Well,yeah, you're from Idaho.The bar is pretty low there(as far as what qualifies as competition,or entertainment.)Once he gets part of the lead,then that's it for the competition aspect.Then it's like a Broadway Show or something.You know the outcome,but you want to see how it differs from the way you've seen it performed previously.It's limited entertainment,but so was that piece of crap "LIL HOUSE ON THE PRARIE." Somehow they made money with that,too.

No in all actuality I am not from Idaho, I am from Ohio. I live in Idaho. There are really no bars here either from what I can tell. I don't call Sunday's tournament not entertaining. He trailed by 1 going in, he still trailed early on the back nine by one to Stricker, and he kept making birdies....birdie after birdie. He shot 63. When the two leaders shoot 66 and 68 I wouldn't call that a lack of competition...call me crazy.

Believe it or not, when we turn on a TV in Idaho and watch a baseball game or golf tournament, the exact same picture comes over that screen as what you are watching. Absolutely amazing how that works!!!

Have a damn potato.

And funny enough scuds...I saw him have part of the lead or the actual lead on Sunday at both the Masters and US Open, and at the end of the day I saw Zach Johnson and Angel Cabrera with trophies...so I'm not sure how exactly is it over when Tiger gets part of a lead??

Do u have any doubts that this tournament is over? Tiger shot a 63 today and leads by three going into the weekend. He's something like 29-6 when he has a lead or a share of it after 36 holes. Talk about anti-climactic. He's magical to watch when he's going like this. That's why I say he's exciting and boring at the same time. It's exciting to see just how well he's going to do but boring because u are only watching him. U aren't watching to see the tournament because that's basically over. If he should happen to lose, it's because he lost, not because anyone else beat him.

What's hilarious to me is this guy thinking Stricker,or Baddeley was gunna be able to hang in there with Tiger.Maybe if Tiger was 2 or 3 behind going into the back 9,but not when he is already 4 or 5 under on the round,and tied with them. Come on now.

You are unable to answer me. I am right as always and you are wrong. I made a statement that Woods held a lead or a share of the lead on Sunday this year at both the Masters and US Open and won neither of them, refuting your statement that when he gets a lead then that's it for the competition aspect. Maybe your memory is only 2 weeks capacity perhaps. You wrote that. You are wrong. Dead wrong. I am right. End of story. Never let facts get in the way of your nonsense scuds. I am the fact man. I know what the facts are. I brought up two cases this year where he didn't win WITH the lead or a share on SUNDAY...(in two of the biggest tourneys of the year.) Zach Johson and Angel Cabrera evidently didn't get your memo that when Tiger gets a part of the lead that's it.

go back to school and come back when you are minimal competition for me. If you want to continue to make sport of me because I live in Idaho or whatever other nonsense you want that is fine. As far as sports go, your knowledge compared to mine is quite minimal as I said. I'll take you to the woodshed time and time again.

HE's the best in the world, perhaps the best ever, and when he is at his best he won't lose. He in fact however lost two of the biggest tourneys in the world this year with a lead on the last day when you said that never happens. So come now...who's really the hilarious one here??? !!!! End of story.

YEs, they still have two days to play. the tourney won't end til sunday. In all liklihood he will win without question. He is playing well right now. His putter could go south, he could start getting wild. NO it is not over however. I would say his chances are well above 50 percent, but not 100 percent by any means.

In the end scuds, he's Tiger Woods. You made fun of Idaho though, I gotta fight back on that one!! I'm not gonna take that lying down...even when I'm picking potatoes out of the ground (that's all we do here, so I guess I really didn't watch that Masters this year!!). It's pretty easy for me to catch any looselessness with any facts as they exist and facts are pretty easy to look up today with the internets and all that stuff. Even potato pickers have internets and TV antennas!!

Today was so exciting that I forgot to watch. This was a forgone conclusion after Friday.
