Tiger having an unreal round. Lot of low scores. Packed leaderboard.
Good for Tiger  
superspynyg : 7/21/2018 11:05 am : link
golf is better when he is playing well....Especially when its a major.
Spieth and Tiger in contention  
UConn4523 : 7/21/2018 11:09 am : link
Sunday would be massive for the sport. Sure hope it happens.
Tiger being in the mix  
SFGFNCGiantsFan : 7/21/2018 11:27 am : link
does generate interest, but God I hope he loses. ABT.
Generates interest is an understatement  
UConn4523 : 7/21/2018 11:47 am : link
you’ll basically have the entire golf world tuning in tomorrow if he’s within a couple strokes of the lead.

Great 4 on 18 from Tiger

Excited for tomorrow!!!!
Unreal par save at 18 for Tiger.  
figgy2989 : 7/21/2018 12:19 pm : link
You could have a Sunday with Rory, Tiger and Jordan within a few strokes of the lead. NBC has got to be creaming their pants.
66 is awesome  
Joey from GlenCove : 7/21/2018 12:22 pm : link
but i suspect he will be 5 back at the end of the day.

it would be nice to see him put together another 66 tomorrow
Great leader board.  
johnnyb : 7/21/2018 1:02 pm : link
Sets up for a nice final round. Tomorrow is Bagels and Bloodies, final round of the British Open. Small gathering with friends. Nice tradition. Makes for a long Sunday.

for Tiger and Rory I don’t think they could have asked for a better leaderboard heading into Sunday.
I didn’t even know the British Open was being played this weekend.

So awesome to see him playing well again!
Speith win  
weeg in the bronx : 7/21/2018 7:45 pm : link
He's the story. A fourth major at age 24 and you have to think he's a ten major guy. Forget rankings he's the best golfer in the world.

If he ever gets his putting back to where it was a couple years ago he’s got the type of game that will never really break down. Excellent mechanics, doesn’t overextend himself, and shouldn’t have major health issues due to playing style. He will never be the longest but he’s so good it likely won’t matter long term.
Spieth isnt Rory long but he can move it out there too  
Jimmy Googs : 7/21/2018 8:47 pm : link
as needed on the rolling fairways.

Tough to see Tiger passing all three guys that are 9-under. Have to imagine one of those 3 goes low enough to pull away with the win.

Good tourney though. Love those last 3 finishing holes that are going to give folks fits if the wind picks up and the pressure kick in. You better have a 2 stroke lead on the last hole otherwise its probably a playoff.

Major championship golf is good theater...
supposed to be very windy tommorrow  
CGiants07 : 7/21/2018 9:26 pm : link
anything under par will be a great score
Interesting element to spieth’s flying right elbow.....  
thrunthrublue : 7/21/2018 9:54 pm : link
Johnny miller was commenting that in the nasty high grass rough it is critical to hold the face square through the hitting zone as the club passes through the high grass, it wants to twist, and with spieth’s elbow being in the flying position it really helps him in this thru the cross hatched high grass.....his swing seems to match British open conditions......!
Spieth was feeling it on Saturday  
Jimmy Googs : 7/22/2018 9:04 am : link
and he made the last 3 difficult holes look like a walk in the park with a birdie and two easy tap in pars.

Its gotta' be the haircut...

Spieth showed he can overcome bad play, he’s done it his whole career. I’m not counting anyone out, certainly not him.
Tiger caught a huge break on 18 yesterday

Was inches from going out of bounds and somehow stayed in and saved par.

He’s got this. Unless McElroy or spieth really get hot.

I think so. To have that many surgeries and having the fall from grace he did pretty much had the entire world writing him off on ever being good again. Not sure what could possibly be bigger.

He may go close to 80 today. He can’t hit a fairway, green, or make a putt.

Rory is the only I can see giving tiger a run now.

Do you get bonus majors for coming from behind? Are they worth more than having the lead in the final round and not allowing those behind you to catch up?

Most overrated statistic you can think of which is what you always use it.

Actually, I was rooting for him this year as I stated in the Masters thread in April and I wished he had won. He's turned a corner emotionally(like Sergio) which is good so I now root for him, but... There are Barry Bonds' questions about his amazing club head speed post back fusion surgery that need to be answered.

weeg in the bronx : 7/22/2018 5:53 pm : link
Losers:
Speith for sure. Speith has now failed to hold leads in two major in two years. he appeared to quite late in the round.

Winners:
Other than Molinari you had Xander who hung in all the way.

McIlroy. He is real close to being the best player on tour again. Has to be favorite to win the PGA.

Woods. Yeah he gacked but he was somewhere he hadn't been in a very long time - in the lead late in a major - and even after faltering on those two holes, he played well. His play bodes well for next year.
Very excitng tournament  
Torrag : 7/22/2018 6:06 pm : link
Carnoustie finally bared it's teeth a little and it showed. Happy for Tiger even though he couldn't seal the deal he had a legit chance. If he can keep the injury monkey off his back I believe he'll re-enter the Major winning circle before he bows out. I hope to see it happen.

Wait. Tiger Woods has to answer to who? You? And for what exactly? By inserting Barry Bonds you are obviously accusing him of roiding. Should he call you up and explain how he’s got his swing speed back because you want answers? Is this serious? Why should he have to answer to anything? Either show some proof that he’s cheating or shut the fuck up.

Well if he is cheating, it’s not exactly working. He used to be the best you know so being pretty good now should not be a surprise.

And the difference in his game is really more on the green now as the birdie putts don’t fall as often when your old...
