Default Tiger is 13 under par

4 shot lead into the weekend. It's his last chance to win a tournament in 2010.

i went to sherwood yesterday to watch. walked away from the 2nd hole to avoid the scrum around woods so missed his eagle. but found out that i liked going to golf tournaments.

love of dinner at 4pm and complaining about modern music is just around the corner.

IMO, the best part about going to the tournaments is watching them hit balls on the range.

range area is the best. it's also where the players will more often than not, act like normal people too.

It is a fun place to watch them.

nice to see Tiger dominate on a Sunday again.

McDowell is rocksteady.

Great putting can overcome a lot of things.

Interesting stat...in 2010, Joe Durant led the PGA Tour in Driving Accuracy and was 3rd in Greens in Regulation, but finished 124th on the money list.

I'm not going to look it up but I'll bet he was not in the top 75 in driving distance or distance from pin on those greens in regulation. Not hitting it close can make those putting stats seem worse than they actually are.

Tour Average in Driving Distance is 287.3, Durant averaged 285.6...less than 2 yards. Not sure about avg. distance from the hole, but the simple truth is he is not a very good putter by tour standards, hence the 124th money ranking, even though he is generally regarded as one of the best ball strikers on tour.

I've grown to like and respect Tiger as he shows humility and after the loss yesterday I've grown to like him even more. Wow, G Mac pulled down some clutch putts.

That was fun tv and hopefully Tiger is back cause I sure enjoy watching the best win, lose or draw.

Well they had the PR machine rolling the past two weeks preparing for his first victory. He even posted on twitter a few days ago and asked questions.

It's not going to work. He doesn't give a f.uck about his fans and it's a slap in the face to his fans to have him faking interest and having him interact with them.

He needs at least 10 whores, unlimited benzos, ambien, coke, pot, etc and compulsive gambling.

He won't win again without it.

Yeah, he is showing humility. This has nothing to do with trying to get his endorsements back.

He is a wonderful human being who cares about everyone. Peace and love, peace and love. I know I couldn't respect him any more.

Totally agree and it showed before the famous night in November last year. It's just great to see him start to rebound. Scudds you gotta agree he showed some of that "fight" on Sunday. Long way to go. Wow, as GPK can certainly chime in golf is such a mental game, if you are thinking about anything but the next shot etc your done. I would love to know how much time Tiger spends practicing now compared to pre "the accident" and pre when he was kickin everyones tail.

Glad he showed up and look forward to his moving forward, forward in positive directions on and off the course.
