Just.. wow.

Tiger's final 6 holes yesterday were out of this world, especially that monster eagle putt, but that last putt just summed it all up.

18 hole play-off tomorrow now, Tiger sunk a 15 foot putt at the last to get there with Rocco Mediate, and I think it's going to be awesome to watch.

Pretty good going considering he's been limping around for 4 days! :eek:
 
That was a great putt from Woods and the end of the round, somehow you just knew he was going to make it. Bit of a shame for Westwood as he played very solid golf all the way through the 4 days but today he missed a few birdy chances and played a very strange shot on the 13th (which Woods decided he liked the look of and followed him out of bounds:p), which meant he was playing catch up for the rest of the day.

I'm probably going to miss the end tomorrow as I have an exam on Tuesday morning :(.
 
Woods' driving hasn't been brilliant. His approach shots and putting have been phenomenal though. He'll probably win it by 3 shots.
 
It was commendable that Woods was still in contention after his drives yesterday, let alone taking the lead into the final day. Some of them were truely awful.
 
Best sportsman in the world when it comes to clutch moments in sport.

Would have bet the shirt on my back that he would have made that putt
 
Really hope he can get round today without any long-term damage. I just wish he'd play within himself for a change as he's still streets ahead of the rest without his driver as proved by how he plays links gold in the Open.
 
hate the US open being an 18 hole play off - complete anti climax and in woods' case this year NOT what he was looking for i bet!

Also bet of the day is +3.5 shots in the handicapp for Mediate. Woods will win but not by more than a shot or two.
 
Woods 1 up after 1, Mediate almost aces the second and Tiger sticks it deep in the bunker.

Mediate 1 up after 2, he birdies, Tiger bogeys.

Mediate still 1 up thru 4.

Hole 5 - Woods on the green in 2, Mediate bunkers his tee shot, second shot goes way left, hits a path, bounces over the crowd, hits another path and ends up MILES away from the hole.

Hole 6 - Longest Par 4 in US open history, and guess what? Tiger gets to within 8ft and birdies, Mediate hit right of the green, but a nice approach shot and putt makes him par. Tiger 1 up thru 6.

Hole 7 - Tiger gains another shot with another birdie, Mediate pars.

Hole 8 - Tiger makes a total hash of his tee shot, hits the green and straight into the bunker. His bunker shot rolls off, next to Mediate's ball, where he bogeys, Mediate pars.

beat me to it! - even with 4 to go!! drama to the end here! Thought Rocco was dead and buried when 3 behind - woods is playing shockingly bad
 
Woods playing shockingly bad is the equivalent to everyone else playing very well. He managed to come runner up at Augusta playing some of the worst golf I've ever seen him play.

Can't see anything past a Woods win today but you never know. Last night was great to watch. Greatest sportsman ever in my opinion.
