Anyone watching it. Tiger is amazing. Some of the stuff he does is beyond explanation. At the turn I would have said there is no way he would be leading after 54 holes. Then he eagles both par 5s and chips in on 17. Crazy stuff.

Gotta love the game.

Watched some today. Tigers already one of the greatest. And look how young he is in this sport. He might break all of the records.

Gonna be a long time before another comes along to come close.

Rocco was much more consistent throughout. But tomorrow.... I wouldn't bet against Woods.:)

P.S. I don't play golf at all.:p

He's definitely on his way or is already the greatest of all time.

I have been following it pretty closely. Tiger is simply amazing. Did anyone see some of the after the shot footage? He is in some serious pain, and still playing incredible golf.

This will be Tiger's 14th Major if he wins, Nicklaus has 20.

Will Tiger's body hold out for 6-7 more?

"He is in some serious pain"

I haven't had a chance to watch any so far.
What is wrong with Woods, he has a injury of some sort?

I've had the same surgery as Tiger, and went out there to try and play golf one month later. Seeing the pain that he is in, I know that this is going to effect him today. You cannot twist your knee, unless you plan on staying off your leg for the next 2-3 months. Its his long drives that are getting to him, so those par 5's are going to kill him. However, if they shoot him up with steroids in the knee last night, he'll do just fine today.

Yes, that man is amazing to watch, the back 9 has been terrific for him. I did enjoy watching Rocco too, he was so consistent. Did everyone see all those 1'-3' putts being missed, there was a sh!t load of them, I couldn't believe all the misses. This will be a great day to watch, I wanna see Tiger win, but with his knee the way it is, I think Lee or Rocco is going to win....

Garager, par 5's are Tigers bread and butter. I remember he eagled 2 holes yesterday, I think one was a par 5, and I think the second was a par 4 on a chip shot. He was not letting the pain affect his game at all. One of his drives yesterday was 360 yards.

He almost dropped to the ground on his drive on one of the par 5's yesterday, from the pain. Because he has to swing so hard and put all the weight on his left knee, then twist it. It is affecting him, but if he got a steroid shot, his game will be good. Today, he should be feeling the pain after yesterdays performance if he got no shot in the knee.

It's affecting him, but not his game.

I played golf once. A whole lot actually. Got pretty damn good at if it I do say so. Then I discovered that golf and wives don't usually mix too well.

I'm gonna miss her.:mcrider:

I would love to take the day off to watch, I am lucky though. I have a computer on my desk here at work so I will stay in touch with the round.
Tiger is the best at what he does because he believes that he is. He is the most focused athlete that I have ever witnessed. He thrives on pressure. Most people would have caved on that putt on the eighteen. Not Tiger, he lives for that moment, just another day at the office and he will go on to beat all the records as long as he stays healthy. Every time he tees it up he makes history one way or another.
He did pretty darn good this week on one leg.
Garager: Sorry to hear about your leg. Did it heal well. How long before it was buisness as ussual.

He did great on one leg and he won it today. Aaron was right, and so was Joey, he most certainly had adrenalin going on. :clapping:

I was working with in a week, had no choice at that time. Money was of concern then. Its never really totally healed on me, like today I sure felt it. I learned how to rest my knee when it hurts, so I live with it. Beside it lets me know that I'm still alive.... :clapping: :cool: :D

I was driving back from Michigan this afternoon. Kept calling Helen for updates. I woulda been happy with either of em winning. Tigers now 11 and 1 in playoffs. Still hasnt lost a major when leading or sharing the lead going into the final round of a major.
