You Won’t Hear This On CBS

After Tiger Woods carries a 3-wood 302-yards on the 9th, he hits a 354-yard drive at the par-4 10th during the final round of the Seek-Medical-Attention-After-Four-Hours Open. The Woods drive rolls a whopping 5 yards (it's the agronomy!), and finishes in a tiny apron approach, leaving him 13 yards for his second shot. After Paul Azinger throws out various lines like "that's impossible" and "this is ridiculous," the follow exchange occurs:

PETER ALLISS: Do you think the ball goes too far?

NICK FALDO [sarcastically]: No Peter, the official word from the USGA, and it came from David Fay so I do assume it’s official: they are comfortable with the golf ball.

PETER ALLISS: That’s good [just as sarcastic].

NICK FALDO: Let’s not talk about it [even more sarcastic].

PAUL AZINGER: [joining the sarcasm brigade]: There’s nothing wrong with a guy flying it 360 in the air.

NICK FALDO: That’s unbelievable!

On the par-5 11th, Tiger gets a little cart path help and drives it 383 yards. From 194 with a quartering wind and a flyer lie, he hits 9 iron and carries it at least 194. Tiger holds the firm green despite the flyer, leading Paul Azinger to mumble humorously, “I want to go home now.”

Azinger, who has become a stat freak and equally as entertaining as Faldo, also dropped this interesting stat during the telecast: If Tiger had 32 putts each day at the US Open, he wins by 8.
