Surprised there is not a thread on this, unless I'm missing it. Does Tiger get it done? Rory? Lot of bunched scores after one day.

Rors will shoot something around a 78 today. With the wind picking up and and recent Friday collapses, he will be several shots back. Tiger will struggle, but something around par or +1 is what I'm thinking. I fully expect him to be within a couple of the lead going into the weekend.

Coetzee is in the clubhouse at -5. I don't think anyone will be lower than that.

Course is already playing a few strokes harder than yesterday. I think we are going to see some big numbers this afternoon.

Golf is difficult to predict.

Lol no shit!

Tiger, from what I have read, looked completely disinterested about half through today.

He has to learn how to play a different game. It's like he's trying to be the Tiger of old.

Most certainly, and I don't think Rory hangs on either...someone else will sneak in and snatch the jug tomorrow.

Yeah, and after watching his post round interview, I may have to rethink my post...the kid is dialed in.

Old man McIlroy and his pals about to cash in on $350,000.

So like every other major, my buddy and I do a pick-em by world ranking. One player from 1-10, 11-20, 21-30, 31-40, 50+ (darkhorse). Low cumulative score is a build your own 6 pack and so is picking the winner. You can drop highest score after Friday

My team: Rory (-17), Phil (-5), Dufner (+1), Shane Lowry (-10, -7 today!) -31
His Jason Day (+3), McDowell (-10), Fowler (-15), Cabrera (-6). -28

First time it came down to the last day. Made the last 9 holes very exciting.
