We'll see if he can bounce back from that on the 8th. Should have had a putt for a birdie and the lead and instead he drops a shot.

Terrible bogey on 8, one of the easiest holes in the world.  Have to think Tiger is regretting his decision to play

He's only 3 back, his victory all but assured at this point.  The field hasn't even started quaking and crumbling from his presence yet.  Given the reaction this week, I expect a minimum of -3 from Amen Corner today

Tiger shoots 71 despite super soft conditions.  How he didn't go lower will probably haunt him all weekend

Tiger with a solid -1 for the day. He will only get better from here . Tomorrow lots of wind which plays to his ball striking strength .

Continue to have confidence Tiger will be in contention in the back nine on Sunday

Only "in contention"? Oh ye of little faith to not say he'll win by at least 5 strokes!!

Seriously, even throwing out the accident and injuries, scoring -1 after a 500-day layoff at age 46 is pretty darn good.

Well, he obviously wasn't as impressive as you and I usually are on the course, but I thought he did ok.

With as soft and windy as it was and what an advantage it gives him, anything less than a 62 was bad IMO

It's playing longer because of all the rain but the greens are still running fast, so longer shots into really hard greens.  Can tell guys are confused by the speed based on how many are missing the entire hole on some short putts.  They'll get harder tomorrow with the wind and be hard Saturday because of the cold weather.  "Soft" conditions will be gone the next two days.  Be surprising to see anyone run away the next few days.  Sunday looks pristine

Well I see that my pick, Cameron Smith, doubled the 1st and the 18th!!  WTF?  Inexcusable.  :)

18 was sloppy.  Bad tee shot, punch out, weak approach, real bad 3-putt

He was flushing it for a good stretch

That's his game.  He's capable of hitting darts and is usually a great putter.  It's like archery golf.

I was very impressed by Joaquin Niemann. The young guy really hits the ball well and he can shape his shots high/low and left/right. Will be interesting to see if he can put together another good round tomorrow.

nieman can be quietly sneaky good.  watching hovland and zalatoris.  waiting for patrick to bust out of his slump

+2 projected cut line  wouldn't be surprised to see that go to +3

Reed? Slump? His big money deal with the PXG driver is what is holding him back.

The early players could have a big advantage today.  The wind is supposed to really pick up.
