But very early yet

All over the place on 2 but, could be on for a bird.

ronjo

3 over after 2.

Two short ones missed

HighLine

A 3ft putt missed on his first followed by a 4ft on his second... that's a problem.

two sixes to start.

ronjo

I guess he thinks its only fair to give the field a few shots at the start. To make it more challenging like

I think he wanted to give the not back lads hope - then he is going to have 4 birds in last 12.

A sign hes going to struggle massively on this particular tournament.

However the win last time out does give hope that he can get back on track in a future tournament - ie after this one

I know - the above was likely.

But seriously is it early for a sign ?

He has only taken 5 full shots.

FixdePitchmark

Will be interesting - if he can calm now - and stay par - that would be a sign for me.

A fair point - I suppose im thinking it will be hard for him to get a quick turnaround after a nightmare start.

ronjo

Another 3 footer for par

He's not back

I guess he was back for long enough to win last time - so hopefully he may be back again

ronjo

Get in the hole

He is back

Old diesel

Was that on hole 5 or 6

Leaderboard was showing him as 2 over through 5 a minute or 2 ago.

Although I know its often slow to update

abff

At least he's stopped the rot and managed to sink a decent putt for a birdie on the par 5 14th.

5th hole was the one I was referring too.

Old diesel

I think he struggles to achieve consistency really - so it was always going to be hard to put two performances back to back

For example - we had

Decent performance in Dunhill links

Mediocre performances in US

Win in Indonesia

More struggles in the US

Win in US

Very much up and down - the win was still great for him as it takes a lot of pressure of him regarding tour cards, sponsors invites etc etc

seems to have steadied the ship...

Even in his prime, he rarely followed a win with a very good week. Like you say, pressures off now. A few good performances over the next couple of months and I'll be happy!

REBELSAFC

Bogey at his seventh....

Thank god he's back......I will get my coat.

markthespark77

O Lord..

JohnnyLocke

Awful putting display so far.........

Rollercoaster ride continues, let's give him a chance to steady himself in fairness, c'mon Paddy couple of birds to bring you back near level and a good low Friday

Crikey lads get a grip. This often happens with pros the next tournament after a win. Invariably they miss the cut, don't know why but it so often happens. I reckon he has hardly hit a ball since he won the Honda, he said himself he was taking a break. The masters will be the one that matters.

Tournament between now and then will help him sharpen his game.

Slashermcguirk

I would also take those shot trackers with a pinch of salt, they are often well off with distances particularly on putting distances.

ForeRight

He can't win every week lads give the great man a break

18 feet for eagle at the first................
