Tiger Woods shoots 43 in final nine collapse

When's the last time you saw Tiger Woods hit 2 balls into the water on consecutive holes? It happened today, at the Arnold Palmer Invitational. Just after Tiger pulled to within 1 stroke of the leaders (then at -6) on the front nine, Tiger went into a complete downward spiral. The back nine was probably the worst Tiger has played in over a year.

Vijay Singh appears headed to victory at -10.

WTF?

I didn't watch, but saw his card...

Seriously -- any explanation? 64 on Thursday, then playing like Daly on a bad day?

i think the guy is having major marital problems --- he married a gold digging euro - he is trying to be excited about being a father but he is married to arotten piece of euro trash who doesn't give a rats ass about his quest and doesn't support him in anyway--just watch tiger's mom around elin--she looks like she like to throw her into the nearest water hazard--my guess is they will call it quits by the end of '08 ---the final straw will be when the bitch from the far reaches of hell starts jet setting around the world on tiger's plane and leaves their child with the help-- hopefully tiger and his mom won't stand for that shit and they'll her her and her underwear out of the compound

It was pretty amazing, I'd never seen it before with Tiger, but he "Packed it in" like every other guy does when he blows the tournament. He stopped grinding! It was incredible!

It all happened on one shot, the 2nd on the 11th hole. He hit his drive into the rough and had no shot at the green. He decides to lay-up, and hits it into the rough...again! He then hacks it out to 15 ft for par. He hammers his putt 4-5 ft past the hole, and leaves himself a tricky slidder, and misses it for a double-bogey, leaves him 3 under par, tournament over (for him at least). From that point on you could see it in his posture...it was over, he didn't care anymore.

Vijah played amazing! Hats-off to him.

Tiger wins he is golf talk. He loses, he shows up, he doesn't show up, he is the topic. VJ won. Get over it. She is European. Get over it.
He loses, it is Europe's fault??? (We planted her in a European spy plot to take over the Majors...the only thing that REALLY matters in golf).

We won the Cup. Get over it.

I did wonder how the marriage would affect his play, but he had a great year last year.

Caly seems to have the most likely take. But this isn't the Tiger I knew, the one who could come back from 7 down with 7 to play. The one who shot below par the day after shooting 80-something in the 2001 (?) British.

Misses a gimmee in match play, blames a spike mark; falls apart this week after having the first-round lead....

As a huge Tiger fan, I'm worried....

LOL...leave it some eurotrash to start yapping about "the Cup" from out of nowhere. Yo, Euro...shut your piehole unless spoken to. Tiger chopping has nothing to do with our little bi-annual match.

Btw, think the euros will end their O'fer the century futility in the majors this year? It's only 2007 after all.

Tiger just blew it with his not being able to drain the short putts...just no focus...not the guy you see win with reliable short putting...he better get that corrected By April 8th.

when tiger isn't scrambling or hitting putts, he's done. it's always kind of been like that though hasn't it? even in 2000 when he was hitting fairways and greens, there was no one who could hang with him because he is a ridiculous clutch putter. nothing more demoralizing than knowing you're up against a guy who can hit any putt almost at will down the stretch.

his new swing puts more emphasis on putting/scrambling. when he loses that part of the game, he's in for a long day (well, a long day by "greatest player ever" standards). I really think it has more to do with his swing than his marriage and that we'll see him struggle to compete when he's (a) not making putts and/or (b) playing courses that require you to drive the ball straight.
