Tiger is all over the place. I don’t care if Westwood has a 4-stroke lead on Sunday-- it could still be a great day to watch golf. ---

Tiger in at -8. Phil at -11. Westwood should be -12 or -11, worst case. Hello, Sunday! ---

> [@Frank](#): > > Yeah, Tigers’s close enough to make a run. He should calm his nerves tonight, perhaps by getting laid. Ouch. He needs to get the crowds roaring tomorrow to psych out Phil and Lee. Can we start calling him Lee now? ---

Tiger and KJ are new BFFs. I swear to God that every time they say “Steve Marino” it sounds like “Steverino”. Wow, Lee gets in at -12. ---

Would you rather be paired with Tiger on Sunday or have him be one group ahead? I think It’d be worse to hear the crowd cheering ahead of you than to see him play right beside you. Three and four strokes are really big leads to overcome. Tiger’s chances can’t be better than 10%, especially considering the guys who hold those leads. ---

> [@gonzomax](#): > > Apparently 90 percent of the avid golfers ,disrespect the game. Don’t worry, I make up for the other 10%. That was a hell of a great three holes Phil had. I thought he was going to make the third as well. I’m going to pull for Westwood, hope he can pull it off. ---

If there were lots of golfers ahead of Tiger it would be a problem. At least one of them will blow up tomorrow. So Tiger just needs to knock off one. It can be done. If he starts off hot the last group will pucker a bit. ---

Tiger’s chances can’t be better than 10%, especially considering the guys who hold those leads. Mickelson is one of the premiere choke artists in all of sports, so I wouldn’t worry about him. It’s all about whether Weswood can hang in there. I think he’ll probably have to back up at least a little bit. Tiger is certainly capable of firing a 67 or 68 and running him down if he does. ---

Hey, Phil. Don’t think about that famous 4-putt you made several years ago. 😛 Yeah, and be sure to use driver on every hole, especially 18. I guess I’m one of the few folks out there who doesn’t care for Phil. ---

I don’t like him either. Just one of those viseceral, irrational things. ---

I was talking about that with the wife today. I keep hearing hints and rumors that ole Phil is not particularly well liked by a significant portion of the tour. Interestingly, they seem to like Tiger better since he doesn’t pretend to be a nice guy when the camera is on, then turn into a shit. The implication is that Phil does. ---

> [@Diogenes\_the\_Cynic](#): > > I don’t like him either. Just one of those viseceral, irrational things. His voice is irritating, and he seems kind of whiny. And that stupid smile and goofy gait. And he too often plays really stupid golf. Having said that, the guy can play. No doubt about that. But he should be a much better player. That, and the man-boobs. Gotta lose the man-boobs, Phil. **Zakalwe** : [Scroll down the page.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=518893) ---

I like Mickelson, i think he is the most enjoyable golfer to watch. But I do think this is one of best jokes about Phil (and yes it is an old joke and probably been told here before). Whats the difference between Phil and Amy Mickelson? Amy has fake tits and real smile. ---

He’s also not a real “lefty”. He’s right handed, and only plays golf left handed. ---

He’s actually lost a lot of weight (well, a lot for an athlete) over the past few years. ---

Did you know that song actually has lyrics? It does. I heard the version with the singing played on a local sports talk station yesterday.
