Tiger Down To Micheel Halfway Through...

[ragontona]

He's gonna have to "golf his ball" to have a chance at six straight...

UPDATE: Tiger got it down to one-down, but now it's back to three down with eleven to play. Not looking good...

I think Tigers tired and needs a nap..

I am glad to see that Mike Weir is 3 up on Adam Scott after 31 holes, that would be a big win for Mike...

What is the qualification process for this tournament?

Monty said it would be nice to have one of the Europeans beat Tiger this week to give them more confidence going into next week (like they need it). However, it looks like Monty hired a henchman by the name of Shaun Micheel to do the dirty work for him.

Tiger's probably excited and motivated to play this week, but something tells me he will be a little "extra" motivated to play next week in the Ryder Cup.

I wanted to see Luke Donald/Tiger Woods in the second round too. Get it together Eldrick.


Edit #1: I just checked out the leaderboard for the first time. Is any favorite winning his match? Other than Cambo and Donald, I would say the underdog has won or is winning all matches. It's crazy.

Paul Casey shattered Retief Goosen, and Robert Karlsson is whippin ol' Jim's rear end with less than nine to play.

The United States might not score a point at the K Club next week now that I think about it.


Edit #2: Micheel defeated Woods 4 & 3.

It probably doesn't mean a whole lot that Tiger lost, but it certainly isn't the greatest news possible. I'm sure the media will get a kick out of it though and use it to their full advantage.

I see this as a "Take one for the Team" strategy. See Tiger loses to Micheel to boost Micheels confidence. Furyuk loses to give the Euros a false sense of "see the Americans will choke" feeling. It's a great ploy....I hope.....

Looks like ol' Lehman shoulda picked Micheel for a captain's pick. Really, it might not have been that bad of a pick. Of course, hindsight is 20\20.
