Not to belabor the point but him hitting three wood off of most of the par threes from the blues was to put him basically at the same yardage out as he would have been from the back tees using his driver. As you see on television many of these guys will use alternate clubs off the tee depending on trouble at a certain distance and also the key metric is what distance do they want to approach the pin from. I think the other reason was that he wanted to play from the same tee I was playing given that this was more about getting caught up than trying to see how low he could go. Tells you how good these folks are when they can shoot that low without really caring about score.
