I will watch on Sunday afternoon. I usually just halfway pay attention to the Majors until the weekend.
I watched as much as I could today and will the next 3 days as well. Might try to get a round in this weekend.
I try every weekend, haha. Have a tee time Saturday but think we will get rained out. Pretty pissed off about it.
Tiger, baby!!! Long birdie put. One shot back. And he's been meh on the par 5's.
Yep. Hell of a second shot. he has struggled though with shorter putts. Crazy game. He has made 5 putts over 20-feet in the first 2 rounds.
Damn he is struggling with short putts. Has missed at least 4-5 of those. Yet has made 5 from 20+ feet. Damn.
I must be the only one whose not a big Tiger Fan. Can’t believe his short putting game has cost him so much. 5 tied at -7, next two days are gonna set up a dramatic finish.
It really has. He could easily have a 4/5 shot lead. If he straightens that out---He'll win.
I like Tiger. Made some bad decisions. We all have. Hell, we'd maybe have more(bad decisions) if we had the loot he has.
But as you said---like him or not, he is good for golf. Short putting today was just brutal...He was someting like 1-6 on putts from 10' or less. Knock those down, and dude is running away from the field.
even if he's just 3 for 6 on those putts he would be the 36 hole leader by a stroke.
Regardless TV ratings on Sunday will be off the charts if Tiger puts together a great 3rd Round.
If he is leading? Oh, my. But even if in contention, TV ratings will be remarkable.
But if leading? Damn.
Yeah, if Tiger was putting like he was in his prime, this thing would be close to over. As Faldo was speculating, it looks to be a setup issue whuch can be corrected. With his back injury history, he just can't practice as much as he used to.
Every other part of his game looks good though. He looks comfortable with a driver in his hand after some early season accuracy issues. His iron play has been phenomenal. Without looking, he has to be near the top in GIR. That recovery shot on 11 was one of the shots of the tourney. He had no business getting a birdie from where he was off the tee.

This Tiger is more likeable than the old Tiger. He is good for golf, but I still can't root for him.
Tiger is Tied for the lead at 11 under heading to the 17th.

Augusta's greens are what makes it difficult. TV doesn't do them justice. Placement is crucial on approach shots. False fronts, 10 is the worst, dips in the greens, 8 has a huge one. 18 is a nightmare. If you play texas style golf, you're not going to score well. High approach shots are required. On the plus side, no real rough, fairways are wide and immaculate.
Jack Nichalus is the best in our time. Not even close.
Jack William Nicklaus (born January 21, 1940), nicknamed The Golden Bear, is a retired American professional golfer. Many observers regard him as the greatest golfer of all time. During a span of more than 25 years, he won a record 18 major championships.
The whole course is so gorgeous but yeah, the greens are absurd. The undulations and slopes are nuts. Plus, there are not really flat lies on the entire course so the skill it takes to makes shots there is ridiculous. It's an awesome place though.
You've been there. Very surreal walking there. Its something everyone should experience that appreciates golf.
Yeah, it’s pretty amazing. When people say there is not one blade of grass out of place they are being pretty literal.
Also, the thing I noticed most is that TV doesn’t do all the elevation justice. The course is hilly as hell. Walking around all day there is exhausting.
That view from the tee box down is amazing. Would love to see how bad I could butcher that hole.
its not referred to as a Stadium golf course, not only is the golf course set up to challenge the golfers but it is set up for the fans.
the Masters does not set up their course to embarress the golfers like the US open does.
not sure how accurate the reports are about the green were changed and Tiger has had a chance to play on them
Tiger 2 bogey and 2 birdies and is 1 shot off the lead.
