    A lot depends on how the USGA sets the course up for the playoff. If they stretch it back out to 7600, edge to TW. If they keep it in the 7200-7300 range, edge to TW decreases. I thought they had some fair pin placements yesterday. Will be interesting to see where the flags are today.

    Tiger made some questionable decisions yesterday on club selection, particularly a couple of tee shots. Totally out of character and the results weren't good.

    And of course the biggest ? is the status of his knee? Whatever he took/was injected with appeared to work after a few holes. Will be interesting to see how it holds up today.

    Should be a good match.

    I know Rocco is a happy-go-lucky kinda guy, but he will relive those 2 short putts on the back nine that he botched for the rest of his life should he lose today. Those were pretty much gimmies.

    There are no gimmies on US Open greens. Particularly on Sunday afternoon.

    I assume everyone realizes that Tiger is the only golfer in the world who would have made that putt on 18.

    You are probably right, but if he makes decisions like he made yesterday, he will be in trouble.

    Some of his tee shots, the club selections, deciding to lay up on that hole with about 100 yrds to the flag.

    He didnt seem himself.

    Tiger gets par on first hole, Rocco got a bogey.

    Tiger deep into bank of bunker on third hole. Rocco bareley missed hole in 1. Ball rolled a couple inches to right of hole, slowly. He'll have a birdie here.

    Tiger with a one shot lead, through 6. He's at even par.

    Tiger Woods has played Phil Mickelson golf all week.

    He hits some,e of the greatest shots in golf and then, like he just did on nine, chunk a bunker shot short of the green...Ive never seen Tiger give so many shots away this week.

    Rocco +2
