5. Tiger Woods is rounding into his old self

No, he’s not 2000 Tiger. He probably never will be as dominant given the number of top players and his life priorities. Lost in the focus on his back-nine mistake at the 11th hole and struggles at the 12th, was his righting of the ship and his mostly outstanding rhythm under intense pressure in high winds. Woods did not press as he fell behind and made a magical birdie save at the par-5 14th to remain within shouting distance of Molinari. The difference in his overall game since January is profound and he’s a good bet to win for a ninth time at Firestone.
