Yes I did watch Yesterday. I watched McDowell plug it into bunker on 1 resulting in double. I also watched McDowell miss 3 putts inside 6 feet. That's the 5 shots he lost by right there.
Dude, I'm glad Tiger won...I was rooting for him. But to think he rolls by Jack because of last weekend is absurd.
First off everyone hits bad shots and misses putts. To pick out five strokes from any one golf round is hilarious. Tiger burned the edge on probably 7-8 misses Sunday alone so he should have shot -20 right?
I think Tiger is back for 2 reasons; recent results and his driver. Tiger has been at near the top in his last 5 or 6 tourneys. Secondly his driving has been completely revamped. If he had a weakness in his prime it was the accuracy of his driver. Hell he often teed off with the 3w because he had no idea where the driver was going. And he still lapped the field on a consistent basis. Now he is amazingly long and ACCURATE. Everyone else should be scared.
You are also discounting the conditions Sunday. I think I heard something like 4 people broke par. All Tiger did was get around the course beautifully.
And lastly, Rory. The kid is skilled, but he doesn't have "it". He shot an 80 in the British a few years ago. He collapsed at Augusta and the US Open. Tiger never did tha in his prime. Maybe Rory turns it around, but I don't see him being a 1/2 a Tiger at his best.
