Tiger started off the day playing solid golf making strong par putts. Then he tried to turn it on down the back nine and was at a good -1 heading to the 17th. Then after two wayward drives and one frustrating and missed 10 footer he dropped to +1 and gave a classic post round interview with USA. I can't tell you it verbatim, but I will sure post a YouTube link when it comes up. It was hilarious when he was asked what is the difference in the back nine this year and ten years ago when you won. He shoots back I would have shot a 30 ten years ago. Classic Tiger. He'll come back tomorrow and as Faldo said come around Amen Corner and be in the lead. No surprises.
Justin Rose and Brett Wettrich are both -3 and in the lead. Rose was easily the most impressive golfer of the day having zero bogeys and only 20 putts. If he continues putting like this, which is doubtful, he easily could go wire to wire on the field.
The course looks the same this year but seems to be playing a bit more difficult. It may be a little harder and since it is suppose to be colder this year, temperatures in the high 50's over the weekend, I expect the winner to be around -3. We will see though Faldo said it may be over par.
Well coverage starts at 4:00 PM ET tomorrow. And I'll be sure to be watching.
Oh and by the way "Three Putt" Phil finished +4 and T-44. I expect him to make the cut tomorrow and probably shoot a good round of about -3. He had 30 putts today and will need to improve on that obviously.
