NASSAU, Bahamas Here are some things I think I think after Tiger Woods 4-under 68 Sunday in the final round of the Hero World Challenge at Albany: Well, that was a rousing success. No one not you, not me, not Tiger couldve predicted this week wouldve gone this well. The driving was tremendous, the putting was mostly solid and iron shots were crisp and piercing. Chipping needs work, but if thats the only quasi-negative thing you can say about the week then it was off-the-charts positive.
The 2-iron into the par-5 third nearly brought me to tears. It was tremendous. A massive rip at it that produced a high draw into the hole that carried nearly 270 yards? Are you kidding me? The only thing keeping it from being Woods best shot of the week was the fact that it didnt end up on the green. But, It was money, Woods said. Yes, yes it was. The double bogey on 10 was a huge buzzkill. Tiger played a flawless front-nine 31 that included an eagle and three birdies and Albany was buzzing. Bigly. The thing that stinks is that it didnt seem like double bogey was possible. He was short of the green in two, but his chip floated just a little past the pin and into a thick collar just off the green. He couldnt get up and down from there. The bogey-bogey finish doesnt matter. I mean, it matters, but no one should care. It took the steam out of the round and kept him from being able to say it was his best round of the week, but it will not dampen anything that happened this week. Tiger Woods played 72 holes in a golf tournament for the first time in a year. He was smiling. He was happy. He was hitting great shots. He was competitive. And he was wearing red and black, just the way Sundays in our sport should be. Final-round statistics were best of the week. Tiger hit 11 of 13 fairways and 13 of 18 greens and needed 28 putts. He wouldve loved the last number to be 26 (aforementioned bogeys on the last two), but driving and iron play were the best of the week in the last round of the week. Rafa Nadal was inside the ropes watching Tiger. Big dude, his left arm is enormous. Nadal and his posse walked all 18 holes with Tiger and lived and died with every shot and every putt. The 16-time Grand Slam singles champ and Tiger have become pretty good friends over the years and Woods was not surprised to see his buddy along for the ride. A lot of tweets today, all of them money, but these two set the tone for the entire day. Wasnt necessarily sure how it would go (on all fronts) but it turned out well (on all fronts).Please spare a thought for me. Tiger will show up here soon and when he does wearing red and black I may cry like a baby.— GC Tiger Tracker (@GCTigerTracker) December 3, 2017
Spare another thought for me. I also just ate the spicy sausage for breakfast. Total rookie move.— GC Tiger Tracker (@GCTigerTracker) December 3, 2017Where do we go from here? Tiger says he isnt sure, but I have a hunch that hes sure. If we believe him that he feels great theres no reason to believe he wont resume his full schedule. So that means Torrey Pines, Riviera, PGA National and Bay Hill before the Masters. Doesnt do anyone any good to look past that first week in April.
