18 was a clinic.

Wouldn't be surprised to see -21 or better.

Agree. I think he keeps his foot on the pedal tomorrow. He's proven he's not afraid to win by big margins. Scary to think how talented he really is.

If Sergio makes that 2 foot birdie on Sat., and doesn't leave it in the bunker yesterday....



Seriously though, that was a pretty tame Open in terms of the wind and weather.

I'm giving Tiger a pass on this one. I think he'll get better the more he plays.

I am done giving him a pass, he has gotten one every time since 2009. He had a very promising 1st round

When you have a target on your back for as many years as he did, it's inevitable that you breed a whole generation of guys aiming to be better than you. Is he still capable of being elite?! You bet he is, or at leadt in my opinion he is. Is he head and shoulders dominant above others?! No, and those days are behind him. The same people who think that probably thought Mike Tyson was still in his prime after the Peter Mcnally fight.
