The Outlook
Tiger is still trying to find a way to piece everything together. One week it seems like he’s stuffing every iron shot to five feet and missing the putts. The next, he’s hitting the ball all over but scrambling and draining putts to stay afloat. At some point this year, he’s going to sync everything up and win, but I just don’t know if the U.S. Open is the place. Shinnecock will force him to hit a lot of drivers, and that’s been the most inconsistent club in his bag. Can Tiger win? Of course. But with his price, I’d just want to see everything come together coming into the week, like we have with a guy like Justin Rose, rather than placing the bet and hoping it all clicks.
