I'm hoping for either Ernie or Graeme to sneak into the final group tomorrow (with Woods).

It's really pretty amazing when you think about it.  They were talking to Ernie about how off his game has been for a year and a half.  Sergio is a mess (still).  Phil had a horrible week.  There are

Suffice to say a windy day gives the other players a chance, but history has proved they'll still be jockeying for positions 2 through 10.

I agree that high GIRs don't necessarily translate to proximity and thus easier putts, but I don't know how many times Bubba actually finds the putting surface on these types of shots to that g

There's a reason their players all start to play well and get wins early on in their relationship because they're able to clean up the swing quickly but then they get too technical and keep working on things when the player needs to build confidence in the swing they have and manage their misses and just go play golf.


I thought Wie was working with David Leadbetter?

I think he did it on purpose to see if people were reading, Like the way he calls "Eric" "icas".

Anyway, Johnson Pornstache bogey's 18 and Tiger makes . . . surprise, a birdie.

Charlie Wi just stacked, tilted and fell on his face yet again! He is just painful to watch. I feel bad for him when he crashes and burns but this is starting to get ridiculous. It's almost guaranteed that once he is under any pressure he falls apart...playing along with Tiger was too much for him. Poor guy needs a mental coach big time!...maybe a few. On a non charllie note, I want Tiger to win to just shut people up but I also want Ernie to win for the same reason. Who do I root for? Both I guess

Apparently, Tiger does still intimidate some golfers...

I think Michelle Wie would intimidate Charlie Wi!

I honestly think it has less to do with playing alongside Tiger as it did playing with the huge gallery.  Yesterday he was almost out there by himself.

Up until the 15th I thought Tiger was going to walk away with it.  Obviously it's a different game now.  We'll see how Tiger's swing holds up under the pressure of only having a 1-stroke lead tomorrow.

Yup, McDowell looked really good today, except for a cold putter. Tiger might need those two strokes tomorrow.

McDowell has beat Tiger down the stretch before, he can do it again. Tiger has never looked better though.

Tiger is definitely looking solid, but we'll have to wait and see if the pressure will get to him tomorrow. McDowell is really good at playing consistent and letting the people around him crumble on their own.

Well, not in the last couple years, anyway. McDowell had a bad 2011 himself, so this would be a breakthrough win for either of them. But they're not far enough ahead of the pack to assume one of them will win. Even Ernie is within striking distance. One thing I totally disagree with the commentators about is that Tiger needs a win here to give him confidence for the Masters. Tiger will win or lose, in regular events and in majors, based on the state of his game. He has plenty of confidence, especially at Augusta, and he thrives on pressure. If he doesn't win, it's because his game, especially his putting, is still not as consistent as it used to be. It's not because he can't stand up to McDowell or Schwartzel.

That is true.  Of course he did it when he was at the zenith of his career year and Tiger had not yet emerged from his self-induced and injury-induced trough.  Interesting to see if he can stare Tiger down when Tiger is playing nearer his peak.

Regarding Wi's poor pay today, Dufner is another one who seems to be unable to play worth a darn on weekends these days.

But then again, what the hell do I know?

Too bad, I was rooting for Wi to win a bit. If only to get the monkey off his back.

I know...I don't dislike the guy at all.  He is pretty good golfer, and seems like a genuine nice guy...But maybe he is almost too nice to win.  Maybe he needs to go bang some hookers and it will have the opposite affect that it had on Tiger.  Maybe he'll just start dropping f bombs and kicking ass!  It's like he needs an alter ego

If you are speaking of the one that almost made it into the neighbors pool, they said on air that some idiot yelled something right at the top of his swing... Joe Lacava yelled "Shut up over there" afterwards.  I couldn't hear it in the playback though...so it couldn't have been too loud.  Looked like a flat out double cross to me.  I know those quite well!
