Tiger Tames Torrey
After all the self coaching, swing changes, a new bride, and finding himself in unfamiliar territory at #2 in the world rankings,Tiger Woods seems to have his swing back. Tiger hopes so. So do Tournament Sponsors, Golf Schools, TV stations, San Diego Golf Courses, and 8 year old kids eating Wheaties….
Vijay is a very good golfer, but has no flair nor flavor. I don’t think anybody decided to take up the game after seeing Vijay play. Mr. Woods started a golf revolution with a couple of creative swings and a fist pump.
I know one tournament in San Diego does not a season make, but after watching Tiger be victorious at the Buick Open “Fog Fest” that was Torrey Pines South Golf Club, are we seeing the beginnings of a year that could be the year of the Tiger?
It seems like a long time since we saw Tiger do his typical 5 shots down on Sunday rally that had almost become automatic a few years back, and now that it’s happened again, the golf world will be looking over it’s collective shoulder come Sunday morning if “that guy” is 4 back on the leader board and smells blood………
The west coast swing continues with golf in Phoenix at the FBR, and then right back to southern California the following week for the Pebble Beach Pro Am.
Tiger will be coming back to play golf in San Diego when the Accenture Match Play begins in a couple weeks at La Costa Golf Resort. He is the defending champion there, and the conditions at La Costa are A+ as we speak. I predict at least 1 win in those tourneys, and he should challenge on Sunday in the Tourneys he doesn’t win. If that is true, Tiger may well be on his way back to make this his year.
