Good for Sergio if he wins, it must suck to shoulder the expectations he's carried since Medinah in '99, particularly when a whole country is counting on you to deliver.

I've felt that he's gotten a free pass from the "Best Player to Never..." kind of media scrutiny compared to what Phil got.

Something really weird has to happen for him to lose and I don't see it-- switching to a belly putter takes out the old formula where he'd get nervy putting and put pressure on the rest of his game. He's also played well enough to reduce the field.

Mike [Weir] (-2) and The Mechanic (-2) teeing off at 8:20 EDT. 7 strokes off the pace, tough conditions... all they need is a miracle?

Those are some nasty playing conditions. I agree if Els hadn't had that triple that he'd be in very good shape to make a run at the Claret Jug.

They both have early bogeys on the scorecard.

Needed to get something on the par 5.

Edit- Ugh, and now bogey.

Ok, I'll go to sleep for a couple hours.

I was going to stay up and watch him tee off see if he would get some awesome round going. Thank god I didn't. I was really thinking Tiger would pull off some miracle around, 64, 63 today. What wishful thinking.

I hope Ernie wins.
