Good question and one that many are talking about.

What's your answer, @Scotsclaff ? You should vote in the poll.

I voted Tiger. He's improved every day and has looke sharper, I think, than Rory.

They are both somewhat out of reach from Spieth, but Tiger has a lot more to gain with a top 10 or 5 finish.  Not that Rory will go into a coma, but to finish 4th or 5th would be a good showing with a good payday, but for Tiger it would be an enormous start to a comeback.  I have to admit that Tiger has surprised me.

I voted Woods even though I'm massive Rory fanboy. I just think Tiger is hungrier. Rory will play hard but I don't think second place is as important to him as it is to Tiger in the present circumstances. Tiger NEEDS this for a whole pile of reasons whereas Rory has lots of road ahead of him. Edit* @NJpatbee posted at the same time as me. If I had seen his post I may have just said "ditto".

Yours in earnest, Jason.

Rory and Tiger trying to outgun each other tomorrow?

Who will shoot lowest??

The situation reminds me of a few years ago when Tiger and Phil were paired together in the final round of the US Open (the 2nd Bethpage Open?) when they were out of it and they just lit it up.

Neither will win, but wouldn't it be cool to see Tiger and Rory throw 65s at each other?

As to the poll, it's a coin flip.  So I vote Heads.  No wait Tails.  Yeah tails.  No wait, Heads . . . .

But then again, what the hell do I know?

I will be a great matchup, but I think they are both more focused on Jordan and trying to get closer, than they are on each other.

I'll vote Woods. Rory just seems a little bit shakier this week, despite their equal scores.

I think Rory will shoot lower because of his temprament(spelling),you will see Tiger losing it again at least a couple of times during the final round.

Speith by two.

I have money on Phil though.

I voted Rory. I predict he's gonna shoot 66 and Tiger shoots one over. Just a premonition.

Man, am I good. It's like I can see the future! ;-)

I just saw this poll right now, but I would have voted for Rory by a couple of strokes, why? Tiger even though he shot a low score yesterday, seemed erratic and I felt both would be taking slightly higher risk reward shots putting a premium on the drive- something  I felt tiger was not demonstrating very well on days 1-3.

Hind site is 20 20 but tiger went 1 fairway for the first 13 holes a lousy way to score.

I think Rory played better because he found out he was going to get to sing with One Direction in concert. :-D

Mr. Desmond

Tiger worked on this short game, but the long game still needs tweaking. IF he continues working and competing more frequently, then we can expect great duels.

Of course, when they asked him yesterday  when he will play next, he said  not for a while.

      By Elmer ·

      I get kidney stones. So 100 oz of water every day. Some nights I drink 32oz between midnight and 6 Am. Which means I dont sleep much.

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      By TN94z ·

      I don’t measure my intake either. I generally have a black coffee, a bottle of soda, some sweet tea at home, and anything in between is water. An ice cold bottle of water is one of my favorite things. It feels like an immediate refresher for my body. I’ll admit that I need to drink a little more though.

      This Guy Is Blatantly Sandbagging!

      By imsys0042 ·

      For such a nice membership, there have been some bad incidents in the past few years.  We had someone voted out a couple of years ago over something he did and he harassed the board members for three months until he moved out of the area.   Generally they’ve tried to do things like tournament handicaps and identify certain people who they know should be lower and adjust it somehow.  I can understand not wanting to go thru something like the guy who was voted out again i emailed the pro who forwarded it to the handicap committee.  They are going to see what can be done.  I walked someone thru what happened and they are going to nudge him to post the score from the match and see what he does.  Since he didn’t put anything in the electronic scoring past 13, based on how he played 14 and 15 plus having to take bogey on 16-18 for after he left, he should post 83.  We’ll see if it’s even higher,   Since he was really even thru 13, then doubled 14 and parred 15 my guess is he really shot 75 being generous and giving him 2 pars and a bogey on the three holes he didn’t play.    i shot 88, getting 16 shots for my course handicap which is net even and I lost on 13.  We do brackets where handicaps should be within 4-5 of each other.  Most matches only have 1-2 shots as a difference between players  neither of us posted the score yet.  There was something in the match play rules about whether or not to post your score.  I couldn’t remember if we were supposed to or not.  I don’t think he was going to post that, because even with his inflated score it would be the lowest score in his recent 20. Lucky I didn’t because they want to see what he does post and they don’t want me posting so he can try to calibrate his score.
