2019 U.S. Open: Tiger Woods Finishes With a Flourish

After bogeying four of his first six holes, three-time U.S. Open champion Tiger Woods caught fire and finished with six birdies, including four over his final six holes, to shoot 2-under-par 69 in the final round of the 2019 U.S. Open at Pebble Beach (Calif.) Golf Links. It was his best U.S. Open round in a decade, putting him at 2 under par for the championship.

I thought 'He was BACK' after The 2019 Masters...? I hate to break it to you folks but - his finer days are gone. He might have a flash once in a while.

[@simonhill1590]

Tiger's 43. There are nine players older than he who won a major (and most are in the modern era). Given Tiger is (subjectively) the greatest player to ever grace the game I don't think it's unreasonable to see him in contention for more majors over the ensuing seven years. 25 more to go until his 50th birthday. Only injury, not his will to win (as evidenced over holes 61-72 today), will thwart him.

I think Tiger is just playing it safe right now, and not trying to over do it with his back and body, I expect him to rest for a few weeks, and start to turn his game up a bit this summer. Not saying that he is going to dominate the way that he did 10 years ago, but I expect to see him playing at a really high level this summer, especially in the FedEx Cup Playoffs which is 4 big tournaments. I believe that Tiger is in this for the long haul, and not short term success, he's 43, but has recently said that he would like to give himself the best chance to win more majors over the next 10 years.

Tiger didnt outgolf these guys, but just hung on for a gift. Even Koepka missed his last putt that was very makeable. Almost looked fixed for him to miss.

@@terrythomas790 Handed a Masters victory? That's the dumbest shhh I've read in a while. Is this Brooks' burner account?

He's Top 15 on the money list despite playing less than any guy among the Top 170 players. I guess the other guys handed him the Tour Championship win and 7 top 10 finishes last year, eh? Tiger is only going to play 12 to 15 tourneys a year from here on out, but when he plays he moves the needle. He'll do just enough to make cuts in most, contend in a few, and rack up a win here and there. We get to enjoy this golden era a little bit longer before Tiger decides he can no longer compete and decides to hang it up. For now, deal with it.

[@Orcinus1967]

@@arysetiadi6344 Many factors go into golfs measure of greatness. I am no expert. I agree that overall wins and the time span to achieve them.. and the competition level..all are valid measures. As well as injury. Nicholas played injured for example. So overcoming adversity could be a factor one would use if one really wanted to put a fine point on it. I do think that Major victories are important in that the pressure is greater. More press, a bigger stage, bigger crowds, more $$ and potential endorsements. More internal pressure golfers put on themselves. You and I are familiar with judging across a variety of statistics baselines etc. Total wins is a top measure indeed. Yet...Majors will remain one of the measuring bars . If only because former golfers/ on air personalities keep using it. What I am saying is until Tiger equals or betters Nicholas" 18 Major victories, he will still be "arguably" the GOAT. I happen to think he is already. But I also think 18 Major wins would cement the argument. And as witnessed in this very thread...others will claim Nicholas faced greater competition, which has been disputed and probably always will be. Just like Michael Jordan. Cheers.

@@Recon-cv1fe I agree by nature of Nicholas coming first chronologically, Tiger will always be in his shadow. This is a long article but in terms of competition the author states: "Tiger’s peers never put pressure on him on a Sunday and he never put pressure on them. He dominated in an era of chokers. Jack dominated in an era of legends.". ftw.usatoday.com/2018/04/tiger-woods-jack-nickalus. Another analyst says that is not so. The argument being Tiger faces deeper competition, Nicholas only had to fend off a few top qualifiers. I am trying to find that article...once I do I will edit this or add it. Another consideration. Jack had back injuries in an era before arthroscopy and disc replacement and successful back fusions and knee repacements.. without the variety of medicines and scanning machines we have today. Tigers career could have ended much sooner if he played when Nicholas did, and Nicholas much longer and maybe better if he played today.

His biggest problem early was that he looked like he didn't give a shit haha

Coming up shorter than five Danny Devitos

[@morgancross5481]

He's got that neck tape on, the cold must have made the back and neck pretty stiff. Old man problems. :p

What was going on for the first six holes? Many of those shots were very unTigerlike. Keeping the bogey on 5, but losing the other 3 on holes 1,2, and 6, then adding a birdie on 1, 4, and 6, his 69 becomes a 64, and gets him in the clubhouse st 7 under. If any weather came in, he's in a decent spot. But it didn't, and play continued as expected. But what was going with the iron play, leaving all these shots short, and then the 3 putts are a bit out of control. Not that anybody was gonna beat Woodland this week, with his scrambling ranking coming in around 169th, but this week he ranked #1, and with his game tee to green, and solid putting, he looked like a good option for Sunday. Koepka made a charge, but couldn't quite hole the extra 2 or 3 putts. Still a good week.

Those first 6 holes were a nightmare

13:46 *hits excellent bunker shot to 2 feet* “He just didn’t hit it” - dumb announcer

[@owennielsen9792]

It’s really frustrating when golf announcers make stupid comments just to fill up air time. We just want to watch, not listen to unqualified announcers (mostly) ridiculing every last shot by the best players in the world.
