I was a little bummed as well to not see Duval in the field. Duval qualifying for the US Open doesnt mean a whole lot, but finishing in 2nd place does..

Based on PGA tour's scoring page it appears Tiger and Vijay are paired up today (Saturday). I don't think Vijay is bothered by Tiger, so should be interesting to see if Vijay can close the gap.

2011 Goals:
* Improve club-head speed to 90 mph with the driver
* Ensure increased speed does not compromise accuracy
* Prevent overextending on the back-swing (left-arm is bending too much at the top)
* Relax arms initially at address ( too tense)* Play more full rounds (failed from 2010)

Looks like as of right now at least, that Glover might be the one trying to close the gap. He's at -4 as of 3PM EST. It'd be something to see him contend on Sunday for his 2nd major of '09.
My gut feeling though, is that what everyone thinks the end result will be....will be what actually happens. And that is, Tiger winning.

Dont know how many of you are watching Tiger and Vijay on the feature group channel on DirecTV, but am I the only on that thinks that Michael Breed is just a little too hyper, even in the broadcast booth?? Dont get me wrong, I like the guy a lot, and he's probably forgotten more about golf than I'll ever know, but he's just cracking me up because he's going at a hundred miles an hour

Vijay, Paddy, Glover, Els, Stenson all within 4 shots of Tiger. If Tiger doesn't start making birdies, this could be a very good sunday!

And Vijay just pushed another putt to miss his birdie. He's had at least two of those today, could be one shot off Tiger.

Tiger has a habit of doing this: letting the field catch up to him, then putting the hammer down on the last few holes once they're all in the clubhouse. We'll see what happens starting on 16 later today.

tiger's just sandbagging it. he wants everyone to feel like they've got a chance, so at the moment they feel they can beat him, he crushes their dreams.

I'm with ya. He really knows his golf but he wears me out watching him. He has some great tips on his show. "The golf fix"

Paddy just birdies to tie and Ernie is one back. Looks like a good day tomorrow! I thought Tiger was going to run off with it.

For sure!! I give Paddy some credit here. He's playing like most people thought Tiger would. Stenson will be in this tomorrow also. At least I may have 2 of my top 5 in the mix.

Ah, Tiger finally got his birdie to go one under for the day. Great shot really, just taped it with the edge of his wedge. Now he's in trouble though, in the bunker.

But how about Y. E. Yang, at -6 chasing Tiger. And the fact that he started the game of golf at age 19 is proof that it's never too late.

Tiger is playing like crap today. No other way of describing it.

He's grinding. That's another way to describe it.

That shot at 15 is one of the worst shots he's ever hit in his career. Absolutely atrocious shot from just 60 yards.

    • Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.       
    • Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026. 
    • Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?      
    • Day 281 6-10 Full swing, fast, getting low point ahead of "towel".  Working on flow during this seems to help.
