    It would be safe to say his "comeback" is on pause after that perfomance. Had me fooled this time. The guys problem is still between his ears and what he's trying to do with his golf swing/foley. I said it long ago, he needs to start playing golf again. He is so wrapped up in the technical aspect and the physics of his golf swing he's not even playing golf anymore. Until he can go free wheel it again he'll struggle with flashes of greatness (Bay Hill). Just too worried about where the club is at every position of his swing. Lost the intangible that made him Tiger. Lose the gurus Tiger and start hitting shots and PLAYING golf. If a concept or swing take this long to put in place and be tournament tested, maybe it's time to scratch it.

    Seems to me "Free Wheelin'" is what got him into his slump... Should've stayed home with his gorgeous bride. What a bone head.

    Let your fountain be blessed, And rejoice with the wife of your youth.

    Germ, next year I am letting you fill out my Masters pool. Well done sir! Wish I would have thought about the General Lee thing. I wonder if he drove it to Augusta? :D

    How can you not like a guy that just flat out cries on his mom's shoulder.

    His wife is 6' 3'' and played in the final 4 at Georgia. I would love to cry on her shoulder. If I could reach it:)

    That shot by Bubba, out of the trees, was one of the best shots I've ever seen. He said he hooked it about 40 yards.
    Unreal shot in that situation.

    Th
    Not to take anything away from the moment, but that shot wasn't half as hard as people make it out to be. He had a clear lane through the trees to start the ball out. Hooking the ball that far isn't really that hard (especially for a pro). He didn't have to tinker with trajectory,. He had to hook it to a green at that angle would recieve a hook spin. Pine straw isn't the end of the world to hit from. It's not really even that bad aside from balance issues. Again not to take anything away from Bubba or the moment but technically not that hard of a shot. Under the circumstances? Congrats on pulling anything off under that pressure.
