Tiger Appears Focused And Ready For The PGA At Harding Park
/
Not that I’m saying he’s come to some events unprepared, but there was definitely an urgency to the Monday proceedings at Harding Park. Getting comfortable on the green was the primary focus, particualrly given that his swing, ball-striking and body all appear ready to go.
—Short game consultant Matt Killen went nine holes with him and they discussed his putting at times.
—He played one of his approach shots as if a real putt, but with Joe LaCava giving his read first, then consulting the green reading charts, before putting.
—Woods practiced putting one-handed a few times
—Flexibility appeared excellent despite the cool conditions. No 80% swings as we’ve seen in run-ups or early week of majors.
—He took some big swipes at tee shots and reached the 607-yard 4th hole in when the fog had rolled in. His back clearly feels good.
—Mood was great, relaxed and focused.
A couple of Tweets I shared of his swing and putting one-handed:
