Rose and Tiger would have been a better match but that wasn't how they ended up yesterday. Rose did get a heluva lucky break on 18. They called it the 10 million dollar bounce. He might have been able to get down in 2 from the bunker but it was a lot easier on the green. It's funny because that is usually referred to as an 'amateur' mistake - underestimating the break and the ball going below the hole - misread of the break or not enough speed. But, if it misses over the top, because of too much speed, then it may run a long way. I usually expect pros to adjust better. I agree they were usually a tap in away. The only really ugly shot I saw was air mailing the ball out of the trap, over the green and 30 yards up the fairway. There were a lot of comments by the announcers on the difficulty of the pin placements out there. |

If you weren't under par you didn't even make the second page of the leader board |
