65' putt

Just like 2 does!   :lol2:

Tiger birdies #4 also:  -5

 #+

Gone to eat with the fam. Pull Tiger through for me.

Appears CP has some Smitty in him.

 :dunno:

Alabama's Bud Cauley in 3rd at -8.

I like Alabama golfers but Tiger could use some moral humility I believe. Just saying big dogs need fleas sometimes. RTR!

Bud is now at -9. Tiger at -6. Leaders at -12.

Bud drops a shot and is now -8. The leaders, Ricky Fowler among them, are at -11. Tiger is gaining ground now at -7. He is done for the day.

Stenson ends up -12 as the leader.  LOTS of folks between Tiger and the top, but at least he's playing well.

For those who don't like him:

Fowler finished bogie, double bogie to end up at -8. Bud finished -7.

Found another:

 :(

9th hole (par 4, 474 yds).

Tiger (-10) loses a driver far right (against a tent); gets a drop.  Has a shot from there, but tough to judge distance (185 yards??).  HITS THE GREEN, but runs out and off the back.  Poor 3rd shot; runs past 15'.  BOGEY.
 :(

Bud didn't.  He's at -6, though, with a PAR.

11th (par 4).

Bud in the water.

Tiger on fairway.

Come on Bud get'er done. RTR!

Guess I need to quit cheering for Bud. RTR!

Thanks, Chech.  I missed the front nine.

11th (par 4).

Bud (-6) on the fairway.  Approach not so great; on green, but 41' to hole.

Tiger (-10) also on fairway.  Short on approach, and BARELY stays on fringe above the water.

Both get PAR.

I'm wearing down.  2 said he was back from playing golf.  So I've been using abbreviated notes.

12th hole (par 5):

Tiger (-10) is just 3 back now, but behind some excellent players (who are behind him).

Good drive of 300 yards (with DRIVER!) on 12th.  In the fairway.  He needs to get at least a birdie here to have any chance.

12th hole (par 5):

Tiger from the sand to within 4' for birdie.  GOT IT!!   :worship: :worship: :worship:

Tiger is -11 and 2 back.

:jump:

13th hole (par 4):

Tiger (-11) with another good iron drive to the fairway.  Just 142 yards to the hole.

 :popcorn2:

Great approach, and a 14' BIRDIE!!

:jump:

14th hole (par 3).

Tiger (-12) hits his iron into the fringe, but it bounces right into a collection area.  Tough shot from here.

 :popcorn2:

14th hole (par 3).

Tiger (-12) gets a good (not complex) chip to within 2' of the hole.  PAR

15th hole (467-yd par 4).

Tiger (-12) with a good drive, but trickles into the rough.

 :popcorn2:

He hits an excellent shot, right at the flag, but comes up 15' short.  Didn't jump out of the rough.

Barely missed.  PAR

16th hole (par 5; 496 yards).  MUST get a birdie or better here to have a chance to win.

Tiger (-12) hits the drive OUT OF BOUNDS.

AND THIS TOURNAMENT IS OVER FOR HIM.   :'( :'( :'(

Tiger just leapfrogged Cauley's ball.

Yeah, and Michigan State just lost!

Tiger (-11) got a bogey on the easiest hole on the course.

FRIGGIN DRIVER!!  Crap.   >:(

#17 (par 3)

Tiger (-11) MUST get birdies here and at 18.  This is the hardest of the two.

 :popcorn2:

Never play against Rory on St Patrick's weekend.  He just sank ANOTHER looooong birdie, and he leads at -15.

WOW!

Bud Cauley got a birdie at #16.  He's -7 and even for the tournament.

Bud didn't have the best day, but I'm sure he'll enjoy the $75-100k check that will come in the mail.

And he got a nice smile and pat on the back from Tiger at 18th.  Nice gesture there.

 :worship: :worship:

How can you be -7 and even for the Tournament?  ???  Even for the day maybe?

$137,950 prize for T14.  His check may be $75k after Uncle Sam gets his grubby paws on it.

Thank you, White Cloud.  I will get worse in coming years.   :tinfoil:

It's ok, Check.

:facepalm:

 :lol:
