    I see that Phil is off to a good start. I'll be interested in how this turns out, evidently that course is bone dry and hard. Runouts will be anywhere from 60 to 100yds, Tiger is taking the 5 wood out of his bag and putting a 2 iron back.

    I figure though that the winner will be another unknown like Ben Curtis.

    Looking at the leader board it's pretty much what I expected a veritable who's who of who's he! :)

    I see Tiger finished strong and is only 1 shot behind what's his face. :)

    Faldo shot 77 playing with Tiger!! Given their supposed mutual dislike I find that funny that 1) they had to play together and that 2)Nick played so bad, I wonder if he'll admit playing with Tiger is intimidating.

    Faldo should have to carry Tiger's clubs after that whipping!

    Well the who's that's and who's he's of the tourney are starting to fade and Tiger is starting to roar. He's -11 with 3 holes to go in his 2nd round, today he's -6 so far. But there are a lot of yesterdays low scores that still have to tee off so there certainly is a chance for a lot of other players to go low and recrowd the top of the leader boards with the unknows of the tourney.

    What is amazing is that the field is killing this course, British Opens are not supposed to be like this.

    :D Unless Tiger has a complete collapse, my money is on him winning the tournament!

    Tiger up by 1 after three rounds. He will be paired with Garcia in the final round tomorrow. Should be an interesting round

    Yeah Tiger, while possessing a big lead will be tough to beat tomorrow.
