I even have to mention that I failed to see this coming. I suppose it's GREAT, it's INCREDIBLE, it is GREAT THEATER... However I didn't see it coming. Sergio and Tiger will be paired inside the very last institution today, separated by way of a unmarried stroke.
After Sergio grew to become in the quality spherical of the day -- a 7-under sixty five -- and Tiger grew to become in a second 67, it turned into a accomplished deal. The route became treacherous whilst the wind came up in the afternoon, and proper ratings had been tougher to come back through.
But this is interesting for several reasons. Sergio is playing some of the best golf he's played in quite some time -- getting all areas of his game working at once, that is -- making 6 birdies in 7 holes Friday. And Tiger is 6 shots better than he's ever been at the halfway mark of THE PLAYERS. Even when he won.
Even higher, Lee Westwood (with that cool little goatee he's grown) will be within the 2d-to-final organization with Kevin Chappell, only one stroke behind Tiger.
And here's the kicker: Bad weather is headed for Sawgrass. Thunderstorms and wind, folks... thunderstorms and wind.
Oh, this has the potential to be a great day of golf. NBC's coverage begins at 2pm ET. I can't wait!!!
