tiger

one what a scene this morning on the 10th hole it was fabulous the adoring crowd stood up to watch

tiger

compete in japan for the first time since 2006

every

step he has taken at accordia golf near the club of shino field the fans have cheered the cameras have clicked this is how he started his day steve sands pleased to be next to frank nabalo and tiger was facing left he took an extra bounce steve and found the water on the left side so no it was the start neither he nor any of the thousands of adoring people wanted yes this dramatically better steve a little over 100 yards up the hill and he did well so now the china side has a chance to get away with a way four and here's par putt always left fast bogey bogey his second hole of the day now to avoid three bogeys in a row yes this was his comeback drive so it's a three putt three prim bogey eros birdies of the day came in at 14, up the hill tiger, back to two over par now here's his second at 15 f From the right rough yeah this is a great debut iron I mean , throws it into the air.

Then at 16. Started with three bogeys, how about three birdies at 14, 15 and 16 at Tiger Woods, move all the way back to 18, this is an eagle try after a beautiful second at the par five from 237 yards, tiger, the energy? here is palpable this first or just a short position hold par four and tighten it like this then as we come back to Tiger on the first his 10th hole of the day craig right in the middle of the fairway 117 yards and man does . he's got some great hands he can hit this there a little low to the front hole location that's exactly what he's done nice

shot

right here looks like things have settled for tigres now tigre has birdied four of his last six holes to get it back to one under par here he's trying to get to two, there's an old golf course that steve built in 1965, so a lot of greens sloping back and forth, you go over the hole. bar and after that tough start tigers only two

shot

s at home tiger

woods

craig with an iron yeah you have some options here phil with that stick you can get that left bunker out of the game it's around 255 the wind is helpful here it's very tight between a couple of trees right downtown will love that phil the rare fields are really narrow some players could take you over those trees with them 33 yards left all location with the wind from the left maybe try a little draw here beautiful phil The Tiger shot on display here after that terrible start would have been his fifth birdie in his last seven holes.

I thought he was going to turn a little bit to the left. He did not do it. So disappointed stance. best of the three tigers all of a sudden just a tee shot here for tiger fairway downwind this 500 yard par 4 then you go over the tree it's water all day left I think it's a useful breeze. on the right yes this is the tree craig is talking about even a little bit to the left if it's downwind but if you push it to the right you're blocked by the trees facing a little bit to the right you go through The fairway to the rough, oh, that's ideal. the greens yes in japan most courses have two greens on each hole some play in different seasons play on different greens one of the best iron players in the history of the game and he is liking this one in a nice line, fantastic shot another great birdie opportunity with a new putter a couple of days ago but still has the trusty one in the bag and that's why birdie number six and guess who's in the part top of the leaderboard after three bogeys in a row very nice safe shot in the middle of the green is where he wants it that is where he is very very mentally intense but still there is that calm, that relaxed feeling about the way he that his body seems to work, he had a great movement of the putter, well, he looks great here, I hope this is nice. up close looks good looks good 7th birdie in the last 10 holes to tiger

woods

about two and a half inches and they're not cutting it fancy go on just drill down yeah that's a beautiful shot just running across the course it's well advanced was that one maybe to protect his body keep going down that path shot this par 5'6 to tigre 91 yards here to tigre just can't miss it left a significant drop off this fly under another birdie opportunity getting that left hand up extremely good read tommy's fell to the left once he got to the hole brilliant hands to work on this shot this actually jumped a bit coming off the rough hit obviously not his best phil nine weeks from now im surprised how smart he he was to the point he talked about flipping the switch at 14 after three bogeys in a row it's amazing how the best players in the world have the ability to make mid round adjustments yeah, that's true but we said it in pregame yesterday steve one of the things of the last few years not the best of lies frank 194 yards with an eight iron just be careful he doesn't get out of here and go ahead and set

every

thing feed the wind is helpful center center of the green maybe 25 feet down the flag i think would not be ideal often has a slightly different routine for a troubleshoot once it is established it is a look and there you go there you have a look contact it was good but it seems to me that he has left the flag not much left his best opening round in the first round of any pga

tour

season for tiger beating a 66 in 2007 at torrey pines just the key here guys to get it on the fairway because frank mentioned that his favorite lies three woods for ti ger standing right trying to draw next another japan team only 132 yards for tigre really working on changing his trajectory at range this little low draw working towards the flag oh yeah how about that nice start it's leaning left but then late type of wanders back right played like straight ok this is the nine steve he recorded look at that yeah it will It looked pretty solid, did it stand up on its front?

Very good good posture ooh sat that level too much and then made its way to the pga

tour

and we got to know them so well watching them at tournaments like the east lake cup there are second place tigers taking chances really , if you want to find something that works for them maybe it's a little outside the box tiger now for par the right breaking pots had almost no right to lefts it was right to left to get a better angle of that whole location there is also a nine iron for tiger flights germany these a little lower you can shape it however you want oses oh it wasn't the best yeah it was a slight jerk to the left of the flag he ran into it with a low ball and that's where started and cut off ideal stroke, good tee shot here on Thursday, draw would sit ideally to the left. to the right wind and it starts in the center and that's just wind holding it here it just drifted to the right at the end but the pace was brilliant not as many spectators and not as many distractions feels like a casual practice round but in in the back of your mind you know this round counts absolutely only a bit of a cut shot here i'm sliding down starting from the left and actually hooking that's the dreaded double cross right there it sets up rough for some one of the best hands in the world of golf really but it's a pretty good challenge right there about five or six feet to the left of his par so it was a right to left error earlier in the second look at how he drives um oh well done nice putt there in the corner and this is trying to cut but me with it bei ng downwind you can run out of real estate yeah you also need a big bounce into the trees frankly I think move forward 120 yards would be great check down and hopefully not run across the fairway still ok are you really making it to the center of the green i think its like a little hop there added a little more of juice to that loft a lot less here going up the slope a lot of green you can use no one checked a little faster than you would have liked I have other freedom not quite at that kind of level right now but this is another important part certainly you don't do a six on a par five, okay, walk on that one, I think it has a much flatter trajectory and he shot and doesn't try to cut, okay, he's not. so sharp with his irons today and he's got a couple of setbacks look he's very comfortable putting left to right this week and we welcome Tiger Woods to the tee with the fairway wood yeah I just shot three woods to the ground. downwin d and cutting the right side here phil got out of that one a little bit and we're going to lose the fairway to the right bunker and the flagstick east dove over there and found out the front bunker went down good i need a little more short game magic during the commercial break you would have seen the tiger bunker shot this one here played very well he has such good hands isn't he phil but the lie was very beautiful because there are no people here there is no doubt that he is focused but maybe not the ingrained intensity that in him the breeze has cooled here and back to his face going to the left rattles around the trees oh how about that so different from what happened at six when he just passed through the tiger trees back to the wind and he chases that one onto the green so unlike yesterday front nine one under and remember the 10th is now being played at only 140 yards love his short iron good He can not see the result. coming down the hill he's wearing he's won 14 major

championship

s with oh no oh dammit oh no come on I mean he was squirming down the hill but it looked like he was going to catch enough of the lip well start by the right and it seemed to me that the action should be to turn to the left, which was his best shot to his front end, passing the ball with the driver we've seen all day in the place and we hit this a little bit to the left of the hole .

I'll have a putt that breaks left to right, that's it, and he's that accurate, go right under him, a friend built it in 1965. Stay up, he did it, caught the left corner Tiger Woods with a birdie here on the 11th hike, that one maybe started a tight cut. Left but I think this is over. Frank, you're saying you're right about those fields. You could look for this thing to jump. It's just 182 to the front. goes with something a little less lofty well done mirrored shape Angle of reality that whole location perched there which was a nine just to the left of the flag looks like a little left to right putt that he himself put down and we know all about those look at this look at that guy he looks so good on those putts at the moment a few weeks he winces through the ball there but he finds that first rough cut feels great like good on that first flatter cut ball flight is interesting i would say that year so watched him walk off the driving range talking to pat perez and laughing and a couple other players tried to play pattern and just flew a little too far the trick is figuring out which one to use crashing around here it's interesting he chose to chip they're cutting through that first he cut a bunch of the players would have put that or belly to wedge the second three wood here for tiger and it's hanging over the right side Seems to me like I should find the street so there you go that's a strategy three would just slide down a bit oh hang up he's trying he runs away I've seen him on so many different occasions he takes his four however in 15 .and move through three holes to get into this second round, don't miss this green so cut it. towards the right hole location that's what you tried to do but you threw another iron shot it should find the grain ok ok i was going to say water lurks on the left side thats ok though oh , that was not his best putt this week. mostly pace, but that was a very slow putt, how will his body take it?

That's a big question mark, put this in part, yeah I'm directly in the middle of the hole so it's getting hard to see as well. right in the center beautiful about that that was too long flew it 300 yards runs downhill that will leave them a short approach here solid shot working it towards a flag a little cut oh beautiful beautiful the previous one bounced good back here with a birdie impressive they were two beautiful shots, he launched very high but drifted to the right into that first bunker across the fairway, sadly before he got there he swelled up enough for the flag to be hit well towards the center of the green, oh yeah , look this couldn't get any better than a 3-4 finish it was flawless the first round after that slow start today just being patient i think that's the way for eagle at 18 -shot lead through 36 holes of this first

zozo

championship

just back towards the flag steve that's something we're going to hear a lot hear those engines in those chambers that are going to see this in thechase group this is oh is ok this starts in the center of the green but it doesn't cut it's going to be a good shot although he's been feeling it with the putter all week he needs to go down good come out a bit lower says hammer to the left side of the green oh and the advantage now goes back to the first three two rounds stocks left but no cutting just to get up that's a dangerous combination well he may have hit the fairway here phil beautiful and little smooth cut that was a free hit there he went through that wall that was fabulous they even called their names he just went to this different place you can see him look at his face he just had 119 back towards that flag he can seeing the line that some in the game have ever drawn to the level that the tiger has shed blood, especially when you continue to view pressure situations as an opportunity here to extend your lead this time it's a narrow field I've been very comfortable hitting the cut and that's what he's trying to do here he can't be shifting to the right that's not going to make it yeah you won't give an inch just four yards behind this flag follow that soap sheet it's zoned a little bit the jersey and the second tiger is and it's uh just to the left of the flag try to draw that one that went off a little bit in front of him now to the right it looks like the worst shots he hits or when he tries to draw a little bit , so you retrieve this ball slightly open-faced as if you were going to block it quite high in the air.

Let's see what he does. club on the ground hit clean more maybe than I thought so going to have a nice easier fourth round on the golf course as usual with full control too much on the high side yeah that's it where it's heading slow it's kind of limping to the midway now for sure he didn't like that but for sure you'll head to the par 518 to head to the right of the flag. Look at his attention as you said. i think this is he hit that heavy tiger woods well this one didn't pull this cut to the flanks that beautiful shot well this one didn't pull this cut to the flanks that beautiful shot this is what he's trying to do to cut it down right side of the trees this is starting to the left and trying to cut is up there green light yeah trying to cut safely towards the center of the ring right on the high side one maybe 27 holes really not much i thought so was going to turn looked like he would turn it let the fans tell you if this birdie putt goes home here this is the five wood and he goes down the right side of the fairway trying to turn he sat down that wasn't his best putt, great high cut speed on that golf. beautiful swing shot that started in the center of the green going to miss the fairway oh great kick oh my gosh starting towards the senator sound may be a miss and in the front bunker going to be denied by the rich twelve good wasted chance there this starts on the left side second shot now to tigre here at the 14,000 321 yards was watching closely what nazion was doing up on the green has a chance to birdie just the best built with the driver trying to take that much higher bunker on a very good line oh he went to the left so the lead remains at three ok there he started actually at the flag and cut it towards the grain set he went to the right i think it was little . of a mystery too much damage done is a part i've done exactly that how beautiful it was a knocked down start on the center green just never cut maybe i have to work to think that's what i had in mind when i got to 17 right where what would be expected as we look at the winning putt and it's great to hear him say once again
