Uh oh.  That doesn't sound good

He double bogey'd the 8th. And then birdied the 9th.

Makes the turn at +1. Could definitely be worse!

So Phil's fitness commitment is moving in the right direction.  Good for him, clear results.

Is this sarcasm or is he doing well?

Pat Perez...get a haircut. Some people can sport the long hair well. Pat Perez is one that definitely does not fit into that category.

Phil is all over the course wow.

Sure feels like the tour as a whole is playing much better. Yes, we have the occassional WD and guys start playing bad +5 day one and could care less day 2. Overall - it sure feels like many are going low and the amount of guys under par and competing is awesome...  Usually we have the crowd in the E - +3 range were now it is -1 - -3... 2 weeks ago too. GUys are all raising their games and you have to be extra special to win or even get a top 10

No yips on that chip in for Tiger on 17. He's under par for the round! Didn't someone say earlier the wheels were coming off?

I didn't say the wheels are coming off, but I did say to expect a rusty performance this week. And from the looks of today, that's exactly what it is so far.

Tiger double bogies the 18th???

Ugh!

Eavesdropping on conversation between Ryan Palmer and G-Mac early this a.m......they were talking about the newest sensation Jordan Spieth....Palmer compared him to Fowler's hype over the last couple of years.  Didn't sound like Palmer believed Spieth "was the real thing" but kind of manufactured.  G-Mac seemed to agree and said he wasn't "into all that stuff".....to me, sounded like jealously on Palmer's part.  Kind of surprised to hear the conversation three holes into play......you'd think the would have other things on their mind.

THAT IS NOT WHAT I NEEDED FROM YOU TIGER!!!

Thats odd because Spieth at least has a Major to Rickie's goose egg. Spieth is definitely the real deal. He ain't goin away. I do still have a small glimmer of faith in Rickie however.

(I know you were just relaying what they were talking about....not coming at you lol)

[Rick Martin]

I almost sounded like G-mac was saying he was happy to have someone get all the focus  - that he was happy with being in the shadows.  There's a lot of responsibility and pressure that goes with being the next great one . I'm sure many on tour are content not having to deal with all the demands - as long as they get their share w/ a win now and than.

Brandel with some (hilarious) insight as to why Tiger struggled so much today

Not sure what's so hilarious about it. I thought he was pretty spot on. He wasn't ridiculing Tiger. He was just pointing out that he's not as straight on his drives as he is his irons. I tend to agree with him. He's still not where he needs to be with his driver. Really needs to focus on getting that part of his game straightened out. That drive on 18 was bad and cost him a good round.
