle, and he has been under alot of pressure. It would be great to see tiger surpass JN’s record, and return to his more relaxed ways
Tiger woods ya’ll its all good ya’ll
