Hasn't Tiger won from behind once now?

I was well aware of that stat (thank you Skip Bayless), but that doesn't matter. When Tiger is that high on the leaderboard, picking him is the lowest risk IMO.

Pressure will be on Lee Westwood.

One of the top players in Europe and in the world. But never a Major champion. Something he'll look to change today.

Westwood takes a one shot lead into the final round.

Phil Mickelson had the gallery buzzing Saturday.

A third Green Jacket is in sight.

I hate that line.

Pressure is on every player taking the course that is actually still trying to win the tournament.

Tiger Woods' Saturday round included five bogeys and seven birdies.

He must rally from four strokes back to win Green Jacket No. 5.

True, although I do think Westwood having never won might feel it more than Woods and Mickelson.

Those two are very competitive and they want to win as much as they did the first time but it's still a situation if you lose you still have all those majors in the bag.

Somebody trying to win that first one doesn't know how many chances they'll get.

Westwood, in particular, was one of the best players back in 1998-2001, then fell off the radar for several years and returned to top form the past couple years, 2008-present. He definitely wants to add a major to the resume and confirm how good of a player he is.

He's looked composed through three days but you know he's trying hard to keep that focus and not get rattled, trying not to let on how much he wants it. But that's going to be a different challenge being Sunday and also with the galleries pulling for either Mickelson or Tiger to win.

That's an amazing stat.

Tiger has won 14 majors but never when trailing entering the final round.

You have to think that will be broken someday.

Westwood starts off with a bogey

Westwood and Mickelson at -11

He's dicked.

If Tiger wins it's either going to be one of the most epic comebacks ever, or one of the most epic collapses ever.

Kinda kills some excitement early...

Westwood is just playing the most consistent golf. Driving, iron play and putting.

The intangibles seems like the only thing that will keep him from winning this.

I think Phil's putt had a chance until the golfing gods threw the pine seed on the 2nd hole.

Come on, I'm rooting for Tiger but his irons are no excuse. Not on Sunday after he's been playing well all tournament with them.
