I kind of expected him to win since he played well Friday and got into
position. But I'm glad there are many guys close to him and it's not a
run-away. With that many people close, there's a chance one or two of
them will be hot tomorrow and make things interesting. :)

It's unlikely that stat will last forever... maybe tomorrow is the day?

But, he is playing so well, if he contiues that level of play, it will
take a near miracle round by someone to beat him. At least it isn't a
run-a-way yet. :)

Could be.

I think it all depends on the weather.


If there are radical weather changes, someone that goes out early might nip
him--I doubt it.

If the winds kick up and Donald can hit knock down shots better than Tiger,
he can beat Tiger. The forecast if for the winds to calm as the day goes on.

Who plays better as the day dries out and the fairways and greens get harder
and faster?

The winner.

That's the thing. Tiger can be beaten; he loses almost three out of
four tournaments he plays. But he can't be beaten when he's playing
well, and if he's leading after three rounds, he's playing well. Bad
news for the field is that his driving has improved as the tournament
has progressed. If he drives well, he'll win --- unless Donald gets
through the round with about 23 putts.

Forecast calls for more sun, less humidity, and dwindling winds as the day
progresses.

Faster fairways and faster greens.

The faster greens equate to more break.

Who will adjust the quickest?

The winner.

Tiger stands a good chance of winning, but there are several in hot
pursuit, some showing real potential.

That is real encouraging, to see such *new* talent being displayed.

Not as crowded as Fri night.

If you consider 11 for 11 when in the lead in a major after 54 holes, it
appears there is no one home(no crowd).

Seconds ago Tiger took the outright lead with 3 holes left. If he
stays, bet on him to win it. He has yet to relinquish a lead in a
major going into the last day.
