At the PGA, Tiger needs to finish: -- solo 4th to go over $100 million in official career earnings. -- solo 3rd, with cooperation from Luke and Rory, to become #1 in the world rankings. -- first

It was briefly, but I had to send it to the guys there for the once-over (factual review - not a lot of facts, so even though it's long, it shouldn't TAKE too long). Here are some pictures. The

I think I could lower my handicap by about five if I had a blimp to track all my lost balls. And I don't know why Tiger was so mad about his putt on 2. He's lucky it didn't go off the green. Right now, if I had to bet, I'd bet on Rory. That par save was amazing.

Most of the greens here in Hawaii are seashore paspalum, since you can water it with brackish saltwater.  In my experience, they're consistently in good condition, but rarely in great condition.  By that I mean that on most days they are consistent, medium firm surfaces that roll well.  Paspalum creates a thick surface that doesn't accept ball marks well (probably one of the reasons that they're usually in good condition), and as a result I rarely see really fast and really smooth--both conditions you expect for a major.  Of the courses I've played here in Hawaii, only a handful of times have I seen the greens in both very fast and very smooth.  If it's not raining much, they can dry out a bit and get quicker, but then the surfaces get a little more brittle and subject to marking, but because the turf is really thick it's difficult to repair and smooth out the marks.

I guess that if you're preparing paspalum greens for a major, you'd verticut them several times over the course of six weeks or so to thin out the surface a bit, and give them plenty of water.  That should allow them to be cut pretty low and stay smooth.

some good putting going on. just turned it on and it looks like rory is having a good day today. he's been hot and cold day to day over the last few weeks, but he's got all the talent in the world.

also nice to see that it's not hurricane conditions today.

(and as i was writing this tiger yanked that putt)

I don't see any reason why it wouldn't be fine.  It's a stoppage of play to search for a ball, perfectly fine.

Now I know what to do when faced with Ian Poulter's ball way above the feet shot. Is Faldo right, 9 times your body weight on the lead knee?

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

What's the over/under on gloves for Tiger? Vijay may need to sign one too. Scott makes a bomb.

Tiger's struggles right now are all about his tee shots.  He may benefit from some kind of stoppage.

He might, but frankly, I think he's just about shot himself out of it.

Unless Tiger muster a great back nine, it'll be a tough job. Coming from behind tomorrow can go the wrong way, like we've seen before. Nice to see Rory has started making birdies again. The top 10 is packed with players that can close tournaments.

Yeah, he needs a stoppage to regroup, and higher winds, which might keep Rory from shooting a 62.
