Mike....I don't think the rough is as crazy as it has been the past few years at other venues.
I think Tiger wins this week...and the only reason I say that is from something I heard him say earlier this week. When he was asked about the changes to the golf course, part of his response was "The sight lines off the tee are still the same for me." As a competitor, that is a vastly underrated part of the game. If Tiger is comfortable standing on the tee and can visualize his tee shot, that is going to equate to him hitting more fairways. That in turn is gonna lead to him hitting more greens and the more often he s hitting into greens from the fairway, the better his chance of hitting it close. I still don't think the winning score will be very low, but I think he gets it done.
