    Was talking with my dad this morning. Is Tiger the only golfer who can look like he's playing like crap and still produce a score? I mean, sometimes he just looks plain awful, yet still shoots under par.

    The boy has got talent. Some of the shots he manufactured off the pine straw were amazing - the shot on 17 (in the 3rd round) with his thighs parallel to the ground and the cut shot on 13 (final round).
    As Mike mentioned in another thread, he would have won this comfortably if he had putted like he did a few years ago. He made Mickelson look rather ordinary, I thought.

    He still wants to come underneath on a few shots to get the ball to cut - and then he is in real trouble.

    he can play right to left perfectly and always had... but now his cut shots are not all over the place distance wise, and THAT is a big sign for everyone else.

    His chipping is still shit, the face is soooo shut . . . - but when you hit 17 greens - who cares.

    He sunk a few putts today which always helps.

    Adam still has one the best swings going round though !! Awesome choke by Rory - he wanted to crawl into a box on the 13th...

    I read on Golfwrx that Adam Scott isn't with Butch anymore? Who's his coach now?

    His tee to green was very good this week, his short game is not quite as good as a few years ago and his putting is getting better but not as good as a few years ago either. If he had his old putting and short game this week I think he would have beaten the field by a fair margin, and he would have one if just his putting was a little better.

    The sooner he pisses off that Nike Method putter, the better! Jesus that was frustrating to watch!

    I do like the shape of his putter, same shape Phil was using, but don't like the face insert crap on the method.

    He has so much success with his Newport. I don't understand it.

    Does it have rubber iit between each groove or just ginormous unfilled groves?

    Don't think it's the tradesman's tool that caused the ball to miss. Charl didn't seem to have too much trouble with his Method.

    The difference (from what I have read) is in his release with the putter. When he played the Ping and the SC's his release was similar to a release associated with a high draw shot. His release since undergoing the recent swing changes is a staight back straight through, pop release. The mallet, neck/heel configeration seems to suit this method of releasing the putter. He has said during interviews that he needed to feel a certain type of release in the putting stroke in order to understand the release of the club he is looking for in his long game. The changes he has made in his chipping has the clubface looking at the target longer than previously, which is more fundamentally correct. The issue everybody has with this game is - we are creatures of habit and old learned habits have a way of creeping back in during pressure situations.

    Head pro? lol he's hardly there as he's travelling 20+weeks a year these days. Some may have had lessons with him at Gainsborough as well, as he was giving lessons out there years ago.
    But yes, i've played plenty of golf with brad. He's a great coach. Been mates for a long time, and it's good to see his name up in lights after many years of low profile work.

    You should try get your hands on the US Golf Digest this month if you're interested, as he talks about his work on Adam's swing, and where it's going.

    Don't you actually have to play golf over two years to get ranking points ?

    It's a horrible ranking system. Not enough emphasis on current form.

    So, Tiger pulls out of the US Open citing an ongoing knee complaint.

    Is Azinger right ? Will Tiger ever come back as good as he was ??

    I really can't see it myself

    He may not come back and be as good as he was, but even Tiger firing on half his cylinders will be enough to be very very competitive amongst the best in the world.

    He will be just as good if not better than he was....but the others will also.
