    In at 33. Out at 40. Finishes at +1 for the day but got it to -4. All in all not a bad first round back.

    Yea a few bad swings all in all not bad. It does look a little different this comeback. He's hitting draws and fades...not just all fades..Duffed one pitch but had 3 really good ones. Just my opinion but i think he actually cares now. I don't think he put the time in the practice range before.

    Yeah, but there are five people ahead of him only by 1 stroke. Definitely not going to win though.

    3 under through nine. Let's see if there is improvement on the back nine.

    I am a Tiger fan. It is a good start for someone coming off a 400 day break.

    -7 on the day..clean card for tiger. Pretty impressive. A few bad holes away from being in contention to win.

    Yeah, a lot of positives to take out of this. No bogeys. Able to go low when the course is easy like the other players. Look forward to seeing him play a more difficult course. Hopefully the wind picks up on the weekend and the pin placements are tougher.

    Basically showed he can go low like the others..he'll have some bad rounds but he'll win again if he can stay healthy. 2017 Masters Champion.

    It's been a great tournament for tiger so far. He's pin hunting again, no signs of the yips, back is holding up, hitting decent drives, and he's showing he can score with the youngest guys out there..so glad hes back.

    Perhaps but putting won't be a problem. Never has been. This guy matsuyama is on fire.

    Great week for Tiger. I think he beat everyone's expectations which is good even if they were low. If Tiger can find a way to get a win under his belt than the mental side of things will be fixed and his confidence will be high again. The field is just so much stronger now though, but none compare to Tiger at his prime. They all miss their cuts and disappear for stretches.

    -3 through the front 9. Not bad at all.

    Where is Cliffy??? He has to be loving this.

    Got myself a little vacation for talking politics. That'll teach me.

    Hilarious Twitter account. Podcast is good. Took some time to get rolling but has been pretty phenomenal the past month or so. He has to be getting Reed on sooner or later

    One of the guys behind this website.

    http://nolayingup.com/

    They created Tour Sauce

    http://nolayingup.com/category/tour-sauce/

    Their Twitter is also responsible for the PrayForTedScott hashtag among many other hilarious memes and the like. The players seem to get a kick out of it and it seems to have blown up over the past few months. Rory kinda talked shit to the podcast host at the Ryder Cup during the DJ/Koepka match, in a fun way. Then came on the podcast a few weeks later.

    Good article on them with some of their stuff highlighted
