This is taking way too long.

Wasn't it you questioning why other players were being mentioned on there less than an hour ago? :rolleyes: love that you took the time to trawl through every post I made on the tread too, I'm flattered

Hours of effort alright, if only there was search function.:cool:

I have to say this is bizarre stuff

Who would have imagined Tiger would be anywhere near a major

GreeBo · 12-08-2018 09:25PM

Great putt after that delay, and then stiffs it to about 10 feet on the next....Tiger charge?

Well based on The Open and how he played in a lot of other tournaments this year (albeit sometimes only for 3 days) Me!

Maybe he would play in your scramble then.

you and Tiger greebs against the world

GreeBo · 12-08-2018 09:32PM

Aww Tiger!

You're off the team!

Shot dropped here surely

Was a great putt in fairness.

Add that to the one that sat on the lip earlier and it could be a very different leaderboard right now...

Some putt alright..

He's not far off the level required to start winning again..

GreeBo · 12-08-2018 09:52PM

ohh hell yeah.

GreeBo · 12-08-2018 09:55PM

Soo....Ryder Cup?

Tiger will be very dangerous next year I reckon.

lawred2 · 12-08-2018 10:11PM

Ah ffs balls anyway

GreeBo · 12-08-2018 10:12PM

Then again, how mad is it that he has had chances to win the last 2 majors in the same year that he came back from a back fusion?

He really should have fused it a couple of years ago!

Well I guess I called it right again GreeBo

ForeRight · 12-08-2018 10:39PM

If he can stay injury free you’d have to imagine he will sort that driver out in the coming months which will have well in the major hunt next year.

I’d have been surprised if he ever won a major again a few months back.

I’d be surprised now if he doesn’t win 2-3 more

"again"?

Koepka to duff it 3 times and ball rolls back to his feet each time...

GreeBo · 12-08-2018 10:40PM

HE'S BACK!

charlieIRL · 12-08-2018 10:41PM

What a putt

lawred2 · 12-08-2018 10:41PM

He'll feel like he let it slip being the competitor he is but if he can stay injury free, we've got a good few years of tiger competing ahead of us.

I really didn't think we'd see it again to be honest

GreeBo · 12-08-2018 10:45PM

Where will this put him in owgr?

51 coming into it...is Masters invite safe?

Raving_Magic · 12-08-2018 10:47PM

Anyone else finding it a bit emotional seeing him like this? I thought he was absolutely finished

I'd say he is really loving the fact that his kids are getting to see him do his stuff.

HighLine · 12-08-2018 10:59PM

What a scene walking off 18. If only he could have found a few fairways today.

Nice if he could pick up a win in the end of season tournaments it's great seen him back like this it an unbelievable achievement.

Bit of a stretch, he's playing really well, but I've seen some people think he might now surpass Nicklaus's record etc.

I think beating Sam Snead's record, if he stays fit, is the more realistic one of the two.

He's got a 3-4 year window to add whatever he can. But despite his great year, he hasn't won anything yet (although he's come close), peak Woods was winning 8 tournaments a year.

Not really - his first year back after many years of being incapacitated and has already been in the mix on the Sunday of two majors.

All the parts of the game are coming together again.

And what's never left him is that bloody minded determination to win.

If he can stay without injury - I'd be surprised to not see him a few majors.

Henry Ford III · 13-08-2018 09:08AM

He has surprised many, including myself.

Still don't like him much as a human being but that's not overly important.

The biggest problem Woods has to overcome is his competitors.

There is an incredibly strong era for professional golf and even if he gets back close to his best he can't count on someone else not being able to get the better of him which has happened in the last 2 majors.

Also the players are not afraid of him anymore, 15 years ago a charge like he had in the last 2 majors on the final day might have been enough to spook some players and for him to get the win however Molinari and Koepka weren't really affected by him at all.
