When you come to think of it that is the secret of most of the great holes all over the world. They all have some kind of a twist. C.B. MACDONALD

/Tiger: "I felt tightness in my left Achilles"
/Jimmy Roberts of NBC gets a statement through Tiger spokesman Glenn Greenspan, saying "I felt tightness in my left Achilles" and "in the past I would have continued playing." Tiger said he would be "evaluated sometime early next week."
**Steve Elling with more details on how it went down. I'm noticing that Tiger did not stop by the fitness trailer, which I thought was mandatory after a WD due to injury, not to mention odd to not want to seek immediate treatment. But maybe not?
Woods, 36, changed his golf spikes at the turn for reasons that remain unclear, then began flexing his left knee and limping visibly after hitting his second shot on the 10th hole into the water, which viewers of the European feed noticed immediately. After a bogey on the 10th, he dropped to T27. He parred the 11th hole from a greenside bunker, then teed off on the 12th with a driver and crushed a shot 321 yards down the middle of the fairway.
Speaking of 3-2-1, nobody knew the withdrawalcountdown had started. He was 3 over for the day at the time and well off the pace at 6 under overall when he jumped into a golf cart and was taken straight to his black Mercedes sedan in a nearby car park. He drove off with caddie Joe LaCava, moments after a paramedic team from the Miami-Dade Fire Rescue team cruised up to see if he required treatment.
"Rebounding Casey aces Doral's 15th hole as confusion, comedy ensue"
/Steve Elling with the fun story of Paul Casey's Doral 15th hole ace, which was preceded by an agreement with caddie Craig Connelly to split the prize. Only, the car only goes to the ace on 13, even though one is parked right behind the 15th tee.
Connelly practically did a Yogi Berra leap into his boss' arms and danced in the tee box, as playing partner Kyle Stanley and caddie Brett Waldman joined in the celebration. Casey, on the other hand, deadpanned that he was a little bit bummed because he knew he'd have to share it with his looper.
"I don't think I've ever not wanted a ball to go in the hole," Casey laughed. "I never enjoyed not winning a car so much."
