Interesting thing here is that Tiger and Strickland are playing Adam Scott and KJ Choi. Steve Williams (racist buck toothed nut bag) used to be Tigers caddie. IIIIIIIIIIIIInteresting.
down 5 thru 9. Uh oh. Either way, it's 3-3 right now so. Tiger generally plays best in singles anyway so we'll wait til Sunday but he's been playing like crap period. Bubba Watson is killing it though. Gotta love a guy named Bubba. Tomorrow's matches and coverage are bumped up 2 hours also in anticipation of bad weather!
Funny that Norman keeps pairing Tiger Woods and Adam Scott. Maybe getting in Tigers head a little bit on these days? Tiger keeps showing flashes of the Tiger we all know and love but I think his brain keeps getting in the way. Bubba and Webb are spanking Allenby and Ogilvy.
