Tiger Woods Shotlink Stats Summary at 2013 Arnold Palmer Invitational

Top Stat: Strokes Gained Putting

Tiger smilingThis is where Woods blitzed the field at Bay Hill. Thorbjorn Olesen’s putting performance of 1.825 strokes gained on the green was good enough for second place in the stat and seventh place in the tournament, but Woods score 2.798 was almost a full shot higher. That’s incredible considering his proximity to the hole average distance of 38 feet.

Worst Stat: Driving Accuracy

For the second tournament in succession Woods hit approx 53% of the fairways.  His exact clip at Bay Hill on shotlink was 53.57% putting him in the bottom half of the field.  It will be possible for Woods to win at Augusta with a similar driving performance, but there’s no way the Claret Jug and US Open Trophy will we won with anything but ramrod straight driving.  Those betting on a Tiger slam will be crossing their fingers for some more fairways.

 

Meaningless Stat: Driving Distance

Bay Hill is not a place to be judging driving distance as course management off the tee is key. Tiger’s distance stat of 279.3 yards clocked in at 49th; the leading driving distance for the week was 305 yards by Jimmy Walker.

Two Naked Pics Of Holly Sonders. The Big News To Emerge From The 2013 PGA Show

Image
The media centre at the 2013 PGA Show was buzzing yesterday.  Not because of anything that happened at the show.  God forbid! When I rocked in, several men (and one woman) were gathered around an iphone ogling and sharing  two pics of who they claimed were Holly Sonders naked. Now I have to hold my hands up and say, I had to google her to find out she’s from The Golf Channel. I don’t watch the Golf Channel because I don’t have an erectile dysfunction problem or need to rent a car from National.  I’m told adverts for both are all that’s on that channel. How they knew for certain it was her, I dont know.  Unless the cheeks of her ass were on her passport photo and they recognized them from there, but I doubt it. The First Pic The first pic is taken from behind. No pun intended.  The media guys say it was taken by her fiancee (?) and shows Holly in a white thong which has disappeared a dangerously long ways into the bummage.  I’m talking two aerial liquitabs and a hot whit

Sarah Stirk Nipple Gate: Navy Top Leaves Viewers Disappointed

Image
London: Sky Sports management this morning issued a statement  apologizing to subscribers after Sarah Stirk wore a navy dress live on air.  It is believed up to 60,000 horny golfers were left limp after they tuned in to final round coverage of the Valero Texas Open in the hope of getting a glimpse of the legendary Stirk starter buttons. “I pay my subscription, I’m bloody well entitled to see Sarah’s Wimbledon strawberries” said factory worker Paul Manning 52 from Hereford. “I even missed the ten minute freeview, coz my mate Derek tweeted that Stirk was going into the shot centre for ten minutes at 11pm”. The Sky statement read: We apologize unreservedly for the navy dress Sarah wore during last nights broadcast, through which no nipples were visible. This was due to a wardrobe malfunction. However we do intend to rectify this during our US Masters coverage and assure viewers that plenty of bridge rivets will be on show, both from Sarah and special guest Colin Montgomeri
