Update: The last group is through 10. Three-way tie for the lead at 1-under: Westwood, Woods, Mediate. Ogilvy made a bit of charge, but wasted it with two shaky holes after. He's a +2. Els has been striking it great all day but not making any putts. He's at +2.
Update II: And Tiger takes the lead with a birdie at 11.
Update III: Els is done with a triple at 15. He was in thick rough for his second shot, advanced the ball just a few yards. Third stroke, got it out of the rough but hit a tree not too far ahead, ball dropped down right next to the tree trunk. Triple. Hey, I've done that!
Update IV: Rocco takes the lead. Mediate birdied the 267-yard par-4 14th while Tiger was bogeying the par-5 13th after a terrible hook into a terrible spot. So Rocco 2-under, Tiger 1-under.
Update V: Rocco one shot ahead through 16, the only golfer under par at 1-under. Woods and Westwood at even par after Tiger bogied 15.

what a guy...
...how much nicer can he be – spotting the field 7 shots on the first hole
"this ball will fit in that fairway"
the knee
The way Tiger’s wincing today, I wonder if he won’t play again until the British Open. Probably pull out of the Buick Open in two weeks. Would he skip his own AT&T National the following week? He sure looks to be in a lot of pain.
it may be a while
I’m always surprised when doctors say that a golfer’s knee can be ready to go in just a couple of months. Football players are told a year for ACL surgery – and it’s never that fast – it’s almost always a 2 year process. Sure, they are ready to go, as long as “go” means just walking.
You have to think that he’ll be visiting the surgeon later this week once the swelling goes down. The Buick has to be off the board – and his AT&T seems iffy with Tiger’s concentration on majors. I’m picturing Tiger in an apron, cooking steaks on the back deck of the clubhouse – playing Host there and letting the knee heal for the British.

well - they're consistent
Dan Hicks – “Arnold probably came out of his seat, maybe.” This guy really talks too much.
Johnny Miller has brought out his greatest announcing gift – his amazing talent for 20/20 hindsight analysis.
Do these guys know how many English majors cringe every time they open their mouths ? (what did I do with those Tums ?)
