Tiger Woods was playing the par 4 eleventh hole at the AT&T National on Saturday. Holding a two shot lead, he promptly hooked one off the tee into the rough. He then hit his second into a bunker 50 yards from the green.
The CBS announcers set the stage:
“This is where the average golfer dumps it in the next bunker in front of the green, but Tiger Woods is anything but average.”
Right on cue, Tiger catches it way fat as his hands get ahead of the club and DUMPS it in the next bunker. Brilliant!
Hey Tiger, check out Phil’s DVD. He has a whole section on 50 yard bunker shots.
Remember Tiger, the most important thing when playing out of the bunker is “to continue your hands into the finish.”
The fun doesn’t end there as he blows his next shot from the closer bunker and two putts for double. Ouch!
