I predict a 76 from Mickelson.

LOL at a driver on a par 3.  Of course using a driver on a par 3, and getting it to 3 inches is pretty impressive.

I hate to keep posting about my friend, but he played with Bubba and Adam Scott today. He said both guys were extremely nice.

He also said that Stevie was very nice to him all day. That was a surprise to me because I thought Stevie was a total a hole from everything that I've heard. He's actually playing with Scott again tomorrow.

As for the tournament I'm definitely pulling for Stricker. He seems like the nicest guy and every time he wins he shows it. It would be a great story.

Who is your friend, Gavin?  Keep posting; I think it's a great story!  You should roll with him to one of his tournaments if you get a chance.  That would be a blast to see how the week goes for a pro, and you might even get to play some golf with some other pros.

 

I'm rooting for Stricker now too.  I have Horshel and Donald left on my fantasy team.  I'm impressed with Tiger this week.  Playing (and not withdrawing) in obvious pain is showing me that his character is growing, and he understands his role in the game (to play with maturity, and as a role-model).

[gotbeer]

Ouch.  Stricker just blew up.  Nate could have hit that fairway shot better.  

[DW711]

What the hell has happened to Steve Stricker?

 

8th in fairways..out of bounds

 

easy lay up..shank.

[nate]

Sorry guys... Stricker asked me to take a couple shots for him.

[DW711]

well, at least he made triple.

[gotbeer]

2 ob's.  And he still shoots an 8.  Means he birdied the hole with 4 penalty shots.  Impressive.

[DW711]

This course looks like absolute death.

 

I can't believe three players havent 3 putted, yet.

[DW711]

Phil should just put with his wedge.

[gotbeer]

Safe to say, if you gave me 100 tries on that shot Phil had in the bunker.  Don't think I can repeat what Phil just did.

It's just un real. Downhill lie. Bad stance. Two feet and almost goes in.

[gotbeer]

Phil should just put with his wedge.

 

 

He should have.

[xboom28x]

Phil is doing his best not to win today. He should realize that no one is putting up good scores ahead of him. a 70 from him would win this tournament by a couple of strokes

[xboom28x]

... except Dufner

[nate]

That didn't take long.  Phil's road to 76 being paved early.

 

Amazingly, Dufner -5 through 12...  Lot of tough holes left but that is seriously impressive.

[gotbeer]

That's a brass balls shot there by Phil.

[nate]

It was nice while it lasted for Dufner.

[gotbeer]

Does anyone want to win today?

[nate]

The course is winning.

[xboom28x]

Looks like Jason Day does

[nate]

Lol @ that Ian Poulter commercial.

 

Day looking good out there.  He has come close at a couple majors.  Wouldn't mind seeing him break through.

[nate]

Wow... Day looking clutch.

[fan_since79]

EAGLE on the 10th for Mickelson to take the lead!!

[Angel Oracle]

Eagle chip in for Lefty!
