What a befitting tourney to win, after the months spent trying to regain his form, focus and most of all his desire to win. Tiger knew it wouldn't be easy. Afterall, try to have your most intimate details of your marriage and your life, in the news for the world to read and judge you. I don't care how big of a celebrity you are, having those details of the most private part of your life spread thoughout the media is NOT easy for anyone! I have always felt Tiger would get his win this season and so he was my pick going into this tourney and I have faith that he will WIN it on Sunday!
Tiger started the Chevron World Challenge with a first round 65. He had 8 birdies and only 1 bogey. He followed that with a round two 66; consisting of 4 birdies and an eagle to card a bogey free round. For today's round 3, Tiger shot a 68. Although he had 2 bogeys, he also had 6 birdies to go -17 under for a 4 stroke lead.
Graeme McDowell is in 2nd place at -13, followed by Paul Casey at -9 and Luke Donald at -7. Ian Poulter is also in the top 10 at -6. And, although Ian was not happy with his play today, he's vowed to come out and finish strong tomorrow.
Jim Furyk is the defending champion of this week's tourney in Thousand Oaks, California. He finished even after round one, with 2 bogeys, 1 double bogey and 4 birdies. Round two was not any better, he had a double bogey and 1 birdie to finish at +1. Today, Furyk finished at -1 and sits in 12th place and even for the tourney.
Others to watch for on Sunday, will be Bubba Watson, who is in a tie with Anthony Kim for 14th at +2. Matt Kuchar is in 16th place, followed by Camillo Villegas. Bubba had an amazing shot in Friday's round when he shot an "albatross" or double eagle on a par 5 from 284 yards out! That truly should be the "Shot of The Year"!
Tune in tomorrow on NBC from 3:00 - 6:00 pm ET for the conclusion of the final round.
Now, Go Hit Some Balls.................
