Holy crap Tiger is playing well. When did he last lead a tournament?

Edit: And there's the bogey.

Tiger's bad putting (random bad putting) nips him there.

Yeah, that first putt was just way off. Would it have trickled down to the hole if he hit it softer?

Yeah. I don't know what he was doing there.

He must have read it wrong. Can't hit it that far off line.

Same. Appreciating this more too.

Tiger's current game reminds me a bit of Bubba Watson.  Can make lots of under par holes and some over par holes.  Though I must admit last year was a lot more Bubba than this year.  He is grinding a lot better.  Am guessing the time off did him good

What's in the bag

  • Taylor Made r5 dual Draw 9.5* (stiff)
  • Cobra Baffler 4H (stiff)
  • Taylor Made RAC OS 6-9,P,S (regular)
  • Golden Bear LD5.0 60* (regular)
  • Aidia Z-009 Putter
  • Inesis Soft 500 golf ball

I think he just has a lot of adrenaline pumping in this tournament. I think that is helping his driver but is hurting the finesse shots.

Crap... 68. 2-over over his last seven holes must be frustrating for him. Oh well. Still 7-under overall and lurking!

It's going to be a great weekend to watch!

Haven't been excited about a non-major tournament in a long, long time.

I think the most impressive may have been the chip on 8. Spieth was in almost exactly the same spot and hit a much worse chip. Spieth's happened to be straight enough that it clattered the flag and went in, but Tiger hit it close and Spieth got lucky. I think his chipping is fine. He'll sort his putting out tonight and go low tomorrow!
