Another chance at birdie here at the par 5 and it’s another great-looking swing with the driver off the tee here for Tiger as he plays a cut perfectly down the fairway. Can’t say it enough, he’s swinging the driver really well. With his lower body struggles and injuries, a lot of his power has to come from his upper body these days. So far, it’s working.
He took a MASSIVE cut at this one and tried to hit a sweeping hook around the corner with that classy helicopter finish up top. His second found the rough along the fairway but there’s been quite the delay for his third shot. Justin Thomas was arguing for a drop and then in the group ahead, Scottie Scheffler was having some struggles in the bushes to the right of the green.
Following the wait Tiger left his approach short of the green just off the front edge. He’ll have some options with the putter or a wedge from there but it looks like fill-in caddie Rob McNamara has given him the trusted Scotty Cameron flatstick. He went after this putt for birdie but raced it passed the cup leaving a five-footer for par. Nope, that ain’t it. Another birdie was immediately given away by a bogey and we’re back to all square.
TIGER ON THE DAY: Even through 6.
