This might be the first chapter in what everyone in golf has been waiting for for a couple of years now - a young player who can look Tiger in the eye and not melt on a Sunday -

not saying that AK is there yet - but I'll be pulling for him because I think if he holds Tiger off and wins tomorrow its going to be potentially a spring board for him, and could finally be a great rivalry for the upcoming years -

I'm not sold that he can do it... but I'm hoping that he does - and I'm a Tiger fan!

I've been on the Anthony Kim bandwagon since late 2006. I love Tiger too, and this is going to be a fantastic match. No matter what happens on the front nine, hole 11 is the second on the back nine, and there's seven holes after it.

So, to answer the question, I'm very pumped. Enjoy watching both these guys play quite a bit!

Definitely!!!

It's about TIME to someone step up to Tiger. I went to Friday's round and followed AK group (Furik & Love III). He didn't play his best game but a lot of fans were cheering for him. I doubt it is because he is the defending champion of the AT&T; National but definitely people would like to see a young gun to open new era of golf after long Tiger's domination.

Now the time is come. It's gotta to be ended. It will be ended anyway by AK, Danny, Rory, or other newbie. I am just hoping Tomorrow is the DAY. Go AK!!!!

Its going to be a really good last day. They both have the potential to shoot really low rounds like ak did in the first round.

They say golf is like life, but don't believe them. Golf is more complicated than that.

Should be fun.

Anyone catch the announcer (don't recall his name) after AK put a PW 84 yards to about 2" from the hole? "Long and left the whole way, never had a chance." I just about fell off the couch laughing.

It will be exciting to see how each handles themselves. I think Tiger has nothing to win and a lot to lose and AK has more to gain from a good finish. He is one of the few that seems not to be bothered by Tiger and his aura.

I have been praying for this day to happen since Tiger came back! Go AK!

A quote from Kris
...is that college bball really isn't "lower tier". The better teams have their rosters filled with guys who could play in the NBA. hell, guys used to come straight from high school to the NBA. I really don't think there's much of a difference skill-wise between the two.

I don't really care who wins between the two just as long as it's a great match. I do believe though that AK will be either super hot or super cold. If he's hot it will be a great match up.

That's true. In fact, Anthony Kim has yet to finish higher than Tiger in

any tournament that the two were playing. Of course, most of the ones they both played were either during Anthony's party era, Tiger's hot streak, or both. It's only now that Tiger's back and Anthony is a serious golfer.

      Best Budget Golf Ball

      Yes, this is the 2024 model. DSG ruined what Callaway perfected for most golfers. A darn good 3 piece golf ball. Now it's a 2 piece cheap ball. To me a 2 piece ball is fine and a 3 piece budget ball is better. I prefer a slightly harder ball, something in the 65-75 compression range that will perform similar to the old Gamer. The Titleist tru-feel is pretty good. I planned on giving Maxfli straightfli a try.

      Is that the current generation Gamer? Another old standby for a firm and inexpensive ball is Pinnacle.  There are two models, the Rush and the Soft, but I don’t know what compression they are.

      Good advice, but according to DSG website it is a 45 compression ball. My current ball is the Top-flite Gamer at 70. 45 is too low for me to go.

      The 3 piece Maxfli Trifli is 2 dozen for $35.  The Trifli does not feel as soft as the Maxfli Softfli, which is why I like it. Other options would be one of the Srixons, which have a buy 2 get 1 free offer.

      7 Wood

      By ZenShot ·

      I have been carrying a 7 wood more often this year.  It’s especially handy if you have a downhill lie to an uphill green.  It’s also handy if the rough on the course is deep.
