I'm a Tiger fan, but was rooting for Rocco all day yesterday, until Tiger started his run on the 13th.

Though I know Rocco was hoping for a final pairing with Tiger, it worked out perfectly for him if you ask me. Not being with Tiger gives you a better chance of winning. Just like few years back when that guy from Australia, Michael something won the US open?

Prediction: Tiger wins and Rocco finishes second. Westwood will fall apart. Few people challenge Tiger on Sunday and keep up with him... the last person to do it was Dimarco at the Masters!!

SOULD BE A FUN SUNDAY!

That back 9 was truly inspirational. Throw in the fact that his was in serious pain on almost every big swing and you have a true champion. Most humans would use the pain as an excuse to fall behind. Tiger used the pain as a motivator and you could see it in his face.

Pretty special guy that Tiger. I had a chance to follow him and Phil Thursday and gonna do it again today. Torrey Pines south is proving to be a perfect venue for the open and I hope the USGA considers having it here again soon.

Tiger is smart too. He had some situations where he could have gone for the impossible shot yesterday. He didn't. He took his medicine with bogeys.

It will be interesting to see what happens on #1 today. He went 6-3-6 in his first three rounds. In the second round it was actually his tenth hole since he started on the back. He put together an amazing "back nine" with six threes and three fourst that day. That would be remarkable at a normal tournament but at a US Open, wow!


I like Rocco and Lee but I don't like their chances today unless Tiger's knee is a major issue.

BTTW, what is up with the site's editor and Firefox 3.0RC? Doesn't work well here.

I don't play golf nor normally follow it, but this is some pretty good weekend tv.

Yep, Tiger is just trying to control his misses!
