Ugly bogey there, but par for the season. Everytime he's knocking on the door he seems to crumble. Lets hope he can get it together. He needs to go -3 or -4 under on the back to have a chance.

meh, I wouldn't call it an ugly bogey any more than all bogeys being "ugly." He burned the edge on a putt to save par.

It was his first missed fairway and first bogey of the round. I don't know why people expect Tiger to play flawless final rounds in golf tournaments. Tiger's problem this year has generally been leaving himself too far back in the first two rounds, not crumbling down the stretch. The issue has been he's needed to play flawless final rounds to have a shot at winning. Then, he makes a run early in final rounds to give people hope. But saying he crumbles because he doesn't shoot 63s in final rounds is a bit unrealistic for any golfer, even Tiger in his prime. When Tiger was winning, he generally had big leads in the final round and tried to leave himself needing to shoot around even par to win. Tiger hasn't held a 54 hole lead since 2013 and I'm not sure he's even been in the final group in round 4 more than a couple times.

If Tiger doesn't win this tournament, it will be because of his 70 on Friday after shooting 62 Thursday, not because he didn't play flawless golf in round 4. As the leaderboard stands right now, Tiger would need to shoot a final round 64 just to be tied with the leaders at -18. Let's say -18 is the winning score and Tiger shoots a 65 to finish at -17. Would you say he "crumbled" because he bogeyed #10? Tiger is honestly playing great today. 9/10 fairways, scrambled for par on 3 of the 4 greens he's missed, and has made birdie on 5 of the 8 greens he's hit.

I've always been curious as to how many strokes pros are able to save in tournaments based on there being crowds, grandstands, etc. Rory would have been 50 yards over the green but for the grandstand. Happens all the time with shots into the gallery too.

not sure if it's been mentioned, but I'm really digging the setup of having all 3-man groups. Keeps all the leaders very close to one another on the course. I know it's because everyone made the cut and only 69 were in the field, but I wouldn't be opposed to the final two rounds having 3-men pairings rather than 2. Feel like it provides for more golf for the viewing audience and has everyone essentially playing the same course with there being fewer tee times spread out.

Rain was the main factor.

Tiger will have another good look at birdie to go 1 back.

Should be an easy bunker shot, decent amount of green to work with.

He still has a par 5. I think -20 under will win. He needs 3 more birides.
