I thought Ricky Fowler played really well today. I got a sneaking suspicion he may light it up.  Good to see Tiger playing pretty decent, I wouldn't count him out. Then there's Justin Rose, this could get really interesting.

It was just everyone else also trying, and they read it the other way.

This is one my favorite tournaments of the year. Always a good one. Tiger had his ups and downs, definitely a weird round. Sad about Dustin Johnson, hope he gets better. That course looks really cool on television.

Interesting. Tiger goes from 100-1 odds yesterday to 12-1 odds this evening. I put $30 on Tiger last night to win outright. It is probably still a long shot, but would be awesome if he could pull it off. I really think Justin Rose or Rickie Fowler will win. We will know a lot more tomorrow.

A two under round from Tiger, despite the loose shots and a few horrendous putts, is very respectable.

If Tiger could have just managed par on those bogey holes and that double he would be tied for the lead or leading I think.  In his past Tiger never made many bogeys.  His good shots are good but he needs to stop those bogey holes. Hell, the first bogey on #1 NEVER should have happened.  That SHOULD have been birdie and definitely at least a par.

I think he just needed reps.

Good drivers win this tournament. Dont think Tiger stands much of a chance this week. I like Scott or Furyk to win this bad boy.

It has been quite a few years since Tiger has been viewed as a good driver and yet he has won 4 of the last 8, so I challenge your premise.

But then again, what the hell do I know?

Tiger was ranked 17th last year and 6th in 2012 on total driving. IIRC, he led the driving stats for quite a while last year.

That includes hitting irons and fairway woods off the tee which he does a lot.

You're right. The bogey on #1 was shocking, frankly.

Leishman after 4 holes today already as many bogeys as he had yesterday the whole round.

J.B. Holmes playing well. Could be a dark horse next week playing in his home state. Played well at the Ryder Cup in Valhalla 6 years ago. Was picked by Captain Azinger because of his knowledge of Valhalla and went 2-0. You know he's been waiting for this PGA Championship for a long time.
