TT Postscript: Woods not ready for the major heat
SOUTHAMPTON, N.Y. Tiger Woods played in the shadow of world No. 1 Dustin Johnson during two rounds at the U.S. Open. OK, maybe thats not really possible, but Woods was second fiddle to all that sweet music Johnson was making on his run up the leaderboard.My thoughts on Tigers 2-over-par 72 on Friday: Lets cut to the chase. As much as Tiger grinded, as much promise as he continued to see in his swing and ball striking, his overall game isnt ready for major championship heat. Not close. Not yet. Too many big numbers. He had a triple bogey and two double bogeys on Thursday and another double bogey on Friday. Yes, if you throw out the first hole he was 5 over on it he would be playing this weekend, but every player would love a couple mulligans this week. Shinnecock was tough on everyone, but Tigers judged by a different standard. He isnt everyone, and he doesnt want to be. You could hear that in his frustration after. He doesnt want to be judged like the guys in the middle of the pack, but the truth is he wasnt good enough this week to hang with the guys in the middle of the pack. At 10 over through two days, he looked resigned to heading home with the rest of the guys missing the cut.
U.S. Open: Scores | Live blog | Full coverageTiger is still a work in progress. I get that. Hes still rebuilding, still addressing what time lost and all kinds of physical and other injury have done to him, but major championships arent rehab starts. With driver in hand, Tiger looked confident. He ripped some terrific tee shots, long and straight. He hit 11 of 14 fairways. Thats a great sign going forward. He closed with back-to-back birdies that made all my followers wonder what may be close to coming back together again. There's a foundation to keep building upon. His iron play? Not as good. It was spotty, not consistent enough, understandable in Thursdays winds but less so on Friday. His wedge play wasnt good at all. He squandered a number of chances from the middle of fairways with wedge in hand. In Thursdays winds, with the course so firm, that was going to happen. But Friday, he failed to give himself close looks with Shinnecock about as soft as players were going to see it. He hit 9 of 18 greens, but if you were looking at the targets he wanted to hit, he was less proficient. His short game wasnt good enough, either. He made a mess of the first hole making that triple on Thursday. It was revealing how much better Johnson scrambled over both days. And from there, Tiger was exasperated with his putter. It goes beyond his four-putt on Thursday. I havent made anything the last two days, he said. Its been an issue over his last few starts, and its what really kept him from making it into the weekend this week. Overall, Tiger was excited about his ball striking, what that control can mean, but major championship heat and playing alongside Johnson showed just how much work is left. Johnson didnt make any of the big mistakes that Tiger made, and he finished 14 shots better than Tiger.
