So did Tiger keep his emotions in control???

As promised??? Saw none of his birdies or eagles or his reaction, but as per his press conference, wonder how his demeaner was? Did see a few bad shots and his reaction seemed no different then pre-Thanksgiving.

It's so difficult to keep ones "emotions in check" because they're simply that. Emotions.

I think he did an admirable job of keeping himself in check. There were times where he looked pissed after a shot, but I think he was able to realize that and control himself. But who am I kidding I am biased look at my display pic after all :P

Tiger was Tiger.....the person I've always liked to watch.

Seemed about 90% of his old self, but then again it was only Thursday.

And he's replaced the F word with a well-known 3-syllable word beginning with G. He's apparently switched from obscene to profane.

Loved watching him and always do and the reason is because of his emotions. He wears them on his red golf shirts sleeve.

You shouldn't be happy when you hit in to the woods and you should be estatic when you have just made 2 eagles in one round, how many of us can do that?

That's what I thought.... I'll be honest, I have bought very little of what he has said or done over the past 4 months. It's the same Tiger. I do believe he will be a better person, a little more charitable and giving, but underneath it will be the same person.

If you think golf is the only sport fueled with emotional players who are hot under the collar in the heat of competition, then you need to watch more TV.

Tiger has always played with emotion and as mrvelani said wears his heart on his sleeve. If I had to watch the likes of Stricker, Zach Jonhson and a host of others who play with ZERO emotion, golf would be right were it was before Tiger blasted onto the PGA Tour.

Of course that is the case. Also like golfers with opinions who are fun to watch and listen to (Ames, Sabbatini, Garcia....).

I just find Tiger disingenuous with many of his comments. I don't think he is a terrible person, just don't believe what he says.

Why don't you try focusing more on the golfer and his abilities, and less on what goes on in his personal life.....you'll enjoy it more.

just don't believe what he says.

You don't have to, just believe what you see. And did you see that shot yesterday???

How many people in the world that can do that? I don't care much about what he has to say or what he does afterwards, that's for the tabloids and the housewives to read up on.

You should tune into the amen's corner live then.

Non-censored coverage of all the swearing that goes on from the rest of the field

The F Bombs and GD's the camera picks up are one thing that need to stop, but no one wants Tiger to tone down the physical emotion he displays on the course. It's part of his makeup and appeal.

Re: So did Tiger keep his emotions in control???

I think Tiger was a complete 180* from old Tiger. If you watched coverage you saw Tiger joking and laughing with Choi and Kuchar and putting his arm around Choi after 13 I think. He was thanking fans when walking between holes as well. I can't recall seeing Tiger being like that any round, let alone at the Masters.

Re: So did Tiger keep his emotions in control???

I don't really want him to keep his emotions in check... stop the club tossing (especially into crowds.. lol) of course..

I liked what Jim Gray said (a rarity) when he talked about how much swearing etc. he sees with other athletes

Re: So did Tiger keep his emotions in control???

he was less of a d#ck with the gallery for once, acknowledging their presence. I almost got the sense he now realizes he doesn't have to be a nob.
