Tiger on his way home, looked like a man on a death march for two days. I honestly won't be surprised that in a few years we will see the 2019 Masters as the last hurrah for Tiger, just like Jack's win in 1986, one final time late in an epic career where the magic came back for one weekend. I would be a lot more surprised if he starts winning majors again, a whole lot more surprised, his age and especially his health are against him.
It’s amazing to me that he was able to win at Augusta. He looks like a 60 year old out there.
As far as stories go, Dylan Fritelli won the John Deere last week to get into this tourney, and he’s tied for 5th. His net worth is gonna take a big jump from a couple weeks ago.
I wish I looked as good as Darren Clarke does with that silver fox hair and beard.
He had a lot of help. Molinari came back to him, otherwise, Tiger would not have won.
[eyeroll]
But agree seems Tiger has packed it in for the year, just seems like his body isn’t holding up like everyone was hoping. Sucks frankly.
Go Westwood!!!
This course is awesome. They need to come back every 10 years.

I think something went wrong with his back. He was playing fantastically till then. He had a top 10 at last years Open, then dang near ran Koepka down for a 2nd place at the PGA and won that Tour Championship. Then he had a couple good finishes early this year and won that Masters. Since then he hasn't been playing and when he does he is squirrelly as can be. It was a great 10 months of golf, but I think we all knew it wasn't going to last with his back where it is. I think we see him play an 8-10 tourney schedule for a few more years and maybe he catches lightning in a bottle, but I think that was his last hurrah for really being competitive.
Enjoyed well earned Masters W, different schedule this year in majors, will be able to judge in last 3 playoff events how healthy he is. He should not be a factor in any cold weather events with extra attire. Simply cannot make a good pass at the ball.
We are writing off Tiger again already? Ok, lol.
Some will never learn.

Holmes is not holding up today. His iron play on the back has been horrible. Toast
Lowry is hitting everything.
How many times has that dude doped up this week? I stopped taking cycling seriously as a sport after pretty much everyone admitted to cheating.
If the weather is bad, we could see some calamity. If they get it all in before the wind gets fierce, it could be all over but the cryin'.
Koepka didn't make anything today and shot a 67. Lowry is just dialed in. He has the crowd totally behind him. You never know though....guys lose Sunday leads all the time. A quick 2 shot swing and the ******* starts to tighten, and the game is afoot.
Yeah, Lowry was just crazy good today. Brooks shot a 67 but it seemed like he shot 73.
The weather will be the X factor tomorrow.
Lowry’s ******* has puckered up tight before in majors, but he has a pretty sizable lead.
I agree, but he has a 6 shot lead over the field. (Besides Fleetwood of course)
Koepka hit it so great today that his -4 seemed like a disappointment because his putting was just atrocious.
Hoping for rain/sleet/snow/tornado like conditions tomorrow and another Jean van de Velde type ending.
Yeah I think this new schedule for the majors isn't going to do him any favors. The Masters in April was the warmest event. Last year he was sweating through 2 or 3 shirts in St. Louis at the PGA but he played great. That heat really helps loosen up. I know this time of year for me I am too loose on the back 9 when I play and I have to keep things tight, but for him he is probably just right LOL!
It seemed like he was constantly 10'-20' for birdie. He skimmed the edge of the cup on 4 or 5 misses that I saw. That's the randomness of golf though.
Shaking my head that he takes that long to figure out what club to hit and then hooks it out of bounds.
Questioned whether Lowry could handle the pressure. Legit question but I’m just giving him hell.
