26/36 greens hit
25/28 fairways hit

With only one bogie that means he got up and down 9 of 10 times over 36 holes.

Check out the stat of "How many first day leaders end up winning the masters?" ;) GET IN THE HOLE! GO TIGER!

I think it's been done a few times. But hitting fairways at Augusta is always important so if he can keep that up he'll have a shot at it.

Looks like scoring is better today. A LOT of players in the red.

I heard that. :p

Yeah, Tiger swears a lot... on a previous hole, he mouthed "Are you f***ing kidding me?!?"

Comedy.

On another note, do the announcers need a tissue for how much they're sucking on Tiger's dick right now? They can't stop gushing about every shot he makes....

I know he's awesome and all, but seriously, there are 30 other golfers out there making good shots, and some playing better than Tiger right now...

Get used to it...that's always the case when Tiger is in the tournament. Look at the bottom line on ESPN or wherever...they show the top 5-10...then have an extra line for woods. It's ridiculous but it isn't going anywhere.

If he finishes within 3 of the leader, it'll hopefully make for an exciting final Sunday. I left the TV when he birdied to get to -4 and the leader was at -8...not too far off.

63 Nick Price, third round, 1986
63 Greg Norman, first round, 1996

Someone got owned ;). Doesn't look like Tiger is going to do it today. He's still in the hunt though. Snedeker is imploding.

There's still a lot of holes left for the leaders. Not many numbers in the red being put up today and the pressure may get to them. Phil/Tiger may just be lurking around and might just get some birdies on the finishing holes. Lot of golf left.

I hope he doesn't drag down Immelman.

Woods looks to be out of holes, he can't win it. He needs the other guys to hand it to him.

Tiger had his chances and missed a few easy putts, unusual for him. He could easily be 8 under and right in it. Alas that's not the case. And I don't see immelman losing that many strokes, he's made some great par saves when he needed them. Could have been a LOT different than what the leaderboard shows.

And what golf tournament doesn't that apply to? The best player won, period. Immelman has dominated start to finish.

Damn, Flesch has imploded. Lost 5 strokes over 4 holes :roll:

Thanks for the info about the putts etc. I'm at work and can only check the scoreboard.

EDIT: Ho wthe h3ll did Immelman double bogey 16? What he do, hit it in the water?

Immelman is in trouble with two holes left. In the bunker on 17 - not a good place to be.

Fern - yes, in the water. Hitting 3 from drop zone then two putt.
