It was cool to see Tiger win again and see him actually seem like "happy Tiger" but I did find it a bit boring down the stretch. I actually tuned out and watched the basketball game during the last few holes. Then tuned back to see the very end.
The Official Tiger Woods Thread
I think that may have been the most "genuine" emotion we have seen out of Tiger in quite some time. His face and expressions when he was lining his putt up on #18 is something I dont think people have seen in a long, long time. The only other time I can say he has seemed this way, his his round a few weeks ago with Stricker where they just looked like they had a great time out on the course.

I'm looking forward to British coverage of The Masters. When it went back to the Sky studio last night, they talked Tiger but they talked fairly. When it was with NBC, you'd think it was Tiger talk sponsored by Tiger. It got creepy.

I agree with you buddy. He wasn't dancing around the green but the best part to me was when they showed him lining up his putt and you just saw him smile to his self and kind of cover his eyes with his hand for a minute. Almost seemed like "hey, I did it, and this is pretty damn fun". I'm so jacked up for the Masters I can't hardly wait. So many people playing good golf right now.

I have a question...
What's the difference in distance between Augusta and bay hill? I ask because if they are near the same then I expect to see a ton of stinger shots from tiger this year. Why hit driver on par 4s at Augusta when he can hit those stingers like he did at bay hill.
By the way I love that shot too

I need to learn how to hit stingers with 3w and hybrids. sometimes, when it's windy, the driver is not my friend.
anyway, congrats to TW for the W. finally! hope he'll be in contention for the Master's. I wonder what the buzz is on the euro tour side with this TW win? this win will definitely build up the Masters. can't wait!

I'm glad he won. In fact, I hope he wins five more times this year and we never have to read/debate whether he's back again.
As for the actual golf, I hope we continue to see good finishes, regardless of the winner. Blowouts are boring to me, whether it's Rory at the US Open or Tiger at Bay Hill.

We're all going nuts and Lee Westwood has gone missing without his clubs!
Not really. There was an expectation for Tiger to get a win under his belt and this just bodes well for him when The Masters gets going. I can see him contending, but I can also see him having to play to an even higher level to beat some of the Euros at Augusta.

Swing Easy, Hit it Hard!
As your handicap is listed at 18+, I'd think trying to hit stingers might not be your best shot and even possibly worse than your driver. The only player you hear of even hitting it on tour is Tiger and what would his handicap be, a plus 4 or 5 right now?

Well obviously handicap determines what shot a person can or can't hit.
Duh, that's why I cant hit a consistent draw. I bet if I start dropping more putts and get my handicap a bit lower, I will be able to hit a draw every time.
Also, I dont think Tiger is the only person that hits that "stinger" shot. I just think he is the only person that named one of shots.

I've hit a stinger once or twice, only a I called them knockdown shots because my handicap isn't low enough. I'm sneaky like that.

They still print actual golf magazines? I figured those would be as archaic as phone books by now.

LOL. This is true. I love hitting stingers... I just wish I knew how.
Ive seen your stingers deano and they're lethal!
They just stop too. Its effing ridiculous. Tiger could learn a lot from you. His issue he wouldnt listen.
LOL. I hit a consistent hook. That puts me at a 7 I thinks.

I sliced one two fairways over yesterday. Put my hybrid another two fairways the other way. hit my 56* over a tree and hit a 12 footer for par. BOOM! 5 easy.

Blowouts are boring, and it really isn't much fun watching a guy go into Sunday with a huge lead and pretty much a guaranteed win. When it comes down to the last few holes, or even play-offs it's awesome to watch on TV. I hope that's how Augusta is in a few weeks.

Certainly not, but there is a correlation.
