McDowell and Scott will be the final twosome, it appears.

Tomorrow could be an interesting day with a 25-30 mph wind forecasted.

I hope it's that windy, but I heard 10-15 mph was the forecast.  If it's 25-30, anybody near the top could win, maybe even Ernie Els.

Here's the forecast:

Looks like moderate (not high) winds.

I played 27 holes today so I missed it all. I hate to say this but Tiger does not play well in windy and bad weather conditions, regardless of what everybody thinks. If there are at least 15 MPH winds, he won't be around at the end, IMO.

His 2 and 3-iron tee shots should work out well in the wind.  At least, it should be better than drivers by Adam Scott and the others.  The main problem is he's so far behind Scott now (5 strokes) that it'd take a Scott meltdown for him to have a chance.

Catching up in adverse  conditions is not Tigers strength. If he holds steady and Scott, et al collapse, then he has a chance.

British chat this morning:

Tiger arrived in red (shirt) and black (vest and pants), and he immediately walked through the "flower garden" as a shortcut to the practice green.  
"A letter to the club secretary is in order."

Adam Scott:

"Look, I'm going to be nervous.  I'm very excited."

Something very hilarious about the Brit announcing the players at the 1st tee, announcing "and from the USA.......Bubba Watson!". There was probably a 10 minute discussion in the pre-tourney meetings on how to properly pronounce "Bubba"

Apparently "Iron Bladder" asks when it's in doubt.  Otherwise, it'd have been a full committee discussion.
