card, he's now -4 through 16 holes (he started on the back nine so he'll finish on the 9th hole). Interesting note about his round: NO birdies on par-5s today. 4 par-5s and no birdies is pretty hard for Tiger to pull off, but he managed to do it. I think sometimes he hurts himself on par-5s moreso than on par-4s and 3s b/c he tries to go after it too hard on the 5s when he should be swinging smooth to hit the fairway. He could hit 3-wood on most par-5s and still reach in 2, so I don't understand his philosophy of trying to kill it with the driver. After all, a smooth driver for him nowadays flies 315 in the air. Better to hit the fairway than go after it really hard and hit it in the trees so far offline that you have a 150 yard or FURTHER 3rd shot b/c you had to punch out.
