Kuala Lumpur is hot AND sticky, so the leaders are stuck together so tight you can barely tell 'em apart!
As I'm writing this, Tiger is two returned of Bo Van Pelt's lead at -16. Bo is -nine after 12 holes at the same time as Tiger's -five after 9 holes. There are 10 players within 4 photographs and 15 inside 5 photographs. The scoring is insane, as there are a big wide variety of gamers who are -5, -6, and -7 for the day.
The exciting factor to me is that both Tiger and Bo ultimately appear to be hitting on all cylinders. It's no longer that they performed badly in the sooner rounds; they simply hadn't regarded in particular sharp. That seems to be converting nowadays. (Of path, Saturday in Kuala Lumpur is late Friday in the US.)
By comparison, the LPGA is in Yang Mei, Taiwan where it appears to be pretty hot -- though not nearly as hot as Kuala Lumpur -- but definitely NOT sticky. And, perhaps understandably, the field isn't sticking together either.
As it stands whilst I'm writing, Suzann Pettersen (-12), Inbee Park (-eleven), and Yani Tseng (-eleven) are separating themselves from the field inside the 0.33 spherical. The news here is that Yani seems to be on her manner to a few sub-70 rounds for the primary time in months.
It looks as if the celebrities on each tours have been prepared for a bit action... However possibly the PGA Tour professionals desired it a chunk extra. Tiger had stated earlier within the week that, given the conditions and if the course were installation with reasonable pins, someone -- perhaps several someones -- might ruin 60. Bo is formally on fifty nine watch -- he wishes to get to -11 to do this -- and until his game deserts him, that may be the big news by the point you read this.
And if Bo does it, he may also prove that being sticky ain't so awful in the end.
