We need one of these so we aren't posting in the Tiger thread all year.

Adam Scott the early first-round leader at -6.
Phil it at even par on the round. 4 birdies, two bogies and a double.

texasdave · 03-08-2012, 05:27 PM

Woods 1-under after 15. A ton of putts today. Bogies 18, along with everyone else, to finish up at even par. Golf Channel showed a stat that Tiger is number one on the tour in total driving, a combination of distance and accuracy.

McIlroy ended up at 1 over.

MWM · 03-08-2012, 08:51 PM

If Tiger would have been #1 in total driving the last half of the 2000s, he may have won 75% of the tournaments.

texasdave · 03-08-2012, 09:01 PM

I watched the Golf Channel post-round coverage and they started off with Tiger's round. He looked brutal with the putter today. He did not look confident at all. Of course they may have edited just his bad putts in. But, still, he did not look good on the greens.

texasdave · 03-09-2012, 01:20 PM

McIlroy must have been a bit upset about his 1-over round on Thursday. He comes out Friday and goes eagle-birdie on the first two holes.

Low scores are the order of the day. Tiger was 2-under through 7 holes on the day before missing, IMO, a ridiculously short birdie putt on his 8th hole.

texasdave · 03-09-2012, 04:03 PM

Playing partners Justin Rose and Bubba Watson put on a performance today.

Watson had 9 birdies and an eagle against a lone bogey to shoot 62.
Rose had 8 birdies and carded a 64.

Also, Martin Kaymer went low with a 64.
Bo Van Pelt and Webb Simpson are 7-under on the day and still out on the course.
Tiger is -5 thru 15.
Lee Westwood is -5 thru 10.
Keegan Bradley -5 today.
Charles Howell II -5 thru 14.

Just a lot of low, low scores.

texasdave · 03-09-2012, 04:08 PM

It is amazing that if Woods pars in for a -5 on the day that he will be further back after the second round than he was after the first.

MWM · 03-10-2012, 12:11 PM

Bubba's round was pretty sick. Was watching his interview after and is it me, or is Bubba getting a little cocky over the last year or so?

MWM · 03-10-2012, 01:03 PM

Look out, Tiger birdies first 3 holes and is now only 4 back. Rory also started hot and is also on the first page of the leaderboard, 1 shot behind Tiger.

MWM · 03-10-2012, 01:07 PM

Rory shoots 6 under on the front nine and is now 4 back, tied with Tiger. What was amazing about McIlroy's front is that he parred both par 5s including #1, the easiest hole on the course.

UPDATE: Rory eagles #10 and is now 8 under on the day and only 2 back. Wow!!!!!

BuckeyeRed27 · 03-10-2012, 01:26 PM

Everyone is going low today. Rory is killing it right now.

MWM · 03-10-2012, 02:15 PM

Ugly bogey for Tiger on #8. tried to hit a miracle flop for his 3rd and wound up not getting over the bunker. That is followed by a bad bunker shot and he missed his par putt. That's a 2 shot swing that killed any momentum he may have had.

Bubba off to a hot start as well with an eagle and birdie. #1 should not be a par 5. These guys have short or mid irons into the green consistently. That's not a par 5.

This course is playing way too easy today. Seems like every hole these guys have a wedge in their and for their approach shots.

MWM · 03-10-2012, 03:31 PM

Rory bogeyed #`12 and couldn't get anything going after that finishing with a 65. Tiger fell apart on the back 9 playing just awful.

Bubba running away with it. When he's hitting it straight, this course is a cake walk for him. It looks like he's cruising around an executive course today.

texasdave · 03-10-2012, 04:21 PM

Watson and Rose continue putting up red numbers. Each 4-under on the day. Rory at -9 after a 65. Tiger at -8 with two holes left. Webb Simpson with his second 66 in a row. Terrible opening day. Lee Westwood rebounds from an opening to post 67 and 68.

Does everyone like all the red numbers? It seems like every tourney you better be prepared to go 15 or more under if you want a chance to win. I guess chicks dig the long ball and the red numbers.
