Tiger First Off At Kiawah, And Have You Heard, It's Bloody Hot!

The Post Courier's Jeff Hartsell is the local man on the spot this week (Twitter link here) and reports that Tiger was first out at Kiawah this morning for the PGA Championship and besides the dying winds today, players are noticing that it's a tad warm.  (At least the T-storm chance drops to 40% starting Thursday.)

But Tiger's "start lines" are good, so we can all relax now.

“I putted well the last two days, which was good,” he said. “I made some putts. And more importantly, I hit the ball on my start lines, and that’s something I did not do the first couple days. I misread a couple, but that’s just the way it goes. But at least every putt was starting on the right line, and that’s something that I’m very excited about going into next week.”

Will enjoy following this one from the comfort of AC!

And we obsess way to much on Tiger's putting (and driving), aside from Thursday he outputted Luke last wk (Luke also had a bad week), but nobody here is freaking out about it :P. Everyone is hot and cold with the putter

According to this Weather Channel temperature map, it is currently hot in lots of places in the US, even North Dakota. Amazing isn't it- - hot in August,........ who knew?
The course is going to play very long as Tstorms are predicted all week. As or Tiger, he is always positive about how is game is coming along. I guess that's why he's won so many times........

Charleston is one hot town, not as hot as Columbia, but close. Wind will help a little but if it's humid it will be brutal.

How can Phil possibly be 20-1 in this event? The guy is 40-over par in his last 5 events including 2 MC's and 1 WD. And that 40-over is in only 13 rounds of golf.

Talk about a guy that can't hit the driver! Phil is 168th on the driving accuracy list hitting only 53.7% of the fairways. Garrigus hits it almost 20 yards farther AND hits 260bps more fairways in the process!

@Jim - You're right. It is what it is.
