I think I'm getting my bearings a bit here, but something still seems funny ...: What's that? Tiger Woods is still on top of the leaderboard ...
Yeah I know, it's just that people actually gained on him instead of falling back ...: Weird, isn't it? Well, you never know what Saturday will bring. I'd expect Tiger to stretch his lead out.
Why's that?: Well, he's paired with an relatively untested Irishman, Damien McGrane, who is ranked No. 318 in the world, and No. 1 Tiger loves nothing more than to teach a few lessons on his way to an insurmountable lead.
True. But even Tiger struggled out there today ...: So he did. A 71 for Tiger right now is like 125 for most of us hackers. But it was windy. Did you see his quotes in the interview tent?
Yeah. He said "We had a myraid of distractions out there and you had to be committed ...": That's what he said. I find that odd.
Why?: Because if anyone knows anything about distractions and commitment it should be Tiger.
I was more surprised about the use of the word "myriad". It's not a typical golfer word ...: Tiger's not a typical golfer. Remember, the big fella did go to Stanford ...
OK, who else do you think has a chance to catch up?: Not McGrane ... sorry, Damien. But we saw what happened to Kevin Streelman last Saturday. I'm gonna go with the usual suspects ... Henrik Stenson is only two back and is probably playing the most "non-Tiger" consistent great golf in the world. And then Sergio's only three behind and Ernie Els and Lee Westwood are only four behind.
So anything can happen then, right?: Yeah. But probably Tiger is going to win. Anything else?
I don't have anything else ...: OK, see, "anything" just happened twice. Now get some rest. Long weekend ahead ...
