I used to find golf about as exciting as watching paint dry. Then I got into the game, and now I can appreciate the skill and stategy that goes into it. Plus, there's no guaranteed money (sponsorships notwithstanding). If you go out and
stink up the course, you go home early.

I Agree, Jeff! Most People Who Can't Stand The Game Have Never Played It. I Have A Drink Bet With My Buddy Who Thinks Tiger Won't Finish In The Top 10. I Think That's Safe For Me!

And now the other part of Tiger's game comes into play - intimidation. Except for a select few (and you can count the number of them on one hand), the rest of the field is thinking "after all the crap that has happened, and being off for five months, and three bogies today, he's only 2 strokes back - crap".

So True! Tiger Always Has The Intimidation Factor On His Side. Like It Or Not, He Is "The" Most "Mentally Tough" Player Out There. Should Be An Interesting Weekend!

Today it looks like the course has awakened. So far not much movement except for higher scores. Staying at par seems to be a victory. I am still cheering for Tiger since I go by Barkley's comment years ago that he is an athlete and not a role model. I want Tiger just to see that a*hole chairman who called him out in public for being a poor role model have to give him the trophy. Otherwise I could easily live with either Watson or Couples hanging in there.

Tiger is the best player in the world. He was a role model whether he wanted to be or not. Its not his choice. With his status, comes some responsibility. Im not saying he is going to be perfect. But come on, the guy is a loser after what he did. Don't we have to draw a line in the sand somewhere? I don't accept his apology, and I will not fall into the media's love appeal for him. I know there are people that think athletes life's should be kept private. But Im sorry that is just not going to happen. Tiger Woods will always be a loser in my eyes, and I know the majority of golf fans

Tiger's intimidation factor is not what it used to be. He has proven to be beatable and the few tour players that have the walnuts to say so have said it. I don't think Anthony Kim would back down from a Tiger run. Y. E. Yang didn't last year at the Open (or was it the PGA?).
