Tiger was never really a threat to miss the cut unless something completely imploded on the back nine. A bogey at the 9th hole sent him out in 38 and way out of sight of the leaders, Byrson DeChambeau and Henrik Stenson, who got in the clubhouse early at 11-under. He gave himself plenty of birdie opportunities on Friday, but repeatedly burned edges or just missed the cup. The range form didn’t carry over to the first tee and the result was a chip-out back into the fairway and an opening bogey.įrom there, Tiger spent much of the opening nine calmly putting pars up on the board. Then, just like you do at the local muni, he left the range and went to the first tee and promptly snapped one left off the grid. From accounts on the ground, Tiger was hitting a low stinger driving iron on the range to perfection before the round. There were ups and downs, but it was a mostly uneventful five-hour march around Bay Hill. Tiger finished off his second round of the Arnold Palmer Invitational with an ever-par 72. Every single round can’t contain some of the fireworks we got in the last three or four rounds in both Tampa and on Thursday in Orlando. Boring is better than the downward depressing spiral we got in so many rounds in recent years. We were due for a relatively slow loop and that’s what we got on Friday afternoon at Bay Hill. Not every Tiger Woods round can be a shaken up can of Monster energy.
