Golf news - Tiger surges to the top after divorce
Strange but true, Tiger Woods smashes a 65 at the Ridgewood country club, in the first round of the playoffs at Barclays.
The news is true and the speculations were right that Tiger will come back to his roaring form after his divorce issue gets settled, and this is what happened on the first day of the playoff. Tiger Woods came back to the top of the leader board with a six under 65, giving a panic attack to the other contenders who were in the search of the opportunity to make a cut in the Ryder cup.
The top golf ace, Tiger Woods whose divorce with Elin Nordegren got finalized this Monday, started the round with a birdie at the 1st hole. He then proceeded forward and delivered three more at the third, fifth and the seventh hole of the front nine. It was so unlike him, as his performance in last six months was a complete havoc with terrible putting, bad swings and a score card full of bogeys. However, at Ridgewood country club the only putt which Tiger Woods missed was at the twelfth hole but he later came up with two birdies at the next two holes and an eight-foot birdie putt at the final eighteenth hole of the back nine. Nonetheless, it was not only Tiger to come up with exceptional performance; Vaughan Taylor too stood at the first spot with a six under.
According to Tiger Woods, he had to cash on the opportunity of the fresh greens and no winds prevailing on the course, and this is what he did. In fact his entire group that came out early to tee off, delivered some fine putts at the front nine. Commenting on his own swings, he said that he was contended with the fact that he did some very good swings today, although he was hitting the ball everywhere. Seems like the results of Sean Foley Swings guidance has begun to show its colours.
The experts say that Tiger Woods performed outclass, as he was in control of his ball and the way he hit at the first day of the Barclays was similar to his performance at the US open 2010. This seems like a good comment for Tiger after a long time.
The round was also a great start for the world number, currently standing at the 112th FedEx ranking and awaiting U.S team Ryder Captain Corey Pavin to hand him a wild card. However, after this splendid performance the 34-year-old is surely lined up to make his way to the Deutsche Bank Championship, which is the second step of the playoffs taking place in Boston. Tiger needs to fall back in the top hundreds in order to make a cut in the next event.
The number two player of the day, Vaughan Taylor started the front nine with very slow scores, which were mostly pars but proceeded to the back nine. He birdied four of the last six holes and got himself parallel to the world number 1. The next player at 5 under was Ryan Palmer who started out loud with seven birdies in the front nine but slowed down in the back nine after he bogeyed the tenth hole, although he came back to his striking form by birding the thirteenth hole, and hence posting a score of five under, on the leader board.
The Barclays is currently taking place at Ridgewood country club New Jersey. Tiger’s comeback startled everyone with a score of 65. He managed to re-gain the top 1 position on the leader board, which he lost long time back. According to the analyst this was a fine performance given by the player from whom no one was expecting something so refreshing.
