Tiger Watch 2012

Robert Rock is one stroke ahead, but there are 3 players T2, Paul Lawrie, McIlroy and Tiger.

A race right until the end... Gripping stuff.

Good to see Tiger is fighting again to win. No matter what is the final result.
Me going out to dinner, will follow the news u guys post closely. GO TIGER!!!!!!

This is exciting!! Still anybody's game!

Hole 14, Tiger found greenside bunker while Robert is on the green.

Tiger out of the bunker coolly and close to the pin. Robert on his birdie putt.... and MAKES IT.

Gap back to 2. Up and down like a roller coaster.

Robert has hit 11/14 GIR so far.

Tiger so far has hit only 3/14 greens, and somehow is still fighting, 2 behind.

Tiger is running out of holes .. 2 down and 3 holes to play

Hole 16, Tiger finds the rough again. He has only hit 2 fairways so far today.

I know how you FEEL bro.

Look at McDowell bouncing his approach shot off the grandstand for a birdie putt at the final hole and moving into T2 as well.

Amazing.

Robert hit a cracking 5 iron approach shot to birdie range from the fairway, Tiger smashed out of the rough to the left edge of the green for a long putt.

Robert is looking cool and calm.

Yes, I did. McDowell bunker shot was long over the green and hit the grandstand Hahaha

Robert Rock does not made mistake .. great player and keeping really cool playing side by side with Tiger.

Btw, in hole 16. when Tiger ball was still on the apron, he went to pick up something on the green. Does he allow to do that ?

Tiger makes the tricky come backer for par.

Robert makes birdie, and he is 3 shots clear with 2 holes to play. Looking good for him.

Green yes, fringe no. That's why Rory called a 2-shot penalty on himself on day 2.

Hole 17, Robert on the fairway, Tiger in the left rough.

Can't win when you can't find the fairway on a course like this.

Tiger's swing has improved tremendously, but Day 4 some of the old swing flaws came out. The outcome today appears to suggest he needs more work on his swing with his coach. And also spend some time on the short game; the feel for chipping and pitching was not his usual sharpness today.

With a birdie at the last, Rory has climbed to 2nd place on his own, 2 shots behind Robert.

He will rue the mistake that cost him the 2-shot penalty on day 2.

Hole 18, Robert's tee shot went to where McIlroy's was yesterday.

Tiger is still pulling his tee shots to the left rough.

I think Tiger's driver is all over the place and the main culprit of him not being able to score birdie since second shot are either from bunker or the deep deep rough...

Looks like Robert will be facing another Rory situation, with an option to aim at the 9th fairway because he is blocked by a cactus if he tries to hit it normally.

The story is not over yet. It might be a play off w Rory or Rory might still win.

Robert finally decides to take an unplayable drop way back, and playing for a 5 or 6 for this hole.

And finds the fairway close to the green despite a camera going off.

Tiger hitting from the rough, finds the rough again near the grandstands at the green. Been the story of his entire round today.

Yes, I agree. He has been scrambling all day, and all things considered, not too bad. Imagine if he was in control of his swing like yesterday, man...

Wow, hoping to see a playoff between Robert n Rory

Robert on the green in 4 after taking that drop. If he 2-putts, he will win by 1.
