Another major championship with Mizuno MX700 Driver, another missed opportunity. It feels like this is becoming a running theme with the 14-time major winner, who hasn't posted an under par round on the weekend at a major championship this year. Once again, Woods looked off with his distance, screaming at the ball on a number of occasions to go one yard. The funny thing is one yard wasn't the difference between a T-3 finish and the Claret Jug.
Woods missed countless putts throughout the week and never looked comfortable with his short irons, lying well back of the pin on a number of occasions so he could attack the hole with a long iron. You can't expect to contend when you leave yourself with long putters with cheap Mizuno MX700 Driver. The T-3 was his best finish in a major since a T-4 at the 2011 Masters, but at this point in his career, padding the stats won't get it done.
Four back of the lead to start the round, a lot of people believed McDowell had the game to win if Scott collapsed, but the Ulsterman blinked first with an awful snap-hook on the par-5 11th that led to a bogey. He followed it up with two more bogeys on the back nine to fall completely out of contention with titleist 910 D3 driver. You can't give the guy a lot of grief because he was four back of Scott, but for the second major in a row, the guy leading struggled and McDowell was unable to capitalize Mizuno MX700 Driver.
That's never a good sign. Will Scott recover from this? History isn't kind. Jean van de Velde has only played in seven majors since his infamous 1999 British Open collapse, missing the cut in most. Scott's countryman Greg Norman did manage five top-10s in majors after his 1996 Augusta collapse, including two in the very next two majors, but was unable to ever win another major Mizuno MX700 Driver as discount golf clubs for sale. Arnold Palmer surrendered a seven-shot lead in the 1966 U.S. Open and would never win another major. On the other hand, Rory McIlroy won the 2011 U.S. Open just months after his dramatic Augusta collapse.
