Haney On Tiger's Game: “There’s so many holes to patch up right now that you don’t have enough fingers for the dike.”

Adam Schupak of Golfweek listened to Hank Haney's SiriusXM golf show and took down the highlights from Tiger's former instructor, who took calls from the many true believers looking for some assurance that the Waste Management Open debacle was a matter of rust.

“It starts with technique and morphs into something else,” he said. “It just doesn’t go away.”

Haney, who suffered from the driver yips for more than eight years, said Woods also played to avoid lofting chips, relying on the bump and run and using a putter on several occasions. In all, Haney counted seven times when a pitch or bunker shot failed to reach the green.

“It’s not just chipping and pitching,” he said. “He’s blading it out of bunkers.”
