4 over for the last 4 holes but a much better round for tiger(74),I wonder if he considers it a 'better" round.

I reckon he considers it better by a factor of 11.

[ChrisP]

Solid round by Spieth today. Can't believe I'm saying this, but his putting has actually been average this week. If he putted even somewhat close to how he normally does, he'd probably be winning this thing. Has missed a lot of 5-10 footers this week that he normally makes with his eyes closed.

Woods' post round press conference. Said he tweaked his swing post Masters and in between patterns currently.

Tiger Press conference, "Just because I'm in last place..."

Weird, there was no mention of his WD today which @Chris E t was going to happen.  (Obviously this reveals my inner Tiger fanboyism )

1) Why the heck is he doing all this tweaking? It's only going to make things worse in the end. He's become way "too mechanical" with things and that's causing all these problems, IMO.

2) Have to agree with Chamblee. He's had Como for 8 months now....the results should be a lot better than this.

Should be looking good by the time the Champions Tour comes around.

The crappy thing for Chris is that he had to spend a couple months on Tiger's short game.

True, but I don't understand the need to tweak things after the Masters. He said after Augusta things were moving in the right direction and then he tweaks his swing yet again?  Swing actually looked a lot better at Augusta than it does now. The dip in the driver has gotten worse.

Thought Greg Norman had a great quote last night on radio....the more you change your swing in such a short time, the more lost you truly become and the harder it is to find the right swing because old tendencies and new tendencies start mixing with each other more often.

[Mr. Desmond]

After listening to the presser, I thought Tiger displayed an excellent attitude.

[Crim]

Things are getting really exciting! Molinari now in the lead. Spieth trying to put up a good score. Currently -12. Six under on the day

[Scotsclaff]

Camon Andy Sullivan.

[atb5079]

Molinari has some real game. Never could figure out why he hasnt won more even worldwide. It'll be nice to have him as a full time member on the PGA now.

[ChrisP]

Spieth is in great shape going into Chambers Bay. How can he not be one of the favorites?

He is.

[atb5079]

Tightening leaderboard, but seems like Molinari isn't letting anything get to him today. Think he closes today. Disappointed with Rosey today; just awful putting.

[Scotsclaff]

Not giving up on Rosie yet.

Sullivan back at -10,surely out of it now.

Awful coverage, as usual, by CBS.

[ChrisP]

Some tough holes coming down the stretch, especially the two par-3s. If Molinari and Rose don't take advantage of 11 and 15, there's a 50/50 chance I would say that -13 could be good enough for a playoff.

Edit: Just as I type that, Rose is taking advantage of 11.

[Mr. Desmond]

Getting more interesting... Rose looks to have the advantage blown an advantage

[David in FL]

If that's the standard you have to post after the round and admit your folly, too, if he finishes it properly. And @David in FL and others. Also, @Chris E , there's a lot more to talk about here than TW. Lots of golf topics.

Glad that he played today, and I thought he handled his press conference graciously. Some of the "I gotta take a step back to take two steps forward" type rhetoric struck me as a little disingenuous, but I thought he did well considering the circumstances. I'm not surprised that he didn't opt to play with a marker. He probably didn't want to risk being beat by the 3d assistant pro at Muirfield. ;-) Chambers Bay is gonna be interesting....
