He seemed fine until his shot ended up shitty.

The camera guy/s should be escorted off the course for that crap. Imagine if it was Sunday.

Had to be at least 5 snaps of a camera from the top of his swing.

Tiger would have froze on his downswing and rubbed his back for the next 2 days. Stevie would break his hand kicking everybody's arse.

And if Tiger would have cursed and whined like Phil did, there would be pages of posts blasting him for his lack of class and respect for the game

two-man race tomorrow. can't imagine anyone else getting back into it. stenson hitting the ball better for sure. mickelson got about as much as he could out of that round in terms of scoring. stenson's long putt on 13 was huge for him to stay only 1 back, and really swung momentum in his favor.

will really just be about who can hit fairways and greens tomorrow.

It was shitty and I don't blame him at all for being upset. That wasn't my point, though.

Alot of pressure on Stenson tomorrow but Phil in my opinion didn't play that well today and ended up waning at the end. Stenson has been solid all 3 rounds. Here's the part tomorrow where they say "Golf is a mental sport". Stenson looks dialed in and composed unlike rounds before at the end. Here's to hoping for a Stenson victory.

he shot -1 out there

he struggled with his driver some and missed one short putt. that's it. he played great. there's a reason why no one else approached the two leaders today. because mickelson and especially stenson were nails.

So true. Just look at the other scores from today. Man they have some stupid golf fans on here. Tomorrow could be great if they both play like they did today.

Don't understand the downvotes for a viewpoint that most analysts shared for today's round. I'm not a Phil fan by any means and would be a much better storyline to have Stenson win his first major.

best round of the day was 68 by a few folks ... phil shot 70, so that's hardly a bad day out there, though i did hear, as you did, the announcers state it wasn't his best day since he made so many scrambling pars ...

weather tomorrow should be mostly similar but a little warmer and a touch less wind, according to the link in the first post ...

i think better weather will favor mickelson. if it stays like it did today, advantage stenson.

Yeah Tiger would have raised a few eyebrows. Tiger though I don't think would have made the swing. He was super sensitive about that. And Steve would have blown a gasket!! He'd have screamed at Tiger not to swing and throat punched every reporter there.

Phil bitched. Then 2 minutes later had his "aww shucks" look after making his par.
