Thread: Throw it down big kella! Tiger -4 through 12 at Hazeltine, tied for lead on day 1.

Anatomy of a choke: Tiger choked. Missing that many putts on Sunday = choke. Blowing a four shot lead going into Saturday = choke. He did not show the classic 'Tiger killer instinct' his whole round on Sunday and certainly not on 17 and 18. Why not? Because he didn't have it. The killer instinct was stuck right there in his thyroid gland. That's what choking means.

tiger did choke, he shot over par and he missed every putt. tiger missed at least (from the top of my head) 8 putts that he normally makes. that said, we should be taking anything away from yang, he went-toe-to-toe with the big fella and not only came out victorious, but hit some big shots to do it. his sand shot on 13 (he had a weird angle to get at that ball, and managed to hit it close enough to save par), the eagle chip on 14, his approach...

throw it down big fella

Well they are already changing the rules for the new irons next year, which will make it harder to hit irons/wedges out of the rough. So either more tour players are going to carry utility clubs or they are going to have to regulate those also

Seriously, reverse the roles of what happened this past Sunday, and everyone would be talking about how Yang choked under the pressure of playing in the same final pairing with Tiger. Mickelson shooting the lowest final round score of any of the top 5 finishers at the US Open,...

I bet the PGA doesn't regulate chippers because they probably think that no pro in his right mind would ever put one of those in his bag. I just can't believe that people would actually buy those things, if I ever saw someone pull one of those out of the bag I'd probably laugh...

Man,Yang missed

Seems bush league to me. I think you missed my entire point by about 75 miles. I am saying that the PGA will make the chipper thing illegal, but then allow for someone to use hybrid/utility clubs. These clubs only...
