    Shaping up to be quite a weekend.

    Tiger makes birdie from the bunker to go -6.
    That may put him in the final group with Scott and Snedeker.

    That will put the pressure on those two.

    Tiger needs five more majors to pass Jack, I for one will be rooting for him.

    That bunker shot by Tiger on 18 was awesome. I hope he can hold it together better than he did at the US Open.

    I have no family around this weekend. I get to watch as much golf as I want to and not be bothered. WOOHOO!

    This is brutal to watch. McDowell is playing like...me. Scott is doing himself no favors but still with a good lead. Tiger's making a late charge but he hasn't played the back 9 well and doesn't have any more room for anything other than birdies.

    Tiger just isn't the same man. 440 plus par 4 and he hits 200 yards off the deck to leave him a 3 iron from 240 yards out. He won't win another major playing tin cup golf. Good bye Jack. Such a shame,
    I was really rooting for this guy.

    Me, too. He just keep falling apart on the weekends. He held it together enough yesterday to stay in contention but has just imploded again today.

    Els within 1 with a 68. Pressure on Scott with 2 to play. I've always like Els. Hope he gets a shot at a playoff...though it will be weird to have 2 belly putters in a playoff for The Open Championship.

    Scott choking the championship. Tee shot is dead. Good chance 4 straight bogeys to lose championship and known as one of the worst choke jobs.

    Didn't want Scott to win, but that was painful to watch.
