I just saw that Tiger Woods shot 75 in the third round of the Bridgestone tournament, after opening rounds of 74 and 72. Tiger has won this event at this golf course seven times. That means its basically like his home course. Yet, after three rounds, he stands 11 over par.
He indicated lately that he is not practicing. I think he could still shoot 68 on this course without practicing.
I have another theory. After the PGA Championship next week, his season is done. There is no way he gets his game turned around in time to compete, let alone win, at Whistling Straits, one of the most difficult golf courses in the country.
I think Tiger does not want to play the Ryder Cup. With this performance, why would Corey Pavin want him on the team? While he will still sit pretty high up the rankings, he likely will need a top 3 finish next week to play his way onto the team. I just don't think he wants to go. We'll certainly find out next week.
