Did we learn anything after Round One of the Farmers Insurance Open?
Not much.
On the easier of the two courses, Tiger shot a respectable -3 and ended up in 23rd place.
Phil had a better round on what arguably is the harder course, finishing at -5 and a T5.
The big surprise was John Daly on the tough South unleashing a 67 and getting into the same T5 with Phil.
David Duval is -2 in a tie for 35th.
Dustin Johnson is -3, T22.
Thanks to the two-course format, we won’t get much of a comparative read until the cut is made for the weekend. But I’ll make a couple of predictions. The easy one is that Daly will implode. Phil will continue to be in contention. Tiger will continue in mediocrity.

I am pulling for Daly and Phil – I like to be let down.
And you are calling Tiger for a mediocre finish? So soon, when everyone is sure he is going to win because this is “his golf course”?
Yeah, I also agree with that. If anyone is taking bets, I will bet that by tomorrow night, Daly is still ahead of Tiger. If either of them is missing a cut, it will be Mr. Woods.
Oh, and congratulations to Tiger on the first audible “F” bomb of the year, along with a club slam. At least he held onto the club- good working on that anger management.
Was on #8 (Tiger’s 17th) coming out of the fairway bunker.
I am betting that Phil will implode, John Daly will continue to get better (maybe not his time yet, but vast improvement from last year’s start), and Tiger’s F-bomb will be heard a few more times tomorrow! a Tiger can’t change his stripes…hokey but true…
I think mediocre is the new win for Tiger.
At least it won’t be boring…
