C'mon its not Tiger blog, its a commentary on his performance. Following Tiger's score alerts from trackle.com. I want him on top of leaderboard. Can he do it?

Wait! travis you said you don't read Tiger blogs. LOL
The way you said that, other than wearing red, is the way the Phil Worshippers have been at
Bethpage all day for their Lord Phil.
But as always you are the only who can be right on. :) Happy blogging master

As per usual G C ---FOA As Always

Like you too, our Master Blogger.

Tiger does not have to worry about catching the no-names at the top of the leader board. They will come back to him. Mickelson, Weir, and Goosen are the ones that could win the tournament and he is not that far behind them. This Barnes guy will fold like Phil Hellmuth with a duece ten. Should be some drama between the contenders and the pretenders disappear.

should have been "as the pretenders disappear."

#6 / Can agree somewhat. I don't think Tiger will win. I think Phil will start his normal errant shots and be lucky to finish in the top 5. I would like to see Barnes win it, a new name in the major win list.

Tiger had his chances but couldn't capitalize...I feel he needed to get to -1 by the end of round 3 and he didn't...so he must now grab 5 shots on the front 9 to make some noise to scare any pretenders...It could happen but it is improbable...
Duval would be a great story...Mickelson would be more probable.
I just can't make any predictions...this has been a very strange tourney and still feel there is gonna be more crazy things to happen before this thing is all over...

I think I agree with Myrtle and Paul. Say the two leaders shoot 75 to finish at -3 and -2. Then the question is will the next group (Duval and others) shoot par to "catch" Barnes? And can Tiger shoot 66? Crazy as it sounds, there's still a halfway believable scenario where Tiger can win.

1. Glover
2. Barnes
3. Weir
4. Duval
5. Phil
I don't think Tiger will win, Never Say Never, he can finish in the top 10 but he doesn't seem to be focused
like he normally is.

aww poor travis, maybe a phil fan that doesnt appreciate TRUE greatness, there are few stories worth headlining on the Tour so why not focus on the biggest star athlete in the entire universe. barnes needs to get rid of that frickin hat and collapse, mickelson or mahan will pull it out.

greg s / another sick moron

I didn't realize the outfits were scripted in advance by Nike.
Barnes has been on the bogey train for the last few holes...Glover just tied him up on the 1st hole of the 4th round. Curious to see if Phil is able to make a move - his putter has not been his friend in the 4th round.

There are three different reds that seem to be important here, and Tiger's shirt color is the least of them. Whatever color shirt he wears, if he is not in red figures in the open, then the network will be. His importance to the tour cannot be overestimated. The minute he is not in contention the ratings plummet like GM's stock. And no wonder given the group of also rans that populate the tour these days. To his credit Phil is still a draw and if he were in contention in a major it would keep a lot of eyeballs on the tube or the LCDs. But after that there are serious problems. P. Harrington is a very good golfer but he is about as exciting as a pound of wet leather. Mike Wier is a nice guy but he is a Canadian.
Sweet but dull! Sergio has personality but no game, sorry. VJ is just an out and out jerk. Maybe he could win on the women's tour, nevermind he doesn't believe in mixing the genders. Boo Weekley is kinda cool but almost never contends. Geoff Ogilvy is the most boring Australian I have ever seen, good golfer I guess. I thought Zack Johnson had some spunk and might help, but that never materialized and so far he's not even that great. Remember when
there was Jack, Arnie, Tom, Lee, Johnny, Gary, Ray, etc. I hope Tiger keeps winning for another decade or the tour is going to be relegated to the Golf Channel full time.

Tiger is now on the first page, that overwhelming sound you hear is called CHOKING.
LOL

It all depends on what Barnes and Glover do. If they shoot 70 or 71 it will be very difficult for anyone to overtake them. I think 6 under wins. Tiger is now on the first page of the leaderboard. They will hear his roar tomorrow. Phil will make a charge,too. This is gonna be great to watch.

I have thought for a long time that it would be really funny if ALL the golfers came on a Sunday wearing a red shirt..just for laughs

macpilot3...what universe are you from??? you can't be from ours since you don't know what the date is...VJ,Zach,Paddy and Boo went MC...everything else you offer up for conversation sounds so alien...are you a red martian???

Almost, Vijay is still in but way back there, T-40 at +7

I bet the kitchen that not only will Tiger be on the first page of the leader board by the end but he really has a good chance to win. Both of the "rook's" at the top will succumb to the pressure and slowly but surely come back to Tiger!
BANK ON IT!!!

go get them ricky// dwayne b {stockton,ca}

Absolutely correct Kaiya.

So many of you see Barnes struggle and you assume it is Tiger causing them to choke. It is pressure to win, you try too hard, you try to direct the ball instead of hit it and you get in trouble. Several weeks back a tournament had no Phil and no Tiger and still the leaders stumbled. Tiger's choke factor is over rated. It is more about knowing how to win than choking, and the fact that Tiger does not make mistakes, rather than others choking. tiger is just there to take advantage of their mistakes. Phil, Tiger, Duval, Barnes, Mahan, Glover, and a few others could get hot and win it. Or we may have a playoff again on Tuesday.

Tiger's special shirt...what's next Tiger's special underwear? Give me a freaking break!
