He was playing fine, and then on like the 3rd hole he tweaked his lower back.

He's still playing good right now, hopefully he will finish fine. But he needs a chiropractor right now. LOL

During his press conference he mentioned that he woke up with lower back pain and GC had some video of him trying to loosen it up before he teed off, so he went into the round with the pain.

Radiated pain maybe? Or one side of the lower back hurting more, which made it harder to walk on the left side? Or just that a painful lower back makes it tougher to walk in general. He says he's going to sleep on the floor tonight.

I suffer from lower back pain every now and again.  It can definitely make you walk as if favoring one leg.  At times, it can force me to drag my right leg behind me like Igor.

Roberto Castro's hole in one was so sweet. Hole 14, 154 yard jump shot right in the hole, no bounces. I read the shot was 155 yards but it said 154 right on the TV when he hit it.

ESPN said Tiger blamed the bad back on his "soft hotel mattress".

Damn Tiger, faking pain again like he did at the 2008 US Open.

But then again, what the hell do I know?

You would think with all the money on the line. These athletes would make sure they have access to a sleep number mattress.

12 shots tougher?  Hard to believe, unless Pat is saying how much higher you or I would have scored.  Perez was only 4 shots higher on Friday and scrolling through the leaderboard I only saw 1 player who was as much as 10 strokes higher (Harmon 65-75).  Maybe for a certain portion of the draw the course played tougher, but the low score Friday was 65 with a high of 79 compared to 64/81 on Thursday.  I know they likely have it somewhere but it would be interesting to look at the ave morning/afternoon score each day, but I tink too many guys scored within 4 shots of their first round to have had the course playing anywhere near that much tougher.

I thought I remember hearing/reading many years back that Tiger actually took a moving van/truck to many tournaments that had his own bed in it...guess there was no truth to that rumor or he didn`t do it this week.

Is Nick Watney using one of Badds.com's old putters? It is an SC with A.B. stamped on the face. There was a close up of it today on the 14th.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

Was at the Barclays on Friday, great day. Saw all the big dogs out there, wish I had half their skill. Tiger hurt his back, looked like he was in pain.

I play Bethpage all the time (I live on Long Island), although not the black, usually the blue or the green, so I know something about the course. I was at The Barclays on Friday, I too followed Tiger and Rory for a while. Saw Tiger hurt his back in that sand trap.

One thing you don't get from watching it on TV is the elevation changes, the hills and valleys these guys are playing through! They make it look easy, but hitting those shots when the ball is above or below you feet, or the uphill and downhill lies, to elevated green...... it is tough!

I'm playing the black in October when my brother comes up for a visit. He is a scratch golfer and wants to play it. I'm worried, you have to bring your "A" game and not let up. There are hole where you have to carry your drive 220, which for me is a problem. I guess I bring a lot of extra balls, LOL.

What's your take on some of what we've been hearing about with regard to fans there and the reactions they are giving players during play? It's getting some play on TGC and on CBS.

Tiger appears to be collapsing.  Unfortunate.  I hope he's not really hurt.

It's so strange to see Tiger look like a journeyman on the weekends.
