Lee Westwood in the lead after an eagle at 5! I would love to see him win, but there is too far to go and too many opportunities for wayward shots.

I may have set my alarm for 4am. I may also have set my alarm for Tiger's tee time. I'm not telling.

The player furthest away from the hole plays first.

Saturday of a major has been pure frustration for Tiger fans the last couple years, we'll see if today is any different. If they hit it close enough to the hole, they may elect to finish

Hmmm, IBF gave Westwood advice as to putting, and Westy has putted lights out since ... advice? Same as Stan Utley ... apparently when Westy softened up his arms and lightened up his tightness (relaxed) on the grip, the lights went on.

Tiger has dropped 2 strokes in 3 holes and Westy has gone WiLd!!

Yes. More than the other companies who wanted to put their logo there.

Interview on BBC. Tiger not happy with the organiser mucking around with the greens speed. I thought that was a fair comment.

I think that bogey on 17 was a killer for Tiger.

I think the 16th today was huge. Could have been a 2 or 3 shot swing in Tiger's favor. You could almost see Tiger tallying his lead when Lee was thrashing around in the brush.

Don't understand why they watered the greens so much last night. I guess they gave in to Ian Poulter's whining. But if you are going to water, at least memo the players.

Weather conditions sound tough tomorrow. Supposed to be the heaviest wind yet...15-20 with stronger gusts. Supposed to be a bit cooler, too. If the wind does blow that hard, I think this opens it up to a player at +3 or +4 because there could be more carnage from the top-2 groups. If conditions stay like today, I think the winner is more than likely going to come from one of the top-4 guys.

Hunter Mahan is the wild card tomorrow. Everyone's talking about the other three guys......sometimes it's the quiet guy that ends up winning, and he's got the game and experience to win a major.

There are four players at even par or better going into the final day. At least one of them has to shoot a 71 tomorrow. My prediction: 1-under wins, par forces a playoff. Anyone from fifth on down is going to need a round in the sixties to have a chance, and it may have to be the best 18 holes of their lives to do so.

Lotta pressure on Westwood. I think Tiger can come in and make history tomorrow.

16th was too huge. Tiger wanted that birdie so bad, and Lee was clutch with that bogey putt. If Tiger had birdied 16, he may have been more conservative on 17. I knew even par from him will put him in the lead

Love this one. Ernie still grinding on the practice green with his eye doc. Says even par could still win it.

      PRGR Launch Monitor

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
