    I'll take 4 back headed into the weekend. Quite a bit of improvement over last week...
    Agreed. Just wanted him to play a clean 18. He needs to shake these blowup stretches in rounds.

    I wouldn’t call it a blowup stretch today.  It was just a windy day, and the third highest scoring in history at the event.  Nobody was going low and par was an excellent score.

    Tiger is striking the ball so well. Just can't roll in the birdie putts.

    Tiger won't be winning this week but the naysayers' time is getting short.  He may not win this year but he is competitive, so why wouldn't you talk about one of the top 2 golfers of all time who happens to still be competitive in his early 40's?

    does the “s” in espn stand for “slurping”?
    Regarding anything about the talking heads at ESPN, wouldn't you be the expert? 

    I am and you would think no one else is playing in this tourney :angry:

    There aren’t as many Dolphin fans as there were when dan marino was playing.  There aren’t as many Bulls fans as when Jordan played.   Non die hard Packers fans will start to go when Rodgers retires and they have a scrub QB.  

    My point is that in a lot of sports one to two players move the needle.  When Tiger is playing, and especially in his third healthy tourney in two years essentially, he is the only one in the field worth taking about.  

    Very simple concept that haters do not understand, or at least don’t want to admit.

    Yep. Love tiger. Always have. He’s a dick but no one I’d rather watch tee it up.

    The greatest golfer we’ve ever seen is attempting a comeback most thought improbable.....yeeeeeah, not a big deal. 

    Looking forward to this afternoon. Just being in the mix on sunday with these young bucks is worth the price of admission

    Six up and downs today.   Wish I wasn’t chipping so much but chips are fun to hit.

    Damn. Very impressive. Chipping them close or making long putts?

    ^ That’s impressive man. My chipping game is so hit and miss. If I could consistently get inside of 4 feet it would be a game changer. I guess I know what I should spend some time practicing on. Lol

    I wish I was consistent too. I am hoping the things I am working on now will lead to that.  

    Tiger was third in driving distance and first by 3 feet in proximity to the hole.  People would have laughed at you if predicted that in his third tourney back.
