Tiger Woods
Not a bad weekend for Woods, tied for fourth as part of a field that was destroyed by a standout final round by Francesco Molinari. New putter appears to be helping.

Whatever he had before mentally is missing. And I say this as a huge Tiger Woods fan.

The putter was better overall but he seemed to miss the important putts as his pattern has been this year.

Making a charge
Tiger three strokes off the lead heading into the last round of the British Open. This looks to be about the best he's played yet.

Thought for sure he'd be 5+ back when he finished yesterday.
Not without a chance, but needs to play lights out. Haven't seen him do that in a while obviously.

Looking at his first few full swings though...., he is ready to play again today.

Bunker shot on 10 just now might be a most serious game changer. Everyone else (except the cool Molinari) is paying for their mistakes.

Not many dudes on the planet could hit that shot. Amazing.
And that is why I love watching Tiger play.

May have commented too soon, though. Pretty crazy leaderboard.

He's back....
Tiger Woods proved myself and quite a few others wrong this weekend.
Looks likely that he won't win the 2018 Open C'ship, but just being in
contention at this stage proves he still has game.
Too early to write him off completely.

I have never been a golfer yet find myself somewhat invested in Tiger's success.
Very exciting final round today.
Molinari was amazing.

Tough break on the 11th for Tiger -- still some amazing shots and a continually improving performance. Now that he appears to be back I guess I am officially a golf fan.

Not sure he'll ever be "back". I mean, at least not to the level he played at before.
He is an amazing player with supreme focus, ability, and want to.
I just love watching him play. His mannerisms. His focus. His ability to commit to each and every shot. His imagination, and then pure will to pull off greatness time and time again.
I grew up loving Nicklaus. I still have an autographed booklet when he visited Omaha, NE back in 1975. I grew up wanting to be Jack.
Tiger is just better. Hard to explain, but he is so incredible to watch when he plays.

Where I watched it (on a backside), EVERYBODY that walked by asked, "How's Tiger doing?" Grooms, trainers, stewards....NOBODY asked "Is Spieth still up?" "Where's Rory?" "Who's Xander?" "Where's Phil?" They just wanted to know about Tiger. The only thing mildly surprising was the absolute unanimity in the interest in Woods. I almost wished for their sake, as not-totally-dedicated golf observers, that he had won.
And while I appreciate the way Molinari moved around the course, I wish he had, too.
