Would like to see Weir,WWood,or Harrington win this,but Choi is the most confident.Hate to take him,because he has already won twice this year.I'll take him,and hope I am wrong.

I take Steve Stricker at 125-1. He has been playing well. After watching Sergio play just a few holes today he still has zero confidence and will not win this championship

Nice crystal ball wiphan. 64 today...wow.

Sergio looked pretty damn good today.....was a textbook round....anxious to see what he does tomorrow....

Sergio has had the lead 9 times after 54 holes and won 5 of them in his career. Yet he is known as a choke. I dont think that record is that bad at all. Maybe he had huge leads on the last day... have to look that up.

Now that same statistic is UnGodly for Woods. But Garcia aint Woods.

I appreciate great golf...and I give the kid props...he has played BRILLIANTLY thus far. His round today was tons better than I ever imagined it would be. Will be interested to see how he fairs tomorrow. I have been hard on him in the past, as he has shown no heart when it matters in the majors. He has a chance to put to rest some serious doubt about his game under pressure. In all honesty...I hope he plays his ass off and wins by 5 or more.

All I can tell ya is we watch a lot of golf,and(with his talent...tee to green) he should have won 3 times as many tournaments than he has.With Tiger not being up there pressuring him,he will probably win it,but I wouldn't count on him to do anything.Won't surprise me if he is +3 the 1st 3 or 4 holes.A lot of it depends on whether somebody can get to 2 shots within him by the time he tees off.
