    I wish they'd bring back the prime time golf specials they did a couple of times a few years back with the final few holes under the temporary Musco light towers. It was a total gimmick for ratings but kinda cool.

    A little melodramatic and sickening coverage at times of Tiger, but WOW. Just wow. Whether you like him or not, you have to appreciate excellence. And you know the NBC suits have to be ecstatic that Tiger is in the lead--guarantees lots of eyeballs tomorrow.

    Wow...what a day for Tiger. Those three shots (even though the chip in was such luck) were incredible. What poise that guy has.

    Yep, My aunt and unlce arrived for a last minute overnight on their way north and we watched last night. Tiger has the golden swing Back! It was so nice to see him with the look of unbelief and the smile spread across his face when he moved the ball from the rough right into the hole!

    Do you think Tiger will be able to hang on? He seems to be in so much pain. I feel bad for him.

    WAH!

    He is a grown man who made a decision to play on a suspect knee and potentially cause even further damage. He did not need to play this tournament other than his quest for "majors". I am sure the other players do not share you pity because even with the bad knee he is a great player.

    Now, this could be real interesting if Ernie could sink a putt today!

    I feel no pain for Tiger, agree with T8er. I think he's milking it a bit just for drama (no, I'm not saying it doesn't really hurt, just that all guys like to play up their bad shoulder/elbow, etc. just to have an excuse when they lose!). Now we have six guys within 3 strokes, should be a good finish...nice Father's Day gift!

    T8, are you as much of a Tiger-hater as my husband? I think you're both just jealous.

    I am not jealous in the slightest. He worked very hard to get to where he is today. Me, I HAD a life as a kid/teenager. :D

    I am older and a Nicklaus fan, as good as Tiger truly is, I honestly do not want him to beat Jack's majors record.

    Bit of a back patting for myself... if I could have concentrated on one sport as a kid (I played pretty much ALL of them, I LOVE (ok, obsess) to compete), who knows, I could have had a possible pro career in baseball or golf. Heck, I am a 1-2 handicap right now playing only 2-3 times a month.

    I grew up on Nicklaus, also, but he often sounds so bitter and negative that I've found myself wanting Tiger to obliterate his records. I guess you don't get to be that dominant without being incredibly competitive, so I guess his defensiveness is understandable (just not very agreeable).

    Why did I hear that Springsteen song "Glory Days" just ringing in my ears, T8er?! I loved sports and played them all, but was just never that good.

    Yeah. This should be good. I'm sure Tiger's knee is really excited about yet ANOTHER 18. Will it be televised, anyone know?

    Talk about clutch...he is the king of it. Rocco is in for a major challenge tomorrow. Not like he hasn't been the last four days though. Wish I had a job like T8erman so I could watch it at work...

    Rocco looks to be approaching self-destruct mode.
