Kobe Jumps the Aston-Martin
Notes: Tiger and… Zach Johnson?; Bye-bye Golden State
The Masters: the two with a chance
Tiger is right there. Sure, he’s four strokes back of Trevor Immelman and Justin Rose, but he was a bad break from being two or three under par yesterday. On the 13th hole, a par five, Woods bombed his drive down the middle-left side of the fairway. With a medium iron shot left to the green Woods’ hit caught the ball just a little thin and instead of his normal high raindrop medium iron shot that seems to fall straight down from the sky, his second shot bounced through the green.
Left with a difficult uphill pitch shot to a green sloping away from him, Woods attempted a chip into the top of the hill hoping the ball would trickle down to the hole. It was a near-impossible shot. Woods’ shot landed, perhaps, three inches short of its target and rolled back down the hill. The mistake resulted in a bogey.
Coach Cal, Memphis, and the State of U.S. Basketball
Free throws came back to haunt Memphis.
For all their previous bluster, Chris Douglas-Roberts and Derrick Rose went 1-5 at the charity stripe down the stretch and it cost the Tigers the game.
CDR and Rose choked.
Rose “should have had enough basketball IQ to foul” Sherron Collins.
The players have to take the lion’s share of the blame.
Is that it? Is that all the game comes down to – the players “choked”; low “basketball IQ?”
No.
