I guess he's not playing super terrible besides his triple on 2 though. Conditions seem pretty tough right now.
I hope he comes back to win.

I think it is too soon to say that. We shouldn't forget that a few months ago it was questionable whether Tiger would even be able to play the full year.
The biggest problem I see with Tiger is that each phase of his game has been good at one point or another this year, but he hasn't been able to put all of it together for a single tournament. Short game was great one tournament but he was wild off the tee; driving was good two weeks later but his putting failed; putter was good the tournament after that but his irons were off; etc. To me, that looks like a player coming off of a long layoff slowly regaining his game. At some point I think each phase will become more consistent so if he spends a week focusing on his driver, the other aspects of his game won't drop off. But I guess we'll see.
I should add that several other notable players are flirting with +10 with Tiger, including Jordan Spieth and Rory McIlroy

He's 10th in total strokes gained on the PGA Tour this year. 4th in strokes gained approaching the green. This is after taking essentially 2 years off. I think he wins a tournament by the end of the year, honestly.He's clearly not even the Tiger of 2013, but he's a ways off from being Jordan on the Wizards

Problem with that answer is that there is an exception to the rule that allows the committee to DQ a player for a "serious breach" of the rule. To me, Phil's "I did it on purpose because I didn't want the ball to roll of the green" answer sounds like a serious breach, to me.
Rickie putting hisself into contention for his first major again.

Only way he could have been disqualified was for a serious breach of etiquette, which this was far from. He took a stroke at a moving ball, and the rule that applies to that situation does not allow for a disqualification. You'd have to DQ him for a serious breach of etiquette, which this was not that close to (my understanding that's more for being a huge asshole on the course than anything else). It's a weird situation, because the rule on making a stroke on a moving ball doesn't really envision doing that to save yourself a bunch of strokes.
Of course, Phil is also a dumbass, because he could have just taken an unplayable and saved hisself a stroke.

The euro tour puts out the best vidoes. They have one of them hitting lefty as well that is good.
