    I was hoping that they would start later. I like this primetime golf.

    Yeah, they need to go with Musco lighting on the back 9 when the Open is on the east coast (kinda like ABC's Monday Night Golf from the early 2000s.).
    Some fans claim one series or another runs "real race cars." What's everybody else running, fake race cars? :confused:

    Tiger was up 3 but now its even.

    {Edit} Tiger just hit the most amazing sand shot I've ever seen. Rocco just followed it up with an awesome birdie putt to take a one-stroke lead with three holes left.

    Where do they start the playoff? If 18 again - HUGE advantage for Tiger.

    Nice break for Rocco.

    It doesn't look like it will be enough though.

    The Golf Messiah does it again. He is the most clutch athlete (even more than MJ) I have ever seen!

    Wink

    Is it that Tiger Woods is that good, or are all other golfers lazy overpaid wasters? Just wondering.

    Those other guys are good - he is just a bit better, and rarely self-destructs.

    I'm amazed at the distance those guys hit. I played Torrey last Summer from the whites at 6,800 yards, and it was LOOONNGG (78 with a birdie on 18 )

    On 7, after a good drive, I had 3 hybrid in. Tiger, from 40 yards behind my tee hits Driver, 8 iron.

    I'm not a golfer or much of a golf fan, but I loved every minute of the back nine and the sudden death.
    It's a joy to see the greatest at his game win, even when he wasn't at his best.
    He just refuses to lose.
    Have a very blessed day!

    I was rooting for Rocco, but an amazing come back by Tiger

    I just got back from playing Pinehurst #2 - shot an 84 from the whites. The greens are like a turtle shell.

    Did you have to use a caddy?

    Yes - we walked with caddies. They helped a lot - especially on the greens when it looked like a left break, and it actually went right

    They can hit it long, but remember when Paul Lawrie won at Carnoustie? They were all whingeing about the conditions. When the going gets tough...
