I’m pretty sure this tournament is going to come down to whether or not Tiger won for me so here’s an update on his round so far:
#19
Drove it left in the trees, hooked it out of the trouble and ran it up short of the green. Nice up and down for par on a hole that will play MUCH tougher today. Chance to win: 35.15%
#20
Long of the green in two, Tiger pitched up to about 4 feet and drained the putt for birdie. Chance to win: 38.56%
#21
Tiger bombed his drive to within a short pitch of the green. A mediocre approach, left him with a longer birdie putt that he almost made, but had to settle for par. Meanwhile, Choi converted birdie on 3 to get back to EVEN for the day. Couples remained at -7. Chance to win: 36.51%
#22
Tiger goes way left on 4, similar to the miss he had on 14 yesterday. Fails to get up and down. Behind him, Barnes moved to -6 with a birdie on 3. Projected winning score has risen about .3 so far, so the course should be playing harder today. Chance to win: 31.50%
#23
As Charl Schwartzel continues to implode on the course, Tiger pars the 5th hole. Ahead of him Couples is still at -7. Chance to win: 31.61%

This tournament has gone so horribly wrong, I’m left rooting for one thing:
Sandy Lyle to go 69-90. C’mon Sandy!
The last hour has actually been really “good” in a “we were already at rock bottom” kind of way.
-Couples dropped a shot,
-Perry birdied two tough holes
-Charl is falling apart.
-Sergio hasn’t totally sucked.
-Sergio hasn’t totally sucked.
You forgot to add “yet” to that statement.
“You forgot to add “yet” to that statement.”
Yes, good call.
