Tiger was always held to a higher standard. -1 on 17 first round of competitive golf in a substantial time when the leaders at -8 second is -5?.....not bad at all. And, I know he's aged, but Tiger is the greatest golf talent ever....he might just get that dominance back for several years.
He doubled to go to -1. Bad hook with a 5 iron. First bad shot I've seen him make on the back. I don't think he will get his dominance but I do think he can become in the talking once again.
Confidence is everything in golf...if he gets it again? Look out, he's got every shot in the bag
I agree that he once had every shot. But for awhile before his hiatus, he didn't. He couldn't play the right shots. He looked like a much more athletic Bruce Lietzke out there. And I liked Lietzke.
I don't think he was ever really healthy. My man Freddy boom boom Couples was crazy good until his divorce and back trouble set in.
I have to give him credit for trying to come back......had I gone thru the surgeries that he has I'd be scared to really let it go and swing hard.....if he can get his golf head back he'll win again, but I don;t think he'll ever be feared again
remember when Lietzke used to play in an event at Parkersburg Country Club?....I was there for a couple of them
I agree. But it wasn't fear that made him dominant....it was his ability to play better under pressure. It was there in his 3 US Amateur victories in a row. If he ever gets that mindset back, he could dominate still, even post 40. But the back? Ouch, it wrecks a golf game
we weren't either....never had that many bucks......my brother was in radio at the time and we got to go interview him....cool guy
