We've seen scant evidence to date that he can follow that up with 3 more good rounds...

We haven't BUT this is the first time all year he's played back to back weekends and I've said it and I'm pretty sure you said it as well but that could be the difference.

Definitely could be. I mean, it's still hard to wrap my mind around the fact that a committed Tiger can't contend. Despite all the evidence that that's true, I - like everyone else - have a really hard time counting him out for good. Would be interested to see him fired up going into a final round again with a chance to win. I'm sure that old killer instinct is still in there somewhere.

Brandt Snedeker shot a 61 today to climb from 103rd to currently 3rd on the leaderboard.

Woods is -1 through 6 after a bogey on the first hole.

Awesome to see Tiger put together back to back solid rounds. Tied for the lead at -11 right now.

Re: Actual Golf: General Tourney discussion

He hit almost every green too. Just couldn't get the putter quite hot enough to really put a score up. He actually had 16 or 17 putts on the front, including a 3-putt bogey and was still -1.

I think this gets the perfect game treatment. We probably shouldn't be talking about it.

Still in the lead through 10, last I saw...maybe this is the tourney he wins.

He hasn't been in the lead for a few holes.

Yea last I saw was him teeing off on 11 and he was tied for the lead at -13.

Seeing Tiger fist pump at an event like this is a strange combo of sad, hilarious and awesome, lol.

Re: Actual Golf: General Tourney discussion

Looks like Woods can't get anything going. Nice to see him among the leaderboard on a Sunday again though.

Re: Actual Golf: General Tourney discussion

Tiger was pretty solid throughout the tournament, was hitting his driver well (although he didn't have to hit it often), putted well for the most part, but just that 7 on #11 submarined his chances. Nevertheless, he should be encouraged.

Having said that, the course was relatively easy and the field was not the strongest, so it may in some ways be a bit misleading. Either way, looks like we won't see him again until the new year, as he said he was going to shut it down for the year.

I still don't get the 'playoffs', but I'm glad there are some meaningful tournaments after the PGA (whereas until relatively recently, the PGA was effectively the end of the season). I like the Barclays tournament, although my favorite course in that rotation is the Liberty National one in Jersey City.

Re: Actual Golf: General Tourney discussion

It was nice that he didn't just mail it in after going triple-bogey/bogey. He came back from that with 4 birdies in 6 holes to finish out his round.

BTW, Davis Love III? Really? That was his first win since November 2008.

Kaymer lost his PGA tour status for next year.
