Was rooting very hard for the Brooks birdie on 18. I was ready for a playoff with the GOAT vs the current king slayer and a t storm in the distance closely approaching.

Anyone see an explanation for Tiger's super short 2nd shot on 18? He left it really far back, but it seemed intentional given his angle, 2 shots to work with, and that is an easy chip and 2putt spot with a fat lane into the green even tho it was pretty far back. Trying to go for it risks a bunker or missing on the wrong side of a bunker that leaves a crazy lie and brings double into play. You double cross an intended cut or overcook a cut and an adventure begins.
But i was interested about confirmation of that logic.

He said there was mud on his ball so he wanted to make sure to miss left.

He clipped a tree branch. I too wondered but someone reported that it clipped a branch.
Wrong emoji.
That would make sense given it was so far back. Leaving it short right would be smart, although that was really really short

This is where I read tree limb but I'll take what Tiger said.

If it was a tree limb, then holy crap, that was near disaster. Imagine if it ricocheted who the hell knows where

He said there was mud on his ball if press conference. He said he was playing for bogey.

Like I said, he would probably know better than the reporter.

I think ya'll are talking about 2 different shots.
his second shot from the fairway edge on 18 you can see him motion and look up after the shot - it clipped a tree limb barely but that made it short and right.
his third shot the chip there was mud on the ball so he played to the fat part of the green instead of straight at the pin so if it affected it either way it still ends up on the green.
EIDT
NOPE - I was wrong.
He said: "And I had a little bit of mud on my golf ball playing that shot, and I said just make sure I overcut this thing; don't undercut it. Overcut it to the right. And I did. I whoofed it and hit it over to the right and I was able to put that ball on the green and twoputt."
I still thought he hit that tree limb barely- watching him walk aftr he glanced up at it and made face.

What a day. Such an incredible comeback, it's hard to put into words how I felt watching tiger on the back nine today. The ONLY thing I wish was that he made the par putt on 18. He had that walk going like he made it, and Augusta would have erupted.
Way to go Tiger! A Masters for the Ages!

My original thought was he didn't want it plugging in the face of the bunker short of the green, since he was gonna be slicing it in there, but I guess it clipped a tree

Wasn't that tweet about the Masters odds?
Somewhat the bettors and the odds.
But he doubled down during the tournament several times - glowingly rooting for Molinari quite obviously and defending him and basically saying no way an old guy can keep this up:
for example early today :
I'm certain Shipnuck has praised Woods in his golf books. I think that actually he worked with Woods on one book.
yeah. i don't care anyway. i was just pointing out what others said.
but what some writer might say is not really relevant anyway.
he just seemed to be pretty sure of himself here.
he actually reacted with some elated tweets when tiger did win.
he was just trying to show he was smart and got it wrong this time. no big deal.

Yeah, that first one is clearly somewhat tongue in cheek (old guy with one win) while the 2nd makes it clear he's a fan. Those only look bad to a literalist who cant read into them.
I apparently missed the inside joke here but would love to hear some elaboration if you don't mind....SPI-FlatsCatter 84 said:

Mud on ball, 40 mph wind, way up hill... Bang it somewhere in the general direction, SAFELY... ON green 2 putt, Profit!DannyDuberstein said:

No writer hates Tiger succeeding more than Shipnuck yet he's the first to jump on the bandwagon when something good happens. I can't stand the guy.aginlakeway said:Zombie Jon Snow said:aginlakeway said:

Sorry if my question was too dumb for you. I wasn't surprised in the least at the play in general as I explained the strategy in my post, but the considerable amount of distance it was left short vs what I would have usually expected with that strategy at least raised a question, which is why I was looking to see if he'd confirmed what happened.oldschool87 said:Mud on ball, 40 mph wind, way up hill...

I don't know why you guys think mock turtlenecks don't have a collar.
The collar is what distinguishes mock turtlenecks from a t-shirt.
Unless they specifically ban mock turtlenecks too - but a mock or full turtleneck has a collar. It is considered a more dressy shirt than a t-shirt. It is widely accepted in business casual attire too.
Augusta dress code says collared but does not exclude mock turtlenecks specifically.
I've worn them to nice courses requiring a collar and to nice restaurants that don't require a tie. Never had a problem.

That's why I still think it hit a tree limb just barely - I saw Tiger gesture up to the tree after the shot. But I have not seen anyone mention that.
I think he both played safe to bail out right and clipped the tree so it was much shorter than planned.
I can't imagine anyone wearing a mock turtle neck at my office, which has a business casual dress code. It is another form of a tee shirt. It is not another form of a professional, business casual, or polo shirtZombie Jon Snow said:aginlakeway said:Strange thing is that he wouldn't be allowed to play AN without a collar ...SPI-FlatsCatter 84 said:

Sometimes, they are human, my point was the wind was howling, and 18 is up hill the entire way. Most times you can't see the flag. Mud or no mud, to your point, not going to risk pulling a Phil...
Bump.
