Good question and one that many are talking about.

What's your answer, @Scotsclaff ? You should vote in the poll.

I voted Tiger. He's improved every day and has looke sharper, I think, than Rory.

They are both somewhat out of reach from Spieth, but Tiger has a lot more to gain with a top 10 or 5 finish.  Not that Rory will go into a coma, but to finish 4th or 5th would be a good showing with a good payday, but for Tiger it would be an enormous start to a comeback.  I have to admit that Tiger has surprised me.

I voted Woods even though I'm massive Rory fanboy. I just think Tiger is hungrier. Rory will play hard but I don't think second place is as important to him as it is to Tiger in the present circumstances. Tiger NEEDS this for a whole pile of reasons whereas Rory has lots of road ahead of him. Edit* @NJpatbee posted at the same time as me. If I had seen his post I may have just said "ditto".

Yours in earnest, Jason.

Rory and Tiger trying to outgun each other tomorrow?

Who will shoot lowest??

The situation reminds me of a few years ago when Tiger and Phil were paired together in the final round of the US Open (the 2nd Bethpage Open?) when they were out of it and they just lit it up.

Neither will win, but wouldn't it be cool to see Tiger and Rory throw 65s at each other?

As to the poll, it's a coin flip.  So I vote Heads.  No wait Tails.  Yeah tails.  No wait, Heads . . . .

But then again, what the hell do I know?

I will be a great matchup, but I think they are both more focused on Jordan and trying to get closer, than they are on each other.

I'll vote Woods. Rory just seems a little bit shakier this week, despite their equal scores.

I think Rory will shoot lower because of his temprament(spelling),you will see Tiger losing it again at least a couple of times during the final round.

Speith by two.

I have money on Phil though.

I voted Rory. I predict he's gonna shoot 66 and Tiger shoots one over. Just a premonition.

Man, am I good. It's like I can see the future! ;-)

I just saw this poll right now, but I would have voted for Rory by a couple of strokes, why? Tiger even though he shot a low score yesterday, seemed erratic and I felt both would be taking slightly higher risk reward shots putting a premium on the drive- something  I felt tiger was not demonstrating very well on days 1-3.

Hind site is 20 20 but tiger went 1 fairway for the first 13 holes a lousy way to score.

I think Rory played better because he found out he was going to get to sing with One Direction in concert. :-D

Tiger worked on this short game, but the long game still needs tweaking. IF he continues working and competing more frequently, then we can expect great duels.

Of course, when they asked him yesterday  when he will play next, he said  not for a while.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
