Charl and Louis seem to have the same steadfastness to their routines both Have about the best swings I have seen. Jason daY also has a great swing and really pushes it to the max, I noticed more and more players setting up with a bent right arm more on plane right forearm less of the both arms stiff look.

It is a game of inches. Tiger missed enough puts by fewer inches than Schwartzel holed two unbelievable shots from the fairway to finish out of the money. Tiger appears to be very close.

I was unable to view it on TV, but when I saw a replay of the swing and saw the waggle, it had Machinist written all over it.

the swing dosent matter during the last day. you can have the swing of a machine but you got to have the mental toughness of a brick wall to survive.!
mcilroy has the swing of dreams but mentally he aint there yet

I noticed that too. Nice arm sets. Man I like Rory's motion ....... But he straightened his Right Arm during his Hands Forward Press. Not saying it can't be done, nor do I wish to sound like more of an A Hole than I already am but I bet a little change there would help him,as it did me.

I used to LOVE his swing......this week though all I could think of was how he seems to have one of the straightest right arms at address. It looks so weird now, I guess I'm a full member of the cult

I agree. He was out of his comfort zone. After 9 I thought he might be ok but on 10 he got tight and quick. BUT, the drive didn't kill him. He still could have made bogey but he compounded his mistake off the tee by going way left and whacking a tree by the green. A couple of mechanical errors with a couple of mental/strategy errors and the tournament was over. Remember, he made 5 on the 2nd hole after catching the lip from the sand. If he makes 5 on the 10th he is still right there with some birdie chances ahead. It wasn't mechanics that did him in. I sure hope he can learn from this and get back up there in a major soon.
