People claim Tiger’s putting cost his game, but he was making some 30 ft putts up hill and curved putts on very slick greens, with the ball stopping within a couple of inches of the cup with proper stroke and half the greens were mottled with dead turf.
With that much play and traffic, the greens themselves probably weren’t true.
IMHO, all the top 10 players played very good back nine games.
Even when McIroy triple bogied, his punch shot from between the houses was a superb comeback.
Luke’s 18th approach was incredible from his lay.
He did make some great putts, too. We are just accustomed to his almost flawless putting. He showed me today that it is coming together, although he was unlucky with some today.
That shot from Luke Donald and then the subsequent shot from off the green was probably the highlight of the back nine today. Incredible.
