I think -1 or even par wins it. Course is only going to get harder.

Wind is supposed to be pretty light again tomorrow. Should have more of the same scores.

Easy to forget about McDowell but he did win the US just a couple years ago within about 30 minutes of the Olympic Club.

Just as I predicted...Toms is walking away with this with Michaels Tompson a close second.

You forget about the guy with 14 majors tied for 2nd?

Outside of 2 or 3 shots Tiger was pretty masterful today. He took the rough completely out of play.

I agree with this, seems like he finally can work the ball in both directions with consistency, different trajectories, etc.

Tiger haters are falling out of the trees today. Tell me, what do you have against an active competitor who's in the conversation for GOAT in his sport? I think it's a fascinating thing to watch.

In his prime, Tiger made golf more relevant than it had ever been. When he slumped, interest took a nosedive. His success is great for the game. Ask any of his peers, if you get a chance, how much more they make now that regular folks give a shite about golf. Ask the pro at your local club or golf shop what Tiger did for their business.

A golf fan hating Tiger Woods is like a fat guy hating the Kroc brothers.

I love watching the man play golf! He has a ridiculous amount of golf talent. I just don't like him as a person, he's an entitled, egotistical prick. I felt this way WAY before all of his marital problems. His father did him a great injustice in the personality department, by telling his son he would have more impact in the world than ghandi and a lot of other world leaders. Earl was a shitty PERSON, and so is tiger. Period. But like I said I LOVE watching him hit golf shots. I don't root for people like him in my day to day life and won't root for one on TV.
