Tiger on 73: No illness or injury, just bad golf
Could you ask for Tiger to play any better this year all things considered? I don't see how you can.
Trust me, I can't stand the man. But I know what it looks like when my day is about to be ruined with another Tiger Woods win. And the way he has been playing this year is what it looks like.
All said, Tiger does not need any excuses for a bad round. Any tour player regardless of how dialed in they are can shoot a 3 over or 3 under in any round. That is the DNA of golf. It's the consistency that makes golf the hardest sport in the world to master.
But that is not good enough for that massive tool Bob Harig at ESPN. He could not wait to jump on the excuse train. Going on pure speculation, Tiger's 3 over has to be because something is wrong with Tiger physically as far as Harig is concerned.
Look at how he creates this from nothing. Pure insanity.
" If there was something bothering Tiger Woods on Saturday during a steamy third round at Firestone Country Club, he was not saying"
"Woods has never been totally forthcoming in these situations, though he did admit after the first round of the Memorial Tournament in June that he sometimes wakes up with a stiff lower back, which is simply life for him as a 42-year-old golfer who has endured four back surgeries"
"Woods might not be in the kind of pain that he suffered through the past few years prior to spinal fusion surgery in April 2017 -- or any pain at all -- but he was clearly having some timing and speed issues"
