Tiger Woods is in 3rd Place at the British Open, But He’s Struggled on the Weekend at Majors in 2012
All, Golf, Tiger Woods July 21st. 2012, 10:00am
Tiger Woods on Thursday/Friday in Majors so far in 2012: -4.
Tiger Woods on Saturday/Sunday in Majors so far in 2012: +10.
So it should come as no surprise he’s at -6, all alone in third place after two days at the British Open. (Phil Mickelson? He missed the cut. That’s the first time in five years that has happened to him at a Major.)
Tiger’s winless-in-Majors streak is at four years and here’s what he’s done in the last five majors: Tied for 21st, Tied for 40th, missed the cut, DNP, DNP. He hasn’t won the British Open since 2006.

Coming on the heels of ESPN.com declaring The Open to be a two-man contest between Snedeker and Scott, this post pretty much wraps up the title for Tiger.

Wait so this -4 includes the current tourney, right? He was +3 at Augusta and -1 at Olympic. So adding his current result to distort his two previous tourneys is not really fair to Tiger.

Tyger, tyger, fading fast!

No mention at all of the golfers in 1st or 2nd place?

you missed the earlier post on the leader.

Tiger didn’t exactly have the best start to the day. +2 so far.

im a hardcore golf fan and have no problem with a separate post on tiger, or him being the focal point of the coverage at all. until he fades from contention, he’s a much bigger point of interest than brandt and adam scott chasing their first major. not to take anything away from them, as either of them winning would be great…they’re both stars.
i think if the weather turns, tiger has the advantage…he’s just gotta stay within striking distance. if he’s within two strokes, in the group behind the leaders and the wind is howling, id take him as the favorite.

Spencer, always telling it like it is.

Looks like he’s found some of the old Tiger with the last 2 birdie putts. Strange just commented that the last putt on the par 4 6th hole was “magical”, though I believe Snedeker had a similar long birdie putt yesterday and he made it and yet I didn’t hear the same lamenting.
Strange might want to leave the booth and head down to the course and bow down to Tiger

I could care less who wins. Tiger getting the lead and bitching out would be the most exciting conclusion.

Insalata caprese. yummm.

Snedeker’s fast twichy game not holding up? shocker.
July 21st, 2012 at 3:45 PM
Watching him putt earlier on, boy, he had the jitters. Not a good sign.
July 22nd, 2012 at 12:37 AM
He’s too far back. First two rounds were good and he needed the same on Saturday. Finishing at even par killed his chances.
