Pga Championship Warns Hole From Career

Golf Betting Lines

With this victory, Tiger Woods became the first player to successfully defend the British Open title since Tom Watson in 1982-83.

 

He tied Walter Hagen for second on the professional majors won list with 11.

 

His major breakdown goes like this: Masters (1997, 2001, 2002, 2005); U.S. Open (2000, 2002), British Open (2000, 2005, 2006) and PGA Championship (1999, 2000).

 

* There was some sort of protest on the 18th green when the final pair waited to hit their approaches. Purple paint cannisters were broken on the green, but it did not impact either players' shots.

 

* The last player to be docked a stroke for slow play in a major championship was Steve Lowery at the 2004 PGA Championship. He was in the first group out in the first round.

 

* The most difficult hole in round four was the par-four second. It played to an average of 4.41 on Sunday, but the par-four 12th was the hardest during the championship. It played to an average of 4.35.

 

* Carnoustie will host next year's British Open Championship. The last time the event was held at Carnoustie was 1999 when Paul Lawrie won a playoff against 1997 winner Justin Leonard and Jean van de Velde. The trio got in at plus-six, but the tournament is most famous for Van de Velde's horrible collapse on the 72nd hole.

 

I've had a day or two to think about this British Open and now feel ready to make this somewhat bold statement - I think this was his greatest major victory since the Masters in 1997.

 

For a man who is known for his length and how that length and style of play could lead him to 10 green jackets, Woods played in a completely opposite manner at Hoylake. He hit one driver the whole week. Think about that for one minute...

 

All Woods did was hit two-irons with an occasional three-wood. He didn't need anything else considering the fairways were faster than a bowling lane. That led Woods to hit almost 85 percent of the fairways. That's staggering. Think about that for one minute...

•    @UGTipster Probably wise at this stage of career although long term I think 2m4/5f may be optimum. 3m possibly within range as well.
