Tough round one for Tiger in his own tournament
July 6th, 2007
I wisely left Tiger Woods out of my fantasy roster this week. You can be he hasn’t been getting much sleep with a new baby in the Woods house…. mansion.
En route to shooting a 73, Tiger had three 3-putts, seven bogeys and even hit a guy in the face with his drive.
That guy’s face will be for sale on ebay soon.
I think they said Tiger’s only played the course in a tournament setting once? Maybe one other time? So, he has no track record there. And it’s a par 70. According to some stats I saw last year or maybe the year before last I think on CBS, about 3/4 of Tiger’s wins have come from par 72 courses. So, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to pick someone else to win if the course is a par 70.
Interesting stat on Tiger. What a tournament Stuart Appleby is having so far. How about Charles Howell III missing another cut? Howell III is currently 5th in the FedEx Cup point standings, that is sure to change after this weekend.
