This is simply amazing. I don't just mean the golf - but that's awesome too. I mean my friends who haven't started their summer work yet and who have never swung a golf club or watched golf before are sending me messages, telling me that they're watching this and it's actually exciting. I may have to dig out my old GI irons and bring some friends to the range this upcoming week.

Similar to my friends who watched Masters Sunday with me, but those had actually hit balls a few times.

Should Tiger win this, I think Rocco will look back at no 9 and regret it. Tiger saves par after a bad bunker shot while Rocco could not save par from the green. You can't give away strokes and that was pretty awful.

It's over. Rocco is just not playing very well. He had to have his 'A' game to match Woods and he just doesn't have it.

Have to see a bit of what Tiger does with this chip on the 12th.

[CG031]

I mean, technically, it's not over. It's just that Rocco has had SO MANY freakin' chances and he continues to blow them. He's got to stop blowing it by the hole 3 or 4 feet on every birdie opportunity. He's going to putt himself right out of it.

Can someone at NBC go drag Bob Murphy down from his tower and mail him back to The Villages? Silence is far superior to anything he has said all day. Heck, even Miller is better.

That comment was prolly made when Tiger was up 3 strokes.

[pinbacksc]

holy f*** what a bunker shot.

[golf_junkie27]

holy f*** what a bunker shot.

Someone said Tiger was inhuman. Cue the music from the "X Files."

[ganjagolfer]

tiger is going down

[topspin4hand]

So Rocco's up a stroke going into the final 3 holes ... all of which are well suited for his draw.

[pinbacksc]

well......s*** c'mon tiger

[topspin4hand]

Wow ... Tiger was one revolution of the ball short of nailing a bomb of a birdie putt on 16.

[pinbacksc]

this is intense...

I thought that one was going in. He really needed it.

[ganjagolfer]

tiger seems to intimidated by the ferocity of rocco, leaving putts short, etc
