Tiger's play turned on a dime again and finished 1 over for the day. Nice to see Furyck back near the top even though I don't expect him to stay there.

As has been the case in practically all of the majors, he stumbles down the stretch.
There may be 3 days left, but I'll call it now - he's not winning this.
I'm a fan of the guy, but he just doesn't have it right now in majors. He falls apart every time.

I have said for a while that I think Brandel Chamblee is the best commentator in American Sports.
This is an interesting article from him, and while he may be off a touch, he is spot on with the Tiger Woods' overall bullying mentality. Tiger and Lance A are so similar, I find them both disgusting.

Here is the part of the article that matters:
Tiger Woods F: When I was in the fourth grade, I cheated on a math test and when I got the paper back it had "100" written at the top and just below the grade, was this quote, "Oh, what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive!" It was an oft-quoted line from the epic poem "Marmion" by Sir Walter Scott, and my teacher's message was clear. Written once more beneath that quote was my grade of "100", but this time with a line drawn through it and beneath that an F. I never did ask my teacher how she knew I cheated and I certainly didn't protest the grade. I knew I had done the wrong thing and my teacher the right, but I never forgot the way I felt when I read that quote.
I remember when we only talked about Tiger's golf. I miss those days. He won five times and contended in majors and won the Vardon Trophy and ... how shall we say this ... was a little cavalier with the rules.
I'm not in the business of predicting wins or scores but am often asked to do so. Before the events started, I predicted that Adam Scott would win the Masters, Phil Mickeslon would win the Open Championship and Stacy Lewis would win the Women's Open Championship, but I also said that Tiger would win the U.S. Open and he would do so with a record score. I also said that Tiger, coming off his 7-shot win at Bridgestone, would win the PGA Championship. So I was 3 for 5 in the majors that I predicted and 0-1 in scores, which makes me even money in the betting world and 50 percent in the academic world, which is an F.
But at least I earned this one honestly.

Too bad. As much as I dislike Tiger, he has a presence that no other golfer has; still, I will be watching as much of the Masters as I can. Two months ago, I liked Jason Day to get the Green Jacket from his fellow Aussie; but with Day's injuries, Phil's woes and Tiger's absence; I think Adam Scott is quite a big favorite to repeat.
