Leaders O'Hair and Palmer about to tee off. Lefty 5 off the lead. Kuchar and Els right there, also. Didn't see a thread here or over on Pro Sports. Should be fun, lot of players in contention.

Lefty falling apart right now. Ryan Palmer birdies 1 and is your new leader at 10 under.

One of my favorite players right now, Hunter Mahan, joins the group at 7 under. 13 players within 4 shots of the lead.

Where is Mickelson at? He needs a top 4 finish to become #1 in the world rankings.

I think he has bogeyed 3 holes in a row...he is out of the top 20 at this point.

Palmer bogeys the easy 2nd hole. O'Hair birdies and they flip flop.

Looks like Phil is scared to be number one..another bogey..he is 5 over today and has not made the turn yet.

Furyk just got a horrible break...his approach hit the pin and bounced into the water..would have been a birdie to go to 8 under, but now he is playing 4...terrible break.

I gave Lefty the bogey on 9..he ended up doubling..6 over thru 9 holes. There will not be a new number one.

Wow, figured this would be the week FIGJAM would take over, especially with how poorly Tiger played.

Not gonna happen for FIGJAM this week. 9 over today, 5 over overall now.

Mahan continues to charge..he leads O'Hair and Bo Van Pelt by a stroke.

Mahan with a ridiculous par save on 15...tee shot into the bunker, poor shot out of the bunker and left himself a long par putt that he drilled. Coming out party for him if he can hang on.

Mahan trying to blow it right now...just hit his 2nd shot on the par 5 16 in a flower bed on the hole where Tiger hit the ball on the roof of the clubhouse that one year..he is in some serious trouble and his 2 stroke lead is in jeopardy.

When did the PGA not fall under Pro Sports?

Hunter Mahan wins the tournament. He played great down the stretch, making some great pars to hold on to the victory at 12 under. His 3rd career victory, 2nd this season and Whistling Straights setups great for his game. I hope he can contend next week.

Ryan Palmer finished in 2nd outright, 10 under par.

Tiger Wood shoot 77
Ernie Ells 76
Phil Mickelson 78........unbelievable.
