    I think if Tiger wins The Open it will be the greatest win of his career.  The dude is more part time at his job than Pearl Jam right now.

    Rory, Henrik, Molinari, and Tiger as a dark horse for me since I'm a fanboy... haha
    Molinari would not surprise me at all.

    I think he’s being more realistic about what his body can handle knowing that regular tour wins don’t mean anything for his legacy. 

    I think he he can compete in the masters and British for the next decade. The other two are going to be tough with the recent set ups

    Yeah.  Pretty clear his body can’t handle a full schedule.

    Tiger was practicing in the rain today.  Must be feeling pretty good or needed practice that bad.

    Wind must have changed with the rain. He gave a presser earlier this week about learning the different winds of the course. That could be why.

    Tiger over Rory...I like the idea of that!

    Quadruple bogey on hole 1 for the Irishman. Fuck, even I can do that and as i learned yesterday, I'm an even worse golfer than I thought I was.

    I think it does means something to beat Snead’s record, though it’s probably a given at this point.

    Ask Tiger which record he cares about

    One and only one number he cares about.  Also, if he beats that number he also beats the Snead number, so yeah, I'd say he cares about 4 tournaments a year and only 4 tournaments a year.

    If Brooks or Fleetwood play well but you don't see it, did they actually play well?

    #1 player in the world and they're barely showing him.  Starting to now that he's 1 shot back but I guess being 2 back didn't make it feel necessary for golf channel.  Just brutal.

    So is Tiger a one trick pony?   Masters or bust from here on out?   If he can't do well at Pebble then he is done on any U.S. Open course.

    Wow. Talk about stating the obvious.

    He's most likely not breaking Jack's record at this point. But having the all-time wins record means something for his legacy though.

    Obviously he cares more about the majors, as we do, than anything else. Thought everyone just assumed that.

    Hopefully J.B. Holmes puts up a big number tomorrow....don't want to watch this guy play all weekend.  He is the worst....so damn slow.
