Wouldn't Tiger's significant head drop cause him to alter his plane line and hit the occasional fat shot?

It must be working OK as he had something like 46% birdies out there.......with an eagle or two thrown in!

Tiger was putting first on a majority of the holes against Baddeley. All Baddeley had to do was make one (of several chances within 15 ft) putt and it was over for Tiger. The difference is Tiger's putting he is by far the best on the greens. He also putted lights out against Holmes. Today Tiger's ball striking was excellent.

They can only hope
I'm sure everyone on tour would like nothing more than for Tiger to re-work his swing again. Doubt that is going to happen...at least not this year.

Didn't get to see JB but Tiger made like 90 feet of putts in 4 holes or something crazy to beat him. The cats on the Golf Channel were saying that the Woods vs. Baddeley match was the match of the decade. I watched that. . . . those boys hit some GOLF SHOTS. I caught the last 5 holes . . . it was fun to watch.

Baddeley didn't hit any BAD putts on those closing holes . .. they just didn't go in. Some folks say that Tiger got lucky . . . he sure does seem to get "lucky" a bunch.

I watched most of it and thought that Baddeley out played Tiger tee to green. Tiger is longer than Baddeley off the tee but Baddeley was on target.
It was a tremendous match. Tiger is just so solid with the putter his line and speed are just better than everyone else.

I agree . . . He was less longer than Badds than I thought he would be though.

Think Eldrick wins the grandslam?

Tiger made fewer mistakes and great putts when they counted, hence he won more holes. He gets all of the money and the trophy.

It's not a beauty contest.

Tiger can walk away knowing that even if he places just a few shots exactly where he wants, he can still win.

That's Scary.

To win the grandslam you have to be in peak form each event and deal with the incredible media hype and mental pressure. Tiger is currently in peak form - can he keep it going? I think he wins 2 or 3 but not 4.
