or Yang?

Does Tiger possibly fall back to Pads?

PH has been playing some great golf lately. But Tiger is Tiger. Would love to see someone put some pressure on tiger on the back 9 and see how he handles it.

I honestly do not think anyone is making better contact than Vijay. He is throwing darts out there. His iron play is phenominal.

He should have never, ever left the long putter tho. It's brutal to watch.

if he is reading this, i'd like to let him know to ease up on himself bc i 3 putted from inside 5 feet the other day

stuck a 8 iron to within 5 feet and 3 putted for bogey

IMHO no one catches Tiger tomorrow

Besides that ONE hole, he is striping it.

I really think you people may be in for a surprise.

PH is no push over.

Of course...it's a slim chance, but there is a chance. Considering only one person has ever beaten Tiger from behind after 54 holes, and that happened when he was 20 years old before he ever won a major, I think Tiger is a safe bet tomorrow.

i think paddy is the best challenger to tiger til phil can get his personal life situation taken care of

even when phil is back, i like paddy's mental toughness (besides 16 )

but i think tiger is just dialed in right now

Yang will not be able to handle the pressure that comes with battling Tiger tomorrow, Paddy I think is the only one who will challenge him, IMO he's easily the second best Golfer in the world right now. Gonna be a fun Sunday.

True, but Tiger is Tiger...

I wish they were paired together - two final rounds in a row would've been pretty cool.

Yeah, it could be the beginnings of a rivalry between the two if Paddy keeps playing well for the next couple of years. At least I hope so.

I'm a Tiger fan without question, but I'd like to see him get a true rival eventually. The best battles he has had in a major are with:

Rocco Mediate (08 US Open)
Chris DiMarco (05 Masters)
Bob May(00 PGA Championship)

Good players and nice people by all accounts, but not Hall of Famers.

Oh, and Tiger wins tomorrow despite a late run by Harrington.

I think Paddy has a better chance not in the same group as Tiger

absolutely...Gary McCord made the comment yesterday that he wouldn't be surprised if someone missed a putt on purpose to avoid playing with Tiger in the last round on Saturday. Of course, this was tongue-in-cheek, but it has some merit. Tiger has the ability to get in his competitors' heads like no other athlete, present or past.

I think that is his only chance.

But, if it's close at the end, I like Tiger with one hole to go.

There's a chance, but I'd put my money on Tiger. He's never lost a major after having the 36 and 54 hole lead.

That's the dumbest thing I have ever heard. Honestly.
