The Bridgestone Invitational is over for Tiger Woods, and the leaders still don’t tee off for another couple of hours. Today Tiger scored a 77 to cap off the worst four days of scoring in his professional career, 18 over par.

Tiger said he wasn’t surprised by his performance this week. When asked why he wasn’t surprised about his performance by the press, his answer was, “it’s been a long year.”

In a few hours we’ll get to see if Phil Mickelson can climb up the leaderboard from 10th position to a top four, which would put in in the #1 world ranking.

It will be an interesting rest of the day and I’ll be sitting here watching it all because my back is out and I can’t play right now.

CDW Blink?

Check this out. This has been keeping me on the edge of my seat now for months. CDW has a series of ads with a guy from the PGA Tour who does their IT. He looks like a cool dude and he’s got a fun gig for sure.

The funny thing, is that in all of these ads I’ve never seen this guy blink. Just watch it and tell me if I’m crazy.

Tiger Woods quote of the day: “Go talk to the leaders”

My fellow golf blogger (who also qualifies as a golf writer) has a fun read on Tiger Woods’ post round comments today at the 3rd round of the Bridgestone Invitational. After a round of 75 where he mentally threw in the towel, Tiger told the press to “go talk to the leaders.”

Pop over to Jay’s blog to read more.

It is sort of interesting that the Bridgestone is a no-cut event. TW could have gone home already with a missed cut in a normal event, but has to endure the misery of not playing golf up to the level he or anyone else expects from him for this weekend. Obviously the pending divorce, which he isn’t talking about, is weighing heavily on his game.

Meanwhile Bubba Watson is looking good at the beginning of the round and has the lead. Phil Mickelson is one stroke back, smelling a #1 world ranking.

Bandit Wedge

I’ve been experimenting with a crazy wedge lately called the Bandit Wedge. This wedge reminds me of those no-shank F2 wedges which I reviewed clear back in March of 2006.

In working on my review here I’ve been trying to do some research on the Bandit Wedge, but there’s nothing out there. No web site to be found. I can’t find anything about this club anywhere online. So I’ll proceed solely on my experience with the club.

The Concept

Many people shank their wedges. I played with a guy who did it all the time. It is hard to watch. Fortunately I don’t shank my chips, but I do hit an occasional shank with full shots. I won’t be doing that with this club.

The Bandit has a bent hosel to prevent shanks. The head is perimeter weighted to make it easy to hit.

Mickelson could overtake Woods as #1 at this week’s Bridgestone Invitational

Tiger Woods is in jeopardy of losing his number one ranking at this week’s Bridgestone Invitational. Both Lee Westwood and Phil Mickelson had the chance to overtake Tiger coming into this weekend if TW, but Westwood has withdrawn with that same nagging leg injury he’s had for a few weeks. He will not be playing in next week’s PGA Championship either. Speculation is that he’s resting up the leg for the Ryder Cup.

Phil on the other hand, can overtake Tiger with a win or a top four and with Tiger finishing outside the top 37. With rounds of 74 + 72 (failing to break par in either of the first two rounds of the Bridgestone), Tiger currently sits at a tie for 72nd place.
