I think you are right. So he was hitting hybrids and 5 woods off the tee? He is still spraying his shots everywhere. Almost impossible for any player on teh tour.
I think the juice gave him massive forearms. Without the arms (being off the juice) - he cannot control his shots.
The specs said Cheetah driving accuarcy for the 4 days was 39.3%. Day one and two averaged 28.5% which is abysmal.
Believe me - the PGA and Tim Finchem will do anything to put humpty dumpty back on the wall.
I was looking at the PGA specs and it said Mahan’s Sunday drives were averaging 343 yards? His average for the 4 rounds was 307 yards.
One of the guys on GolfWrx said he worked at a tourney and said the distances, especially Phil is huge. He said he saw Phil him a 3 iron 275 yards, Dustin Johnson a 5 wood 300 yards and Adam Scott a 3 wood 300 yards.
These are the guys that "TiHgHer Proofing" the course gave rise to. Woods was only one of a couple of guys that could launch the ball 330 yards and hit it our of the thick rough like it was nothing.....hence 75 victories and 14 majors thanks to the tailor made courses. Now there is a new breed to challenge him.
I remember Charles Barkley claiming that Tiger Proofing the course was racist because the PGA was trying to prevent him from winning. In fact, just the opposite was occuring. The PGA was eliminating 95% of the field from having a chance to win so our PED poster child could be viewed holding a trophy every week.
If the decline continues, maybe a reporter witha set of huevos will launch the first salvo at the PGA.
