Its sad. Tiger is playing a nice round right now, even through 8. But, he is not happy with anything. Its a shame. I think this is the first time I have felt bad for him. I can't imagine what is going on between his ears.

He's got real high expectations on this course. He's not scoring yet so of course he's not happy. I wouldn't read too much into it at this stage.

Yes a "nice" round for Tiger from our perspective could be quite different from what he wants. I can thin a gap wedge and have it finish 2 feet from the hole; what I'm concerned about is making a crappy swing.

I didn't watch three seconds of the broadcast though, so it's just general observation. BTW-- where's my 3W?!

Talk about a major meltdown..................

Tiger is playing like any one of 100 spare pro golfers, If he's going to be number 1, he better step it up a bit.

You mean stay #1. I keep waiting and hoping for Phil to catch him but every time Phil has a chance... nothing.

Tiger has been made mortal. What no golfer could do, a series of affairs, tabloid reports and a seriously pissed wife have done in a matter of months. Don't get me wrong, I don't feel bad for him. But he is now mortal, still my favorite at St. Andrews though.

a bunch of heckling in his direction today as well. So much for the mentally toughest person on the planet or whetever crap Earl use to spout.

Yangs 49 on the back was the bed shitting of the day however

I don't know if he's back for real this time or what, but that back nine was pretty damn good. That 3w was incredible, did you head Johnny Miller right before Tiger hit the shot? He said something to the effect that that was a crazy shot to try to hit.

Hope your right. Pulling hard for DJ. So, I go to church last night, and come home to find out Tiger shot 66, and the Phillies gave up a 5 run lead in the ninth to lose to the Twins. WTH?

The thing with Tiger is that his swing crap right now. Almost 100% relies on timing. With a timing based swing you will have days like yesterday. However they will be few and far between, and rarely happen 2 days in a row.

I'm kicking myself right now. For the coffee cup challenge I started with Els, Mickelson, woods and DJ. I got to thinking that nobody his age could win the US Open ,just to much pressure. SO I switched out DJ for Zach Johnson......at least they all made the cut!
