Oh I know it's tough, I'm just venting over what could have been.... Boy 15 and 17 killed him this week.

I think you mean 15 and 16.  He’s +4 on 15 for the week, +3 on 16, but he was E on 17 for the tournament.

15 and 16 are the difference between him being T11 and T1 right now, lol.

EDIT:  Actually, my mistake, he’s +5 on 15 so a total of +8 for the week on 15 and 16.

Great to hear words of wisdom from Jack Nicklaus, sitting in the booth today.

 

Even par 70 today for Woods.

Yea, there must be a million pro v1s in a watery mass grave short right of that green. 

Hmmm, I wonder how good night diving is there.

The alligators say it’s quite good.

Congrats to Web.com player Sam Burns who was paired with Woods today; he ended up beating Tiger by 2 shots (68 to 70). He'll have a great story to tell his potential kids & grandkids now.

Great interview with Sam after the round by Amanda Balionis.

Tiger Trap.

The Bear Trap is incredible. What a mind-**** of a stretch of holes. 

[MrGolfguy67]

Alex Noren posts -7, will it hold up? Playoff perhaps?

Thomas & List also at -7 with 2 holes to play.

Yea besides the aforementioned gator infestation, I'm sure there are numerous redneck diving teams from nearby Loxahatchee that vie for squatter's rights to that spot

That he played with the GOAT and beat him in one round?

[MrGolfguy67]

List & Thomas off the tee at 18. Birdie wins, or 2 birdies for a playoff, or 2 pars and a 3 way playoff?

What an exciting finish this is setting up to be. Great players playing great shots on a great course. Who doesn't love this?

[MrGolfguy67]

Two birdies - List and Thomas headed to a playoff at -8

Sure. A 21 year old Web.com regular gets paired with Tiger Woods on a Sunday and beats him head to head by 2 shots. Pretty dream worthy stuff if you ask me. Seems like you're trying to downplay it, not sure why.

If I played with the GOAT and beat him in one round, I wouldn't tell my grand kids. I would write a seven volume book series and have it published in 47 languages.

Regarding Tiger, this is a remarkable performance by a golfer aged 40+, who has been away from competitive golf for however many years due to debilitating injury. It is truly remarkable.

I am not a "hater." My complaint has always been that, in instances like this, whoever actually wins this thing will be a one sentence byline, on page 7, below the fold, compared to the pages and pages and pages scrutinizing Tiger's performance.

But maybe that's just a Tiger's privilege. Or maybe it's a Goat's hard-earned privilege.

Good luck to Justin Thomas, a fine young player. It would be nice to see another Major in his future this year.

Birdie on 1st playoff hole wins it for Justin Thomas. Oh so close to a first win for Luke List - surely there will be a win somewhere in his future if he can continue to play like he did this week.

[jsgolfer]

How many times will they replay the putt JT made to win and hear him say **** Yeah!

JT is one of my favorite players on Tour. Seems like a cool guy.

Thanks for correcting my mistake. Wow, His numbers on those 2 holes were even worse then I thought. Didn't it seem like each day was a replay of the prior one(s)?  He was on his way to a really good round and into the mix, then. aagh

I like Thomas also. A lot. He and Spieth look like they're going to give us a show the next few years.
