Sergio Garcia vs. Adam Scott.

Let's go.
poo poo, it just occurred to me that Sergio and Adam are on opposite sides of the draw, and Sergio's side is supposed to get much better weather. RIP.

Tiger just beating balls as fast as possible on the range. Looks like a man on a mission.

Or a weekend hacker who's running late to his tee time. We'll see in a bit!

I want to grow up to hit the ball like DJ. Is that too much to ask? So much power, and he makes it look so easy. I'll even take the shoddy putting.

Agreed, I love watching him play. Looks effortless.

Wow what a flat swing Lingmerth has. At least with the driver.

Rumor was at the height of Tiger's dominance, he would free-hand a straight line on his ball while walking to the first tee.

He was just spotted using an alignment aid to draw his line. Pack it in, Tiger fans. He's done.

Edit - Getting NASCAR vibes out of Sergio's hat. I love that he's a company man, but it's a little busy, even for my garish tastes.

Edit 2 - I just can't get behind Hideki Matsuyama's swing tempo. The deliberate pause at the top is jarring to me. Almost like he's questioning his choice right before pulling the trigger.

Edit 3 - What the Christ, Tiger's sweating through his hat. What a range session.

I wouldn't read too much into his sniffles. He's always sniffing and hocking up loogies on the course. But the crowd didn't applaud for his tee shot, that's true. I'm actually okay with a 120+ yardage in. Too many guys could get too cute.

Confirmed - 135 yards. And into the swilcan burn.

Does anybody ever attempt to play out of it? Can you retrieve your ball after the hole is finished and use it on the next hole? I know he doesn't need it, but hey.

Edit - Since this will just be a stream of consciousness thread, if one player's poor play can affect a playing partner, Oost must not enjoy having to start play with Tiger for two straight majors lol.

I'd retrieve it, plus all the other ones :D

Yeah they did mention that some have tried to play out of it before I think.

Well he's off to a shocking start. Can't even hit a drat iron 180 yards.

Edit. See there's the difference. Spieth just pulls out driver and slaps it down the fairway no probs.

Pretty amusing to see Johnson carry that hill by a mile, Matsuyama bounce off and over it, and Spieth to get rejected by it.

Tiger ought to abandon his game plan and just rip driver on every hole.

If his internal dialogue has any volume, Tiger just screamed, "...FUUUUUUUCCCCKKKK" at about an 11.
