Even when he's winning tournaments, he never makes it look easy lol.
I was talking to my wife about it right before his final couple of holes last night. She watched and said "wow, you aren't joking"

It's wild because you can see the talent is there. His mental game is so messed up that it causes him to do this stuff.

I was playing in a best ball with my brother last summer. Team in front of us was playing stupid slow, not playing ready golf, etc. The next hole was a "longest putt" hole and they ended up with the longest putt after reading the putt for about 10 minutes. My brother stuck it to about 3 feet and I was about 10 feet past their sign, putting it at about 30 feet. We intentionally putted from my ball spot out of spite and drained the putt.
I love how serious people get about the pin prizes. Last summer in a best ball I had an absolute monstrous drive on the longest drive hole and we were the last group through. The guy I passed (on the fly) accused me and my group of cheating when they announced my name for longest drive because het thought he had won. LOL the guys that were on the green on that hole over hear the conversation and one guy turns around and said "sit down, he passed you on the fly". The dude was legit pissed that I "stole" his prize.

I couldn't care less about the hole prizes. If I get one, cool. I'm more worried about trying to catch a flight. That's were the big winnings are.

Possibly a slight bad break for Tiger. Oosthuizen has withdrawn, so Tiger and Niemann will be a twosome following threesomes all day. Lots of standing around.

Or maybe it will help to have more time to plan shots. Guess we will see.

He talked about needing time to recharge after shots, so possibly a break.

His swing is so smooth. If young people want to play golf for a really long time, they should mimic his swing.
Or Adam Scott. Just so effortless looking. I have this thing that happens during my swing where I try to focus on making a smooth swing, and somewhere in the middle of my downswing, caveman brain kicks in and screams MUST CRUSH

Lol same. If I stay nice and smooth, I have a great stroke. Then a few beers in I turn into the Hulk.

When I first started playing, I had a big backswing like Daly. Got that pared down and was able to find more distance and accuracy. I just have to think Oosty/Scott on the tee every time.
