Rory's Tooth

Seems like he threw in the towel and then thought, I better have a medical reason to avoid PGA Tour suspension. He was 7 over through 8, but wasn't mathematically out of making the cut, doubt you are going 7 under on the front at PGA National, but you have to try. He shouldn't have quit, even if you can't think straight you have to post your number. 

And this is from a guy who has had his share of large numbers in the last decade.​

Father’s Day

/

Bang - Tiger jumps from his sleep - it is 2am, Fathers Day, and he is alone in his San Francisco pent house. The regret, the humiliation, how his life has unravelled. His kids are not with him, would not be on 18 to hug him when he finishes, won’t watch him collect his next major trophy. He won’t get to celebrate his latest major and his daughter’s 5th birthday on Monday. His son won’t join him on the practice green before his round and tell him happy Father’s Day go get me a trophy.

What would Tiger do different? Would he still have the affairs, live recklessly with no conscious, and decieve his family? What would he change if he could, what would be different? Surely these questions fill his inner soul and haunt Tiger daily, but especially on days like these which should be so special, the loneliness must be overbearing.

Tiger, a super human golfer, is still human and can not block thoughts of his ex and kids and what he could have done different from his psyche on this Father’s Day. A wandering mind Sunday at Olympic is dangerous. Yesterday’s 75 which dropped him from T1 to T14 could look like a small drop to the cliff he falls from this Father’s Day.
