Tiger: "He makes the golf ball move a lot, which in this day and age is really hard to do because the golf balls just don't move that much."

Tiger Woods, on his website, apologizing for his behavior and writing about Bubba Watson's win:

Congratulations to Bubba Watson for winning. We used to play a lot of practice rounds together. If you think about it, for a lefty, that shot on No. 10 didn't sit up too badly for him. It was a hook lie, and on top of that, he's firing it into the hill, because that green goes from right to left. So whatever type of hook he hits is actually going to be killed into the slope.

Now, some of you emailed and felt that was out of line. I could go either way. Maybe because it's just nice to read some insights about the game in one of these posts.

Anyway, this was interesting:

The only thing I was curious to see was how far down there he drove it and whether he was going to have to hit a short iron or mid-iron. If he hits a mid-iron in there, he can't stop it because it's coming in there too hot. If it's a short iron, he can spin it even if you hook it that much. He makes the golf ball move a lot, which in this day and age is really hard to do because the golf balls just don't move that much. For him to curve it as much as he does, obviously he's got a tremendous feel for his shots. He plays a way that a lot of the older players used to do it, but they did it with a ball that moved a lot more. It's a lot harder to move the ball the way he does with this ball now. The golf ball just doesn't spin as much. You have to have tremendous club-head speed, and he's got that.
