3Jack Golf's PGA Tour Rundown: Week 22

Tiger Woods wins the Memorial.



I will have a post tomorrow regarding Tiger and his metrics. I will say that I noticed at the Memorial, he was not getting ‘laid off’ at the top of his swing, except when he was purposely hitting a sizeable fade ball. I think that he should probably look to get rid of the laid off move from his swing, regardless of the shot. It’s obvious to me that he can hit it fantastic even if he’s across the line at the top of the swing, but once he starts laying the club off at the top, he starts to struggle. He didn’t do that at the Memorial and in his words he ‘put on a stripe show.’ Something to watch out for at the US Open.
