Tiger sure doesn't look very sharp in anything but his putting. But if he's playing well enough to be in the lead, the wind must be worse than it looks. Edit: Heh, and just as I said that, he finally hit a nice chip shot. I'd say he got robbed, but after all those bombs he made, it's hard to complain about his luck this week.

yeah, i actually called TNT and left a message on their comment line about how ridiculous it is to show 2 omega commercials in one commercial break.  i know its not going to do anything, but it felt good to vent.

Many good players in the top now, but I really hope carl pettersson takes it, would be the first major for sweden

only one round in the 60's so far today

what a difference the breeze makes

and it's just a breeze

avg 4 stroke increase over rd 1

in 91 at the war on the shore they had real wind

can't imagine playing that course in real wind

good story about it here

All this talk about the non-bunkers got me thinking.  It was said they are not maintained like bunkers and are more like hard pan cart paths and that is one of the reasons they are played as waste areas.  That sounds like every bunker in Arizona (with the exception of the nicer courses in the winter).  So I think I may start playing them all as "sand areas" :)

I must have jinxed him.......sorry

they're a man made hazard, I say a free drop is in order

I reverse jinxed Tiger. He has looked very sharp almost from the minute I posted that he wasn't looking very sharp. He just played the hardest stretch of the course in one under, and didn't miss a shot. And everybody else is falling off, except for the Swedish Meatball, but I don't see him sticking with Tiger over the weekend.

man, that fat swede can get up and down....
