    The odds on those write-ins are about the same as the odds that Ben Crane will be the speedies player in the tournament or that he would survive another round with Rocco Mediate!

    Ordinarily I would have Tiger like the rest of you, but I just can't believe that after not playing competitively for this long that he'll be sharp enough to win on this Golf Course. I am sure he will be emotionally charged being that it's on Fathers Day weekend and all, but I just don't think that will be enough.

    So.

    I see Phil and VJ are hanging tough at even and Furyk is 1 under. I'll bet the field is over par for the day. :)

    Only Furyk at under par now, Phil hanging in there at even....oh this might get ugly!! Tiger not on the course yet, VJ in the clubhouse at +1 probably feels pretty good.

    Tiger struggling early....4 bogies in six holes. +3 after 6. Ugh...Winged Foot is having its way with these boys. 41% GIR for the field thus far....ouch.
