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.

Kev, do you think somewhere in the back of a lot of player's minds they may be thinking if he goes out tomorrow and shoots 2 or 3 under and wins by 6, it may stir up that sleeping giant....

Stricker played real well today and made me look good. He has come a long way back. As a Wisconsin native I am very familiar with his game. He has played exceptionally well this year, but has never won a major. Sergio looked good today, but I am sure the pressure will get to him tomorrow and we will see the Sergio of old.

I think Sergio will win this one. Stricker isn't exactly known as a closer and the next closest after him are 6 back. I don't think Stricker has won a stroke play event in over 10 years. Garcia will have to shoot worse than 72 to lose this one...not that he can't do that!!

Sam...it very easily could and it wouldn't surprise me if it did. His talent level has always been there...it his heart I have always questioned. If he wins today, the floodgates could open and he can begin to win in bunches.

They are playing in some steady drizzle this morning so far.

He sure looks great so far, hope he plays well today

On the other side, If he does not win today-or plays bad, he will never win a major. Golf is all about confidence, and right now he's got it. Just one more hurdle, playing well on a Sunday

If SG falters, I pick ELS!

I certain someone is -2 thru 5 holes. If that person begins to inch his way closer and closer....anything can happen.
