Tiger with pars on first 3 holes (10, 11, 12).

Fowler and Mahan at -2 (watch out for Ricky this week).


Featured pairing this morning.

[Chechem]

Tiger hit his 3rd shot 155 yards on the Par-5 13th:
within 18" for a certain birdie.

I have certifications all week and can't watch the tube. I'll check here from time to time for updates. Thanks Chech.

Tiger got the birdie.
He's -1 and 1 stroke back.

[Chechem]

Lots of folks at -2 already.  Announcers saying "expect a 64 today"; course is playing easy, despite being narrow and having high rough.  No wind yet; greens holding.

Tiger middle of fairway on the 14th (teed off with a 5 iron!).   

[Chechem]

Tiger pars the 14th.

8 tied at -2.

Tiger seems to be steady with the putter (has speed figured well), and his irons are good (as they were last weekend).  No need for a driver on this course, and he hasn't even pulled the 3 wood yet.

[Chechem]

15th is a tough little par 3 (180 yards).

Tiger makes a good shot (8 iron?), 10' below the hole.

David Toms and Robert Garrigus move to -3 (leaders).

[Chechem]

Tiger got his 10' birdie at the 15th.  He's one back of the leaders.

Keegan had a poor start, struggling with drives and putts.  But he also got a birdie at 15, and is at even now.

[Chechem]

7 of the 10 leaders are playing the back nine (Tiger included).

[Chechem]

16th:

Tiger hits a 3-wood.  Missed it a bit, but on the fairway.

addendum: Tiger lags a 60' putt to 10".  Par.
David Love with a great (tree-assisted) shot to save par.
Keegan gives back a shot with a poor putt from inside 8'.

[Chechem]

17th (450-yard par 4):

Tiger with 3-wood; missed right (intermediate rough).
Second shot from under trees to just short of green; okay lie in fluffy grass.
Flop shot to 5'.
Par.

David Hearn now at -4 thru 11 (2 tied at -2).

[Chechem]

18th is a par 4 (500 yds):

Tiger hits fairway wood to the ... fairway.  Davis and Keegan miss to the left (with drivers).
2nd shot into green-side bunker.
Blasts out to 4'.
Par.


Garrigus joins Hearn at -4 (leaders).
Toms at -3; 9 others at -2, including Tiger.

[Chechem]

1st hole (Tiger's 10th of the day).
Tough little par-4 hole, 460 yards.

Tiger hits 3-wood, and splits the fairway.
2nd shot with ~7 iron to within 15' below hole.
Maybe a mishit on the putt; 10".
Par.

Interesting: Keegan Bradley's caddie hides cans of Pepsi on the course for Keegan.  Hides them in trees, animal burrows, etc.  Doesn't want to carry them al day!     Must work; birdied the 1st just now: E par.

Still no wind at all at Oak Hill.  Possibility of rain later.  Rained overnight.

Paul Casey has birdied 4 of last 5 holes: -2 (lots of up and down for him).

[Chechem]

No. 2, 401 yards, par 4: A long iron off the tee will keep the ball short of deep bunkers on both sides of the fairway. Approach shots will need to stay below the hole.

Update:
Hearn at -4
Furyk at -3 now at -4 also
Tiger and 8 others at -2

Tiger off 2nd tee with a low iron to a perfect position.
2nd shot (7 iron) to within 3.5'.
Pushed it; par.

Catch your breath, Chech. You're gonna lose your e-voice. 

Good job. Thanks again.
