I'm sorry but counting on Tiger(or any golfer) to continue to make 30 foot plus putts and hole out from 200 yards is insane. To me hes played miracle golf and Els has struck the ball better and scored only one stroke behind without any miracles. I think a continuation of that play will get him the prize.

again...care to wager on that?

What are the odds in Vegas Kev?

Kev the only odds I have are that Els is +309 to win and Tiger is -140 to win.

thats the same I saw.

Thing is I think its unfair to you to lay those odds. Those odds aren't just set after today's round. They also reflect the money already in on Tiger who was favored at the outset. I dunno, you don't really wanna lay -140 vs plus 309 do you? That doesnt seem like a real good deal.

So basically, Tiger is between 6/5 and 3/2 odds to win? (Sorry I dont do sports betting so I am ignorant to all the lingo).

That seems about right but in my opinion terrible wager either way.

no Tim, hes more like 3-5. you have to bet 140 bucks to win 100. Els is a tad over 3-1.

Not really....

Okay, sorry my bad. I didnt notice the minus sign in front of the 140. Thought it was a +. If it was a +140, that would make him between 6/5 and 3/2.

As much as I love Tiger and think he is the golfing god, 3/5 with a 1 shot lead over Ernie Els, with a bunch of big names within striking distance is not good in my opinion. He hasnt been all that dominant this year with very good reason. I like him to win but wouldnt take 3/5.

Well, I'll go straight exacta Tiger /Els, DiMarco. then. 6-0 in majors when having the lead after 36. Thats all day. Ora, you're trying to beat an unbeatable fav. Plenty of par 5s to birdie and hitting 23-28 fairways? If Tiger is on like that, NO CHANCE to beat him. -20 may be his final score. You will see solid play over the weekend. He has only 1 bogey in 2 rounds. You cannot beat him when he's on. Another point, He's hit maybe 1 driver? That's the only thing that gets him in trouble. He hits his fairways and you can pack your bags, piss on the fire and call in the dogs. Oh, and BTW, BIG FAT PHIL IS GARBAGE, anybody remotely comparing him to Tiger are a lost ball in high weeds.

After a quarter in :22 flat .. and a half in :43.3 ... Tiger's lead narrows to one length ... as he hits the 6f marker in 1:08.2 ... his pace has slowed ... and the field closes in ...

... can he put it back in gear down the stretch ...

... will he draw off and win in hand ... or just hold on under a stiff drive ... or ...

... (gasp!) will he pull a Lost In The Fog ... and crack like a British breakfast egg?

Look closely and you'll see the Shoe is in the irons, he's just been saving his mount for the stretch drive, watch the Tiger pull away in deep stretch!

I like DiMarco in this spot. Steady.

Sidebar:

It looks as if Vijay's best days are behind him.

He's had some remarkable years ... and rose to #1 world ranking ... but he doesn't seem to be able to get it together anymore.

Is this the slow twilight of a great career?

This is gonna be great!!!!!!! I'm all keyed up (actually when am I not keyed up?) to watch this final round!!! All those players so close together, get tied on.

Eagle on 5......my man is simply awesome.

Best thing about the British Open??? None of those stupid drunks yelling and screaming "You Da Man!!!"
