Nine reasons Tiger will rule golf again

2012-02-09T22:08:22Z

Insult to injuries
PRO: “I’ve been able to train again,” Woods says. “Rehabbing and training are two totally different scenarios. I’ve been rehabbing pretty much the entire last couple of years. Now I’m healthy enough to train without issue. My body’s feeling explosive again. … I can literally train all day now.” Mizuno JPX 800 Forged Irons
CON: His left knee. Dating to 1994, when he had two benign tumors removed and scar tissues repaired, he’s had four operations on his knee, including a major reconstruction in 2008 after he won the U.S. Open. “That’s the only worry,” CBS golf analyst David Feherty says. “ For a right-handed player, there is probably no such worse problem you can have. Your frame has to absorb that shock of the swing, and all the energy dissipates into the left knee area.”
2. History of winning
PRO: The guy knows how to win — Mizuno JPX 800 Forged Irons
wins, 71 PGA Tour victories, 14 major championships, three U.S. Amateurs. “There is no current player that has the portfolio of good memories, of good shots, and of good comebacks and good victories,” three-time PGA Tour winner Camilo Villegas says. “ It’s this simple - if you stand on the first tee and he’s won about 100 times around the world and you’ve won two or three, who do you think has the advantage?”
CON: The Indianapolis Colts and Washington Wizards have both won more frequently in the last couple of years than Tiger. Woods hasn’t won an official event since the 2009 Australian Masters, two weeks before scandal turned his world on end. And he hasn’t won a PGA Tour event since the 2009 BMW Championship.
3. What of theMizuno JPX 800 Forged Irons
?
PRO: Woods, one of the best putters of all time, showed some of his old magic when he closed with two birdies — from 15 and 6 feet — on the final two holes to beat 2007 Masters champ Zach Johnson by one shot to win the unofficial Chevron World Challenge in December.
CON: He missed two bunnies during his electrifying final-round charge in the 2011 Masters — a 3-footer for par on the 12thand a 4-footer for eagle on the 15th. In 2008 and 2009, he ranked first and fourth, respectively, on the Tour in putting average inside 5 feet. In 2010 and 2011, he ranked 23rd and 62nd. “He has to recapture that me-against-the-world attitude and that he’s the best putter alive,” CBS golf analyst Peter Kostis says. “ He lost that over the last couple of years.”

Stone in command at SA Amateur

2012-02-09T22:04:41Z

Brandon Stone extended his lead to all of five strokes in Wednesday’s second round of the South African Stroke Play Championship.

The country’s leading amateur took route 66 for a one shot lead on Tuesday and maintained his irrepressible form on Wednesday with a four-under-par 68 to set the midway target at 10 under 134. Ping i20 Irons

SA number two, Haydn Porteous, together with Desne van den Bergh and Callum Mowat head the local challenge at five under while alongside them is Italy’s Francesco Bolognez, the leading international pursuer.

Porteous signed for a 71 while Van den Berg, Mowat and Bolognezi each carded a 70.

England’s Toby Tree is back in contention at four under after firing a three-under-par 69 a week after claiming the Gauteng North Stroke Ping i20 Irons
Play title.

He shares sixth place with Lionel Weber of France, who hung on with a 73, and local golfer JD Oosthuizen, who stayed in touch with a 71.

Soweto Country Club’s Muzi Nethenzwi fired a 70 to claim a share of eighth with Gert Myburgh with a three-under-par 141 total.

But right now Stone looks the man to beat.

The 18-year-old Gauteng North golfer got off to a rocky start with a bogey at the 10th, but hit back immediately with a birdie at the 11th for what he described as his best hole of the day. Ping i20 Irons

“I hit my tee shot into the fairway trap on the left and I had about 120m left to a back pin, which is always tricky,” he recalled.

“Then I hit an unbelievable gap-wedge to about 15 foot and holed it for birdie. That was just the kind of result I needed to get the momentum back after my opening bogey.” PING Men’s i20 TFC Driver

Stone enjoyed a brace of birdies at 14 and 15 to turn in 34 and birdied the second to move to three under. But after four pars, he fell foul of the flat stick and three-putted from 20 feet.

But he hit back once more, this time with back-to-back birdies at the closing holes.

Despite his big lead, Stone is taking nothing for granted

“I’ve got a five shot lead but there will be at least 60 guys coming for me,” he said. PING Men’s i20 TFC Driver

“If I’m not at the top of my game, they will catch me. So I’ll stick to the same game; it’s worked so far, so why change it?

Stone was speaking about how he wants to win a title he let slip through his fingers last year, compatriot Leonard Loxton had his own reason to celebrate.

The former professional is giving the SA Stroke Play one more shot and under the guidance of his caddie, 14-time Sunshine Tour winner Jean Hugo, shot a 73 to come in one shot under the cut set at six-over-par 150PING Men’s i20 TFC Driver

“Now the real work starts for Leonard,” said Hugo. “I’ve done my bit and got him past the cut; now the rest is up to him.”

Rock ready to roll

2012-02-09T21:56:07Z

Having tamed the Tiger in spectacular fashion at the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship for a well deserved second European Tour victory, you’d be forgiven for thinking he was still celebrating, but after sleeping in his car when it was stuck in snow on the M25 last weekend, Rock is ready to get down to business again. TaylorMade RocketBallZ RBZ Irons with graphite shafts

“That brought me back down to earth pretty quick,” said the Englishman.

His victory a fortnight ago propelled him to 58th on the world rankings, good enough to secure a spot in the 64-man Accenture world match play championship in Arizona later this month.

For Rock, the next few weeks will be about trying to build on his recent success and hopefully getting into the top 50 in the world, which would guarantee him a spot in April’s Masters Tournament.

“I didn’t think that would be in the pipeline in the next few years, but I’ve got the opportunity to play in a few big tournaments if I can keep up a decent run,” he told reporters at the Emirates Club.

“As much as I was tempted to sit back and enjoy it for a bit more, I needed to get myself back and focus on myTaylorMade RocketBallZ RBZ Irons with graphite shafts

“I am a big believer in momentum. In my starting years I would have one good tournament and the next one would be a good way down the road.

“I never built on it, I never had two or three good weeks in a row. To make the most out of your game you need to have those good stretches of three to four weeks.

“You’ve got to roll with the momentum, you got to capitalise on it and make it work for you. And I think I have started to do that in the last couple of years.

“Two weeks ago I didn’t even think the Match Play, Doral (the season’s second world championship on March 8-11) and The Masters were on the cards.

“I booked weeks off, so the schedule has changed and the practice routine has changed a bit too. I am very excited. TaylorMade RocketBallZ RBZ Irons with graphite shafts

“It’s massively overwhelming. I’m just a normal golfer who’s done something that’s attracted attention. I have Tiger Woods to thank for that - I owe him a beer.”

Ladies primed for Royal Melbourne

2012-02-09T21:51:43Z

For the first time in its storied history, Royal Melbourne Golf Club will be the host of a women’s professional golf event with 156 players competing this week for a $1.1 million, or €845,210, purse. TaylorMade Rossa Corza Ghost Putter

Rolex World No.1 Yani Tseng, who claimed the title last year at Commonwealth Golf Club, is looking for an unprecedented third consecutive ISPS Handa Women’s Australian Open title.

With a total of six of the top-10 players in the Rolex Rankings present, her challengers include World No.2 Suzann Pettersen, World No.4 Cristie Kerr, No. 7 Jiyai Shin, No. 9 Stacy Lewis and No. 10 Brittany Lincicome.

Tseng captured a total of 12 victories worldwide in 2011 while establishing herself as the clear player to beat in women’s golf.

She set up her season with two wins in Australia and said: “That was one of my best memories ever. I played TaylorMade Rossa Corza Ghost Putter
at Commonwealth the last two years. I am very happy to be back here and play Royal Melbourne.

“It is an unbelievable golf course. It was pretty tough. The greens were fast. I am very excited and can’t wait to go out and have fun.”

She is hoping that some recent swing changes will pay off this week.

“This is a new year for me. I have been working real hard in the off season to change my swing a bit, to make TaylorMade Rossa Corza Ghost Putter
more consistent. I think I am ready for this year.

“I have tried to change my back swing. I have tried to get physically stronger, so my swing can match my physique. I have been working out very good. My trainer was in Orlando with me last month, and my coach. We work really hard.
“I have more power. I don’t swing as hard as before. I feel I am swinging easier and striking the ball better.

I feel that if I swing 70-80 percent, the ball is still flying better than before. I always tried to swing really hard. Now I don’t swing so hard but the ball still goes that far. I am very happy about that...I can still rip TaylorMade Rossa Corza Ghost Putter

For Norwegian Pettersen, a member of the victorious European Solheim Cup team in Ireland last September, the off-season provided the perfect opportunity to take up a new hobby: cycling. She has been spending over an hour each morning on her new bike and now feels fit and ready to go.

Ladies primed for Royal Melbourne(2)

2012-02-09T21:47:11Z

Pettersen, who won the Ladies Irish Open on the LET and twice on the LPGA in 2011, watched the Presidents Cup on TV and said: “I can’t wait to putt off these greens. I found it fun to see the guys struggle as much as they did here. But that was PING Men’s i20 TFC Driver
play. You can just pick it up and go to the next tee. You have just lost the hole. Here you have to put a score together, maybe play a bit more conservative.”

She spoke of her dream to become World No.1: “I feel like my game is there. Yani has a great head start. It will probably take more than a season to catch up with her. I don’t really look at her game. I look at my game. What can I do better to get my game more consistent and to get the most out of it. But she is a great No. 1. She is a very aggressive player, very fearless and obviously has a lot of confidence. I’ve beaten her before so I know I can do it. PING Men’s i20 TFC Driver

Four-time event champion Webb, who has been made an honorary member of Royal Melbourne, has also made some recent swing changes and revealed that she is targeting the 2016 Olympic Games. “The Olympics are still the thing I am setting my sights on. If retirement was on the cards, I would not have made these swing changes or worked as hard as I did in the off season,” she said.

The European challengers include Christel Boeljon, who will be full of confidence following her win at the Gold Coast RACV Australian Ladies Masters on Sunday. She is one of nine victorious European Solheim Cup team members in the field along with Pettersen, Laura Davies, Melissa Reid, Sophie Gustafson, Sandra Gal, Caroline Hedwall, Azahara Munoz and Anna Nordqvist. PING Men’s i20 TFC Driver

The two-time event champion in 2004 and 2009, Davies played a rare practice round on Tuesday, hinting that she is up for the title. Gustafson won the championship in 2001.

Reid, the runner-up in 2011, also has a fantastic record on Melbourne’s sandbelt courses, having finished third on her professional debut at Kingston Heath in 2007. At the time, she did not have a full card from Qualifying School but received a sponsor’s invitation and was able to play in the remaining Ladies European Tour schedule as a result of her being in the top 20 on the Money List, allowing her to start her now flourishing career.

Australians hoping to claim their national title include the 2011 Sanya Ladies Open champion Frances Bondad, Karen Lunn, Sarah Kemp, Katherine Hull and Nikki Campbell. PING Men’s i20 TFC Driver

The teenagers cannot be ruled out, especially the 14-year-old New Zealander Lydia Ko, the top-ranked golfer in the women’s World Amateur Golf Ranking (WAGR), who last month became one of the youngest ever winners of a professional tour event with a four-shot victory in the Women’s New South Wales Open. January also saw her become the youngest winner of the Australian Women’s Amateur following a second place finish in the Australian Women’s Stroke Play Championship.

Ping Anser Forged Irons feels great

I had the Ping Anser Forged Irons and the s-56 in dynamic gold s300 and they were both at D2. Same setup and there were mild differences in trajectory and to be honest I didn’t see the difference. The feel was different between the two. S-56 are cast and the Anser are forged using a single billet of 8620. The forged Anser had a more muted feel and trying to put feel in words is like trying to write about the taste differences in food or wine. I will try. The Anser felt as if the event of the hit took longer than the s-56. Meaning at impact the feeling of the impact took longer to experience than the event of the s56. Another way to say it was the mid and bass ranges were accentuated and the S-56 had more mid and treble. Hope that covered it. LOL. Seriously the feel of the 2 were close but the Ansers are softer and more muted than the s-56. The same type of feel can be experienced hitting a Titleist AP-2 iron. While you don’t get that quick jump of solid soft feel you might experience through a true muscle back you do get a great longer more muted feel in the Anser. It is like you keep the ball of the face for a millisecond more than another Ping iron.

Foster leads at Gleneagles

2012-02-08T22:27:05Z

The 36-year-old leads Spaniard Ignacio Garrido and Argentina’s Tano Goya by one shot on a day that saw a two and a half hour delay due to morning fog, leaving many of the later starters still out on the course when
Mizuno MP-59 Iron Set
stopped play.

Denmark’s Thomas Bjorn, Irishman Peter Lawrie and Chilean Felipe Aguilar are a further shot behind Garrido and Goya after respective 68s, while a whole host of players lie on three under - several of whom are yet to complete their first rounds.

Foster started on the back nine, and after a par on the tenth, he rattled off four consecutive birdies before adding two more at the 17th and 18th.

Already six under at the turn, he had to settle for two more birdies and two bogeys on his back nine to finish on six under par for the tournament.

“It was a good, solid day. My caddie was quite good actually,” Foster said.

“Obviously being seven under I felt like I could have been a couple better and all of a sudden, going back to 5 you don’t think you’re going any good and you’re still five under par starting the tournament, which is in a great position to be in.”

Foster, whose sole European Tour victory came eight years ago, has not only put himself in pole position at Gleneagles, he’s given himself a chance of making the
Mizuno MP-59 Iron Set
for the Seve Trophy against Continental Europe next month. It comes on the back of one of his best seasons yet, and it’s a prospect he’s excited about.

“I’ve been trying hard all year to make it and if it comes around it will be a massive thing for me,” he said.

Not even a reported problem with bees and wasps on the course could deter Foster on Thursday.

“I remember having to make a birdie putt with a wasp on the ball,” he added.

“It’s going to come off when you hit it and I just felt in a good place, so I hit the putt.”

The fog delay meant a lot of waiting around, and Foster used that time to warm up - three times.

“I wanted to get loose and be ready to go, so it was a good sacrifice to do it,” he explained.

Foster has put himself in good positions before this year - he led with one round left to play
Mizuno MP-59 Iron Set
at both the BMW International and the French Open, but he could do no better than third and joint-second respectively.

“I learned a lot from that,” he said. “I would say I lost that tournament through nerves really, just not controlling myself.

“But I think it took that week for me to be able to play the way I’ve been playing at the moment, where I have more belief in myself and know I can do it.

“I think I’m a better person and a better player who

.”

Elsewhere, Nick Dougherty, who is trying to end a run of 20 successive missed cuts, sadly showed few signs of a return to form, eventually shooting a four-over 76 that included a quadruple-bogey seven on the par three sixth.
