"Hank and I will go back forth with text messages, some angry, some decent."

So much interesting stuff in Part 1 of Connell Barrett's Q&A with Brandel Chamblee about a wide range of topics, but naturally the Tiger talk is most interesting:

CB: Sounds like you pay close attention to Tiger's swing.

BC: I have this argument with [Tiger's swing coach] Hank [Haney] all the time. Hank and I will go back forth with text messages, some angry, some decent. I have huge respect for Hank. I took lessons from him out of college. But you can say that we agree to disagree in terms of swing philosophy. In my opinion, Tiger's still struggling with his golf swing, and it hurts him in major championships. He doesn't hit the ball as far or as straight in majors, and subsequently he has to rely on his putter more. He's not [winning majors by] five shots anymore. He's not intimidating players the way he used to because he's not 40, 50 yards ahead of them anymore. He's not hitting short irons [into greens] while they hit middle-irons. He's playing from where they play. He's still better. He's still smarter. But now he's one of them. He's not blowing them away.
