Tiger finished with 3 birdies in his last 6 holes. He is an even for the tournament. He has an outside shot at a top 5 finish, but will have to go really low tomorrow. Probably a 63.

Interestingly, Mickelson also finished at even par. At this time, that means, depending on the how and when everyone finishes, they could be paired together tomorrow. It might be the impetus one (or both) of them needs to get out their funk.

Tiger and Lefty are in the same pairing. Lefty has 3 birdies and a bogey in 8 holes.

Tiger is stinking up the joint (+3) after 8 holes. Unless he plays one of the 3rd tier events later this year, this will be his last PGATour tournament of the year in the USA. He is scheduled to play in China and then Australia.

He will probably play in the Chevron Challenge the weekend after Thanksgiving. I wonder why he skipped last year?

Pavin said Tiger may not get full play in the Ryder Cup. He may be benched for some of the events. Hows that for dropping in stature?

Think Tiger might be the [errand guy](http://sports.yahoo.com/golf/pga/news?slug=br-lateralhazard090710) for Phil, Kuchar, and Bubba at the Ryder Cup.  
Scrubini!

Can Tiger get it back?  
To paraphrase the immortal words of LT to Joe Montana, “Not today he ain’t!” 😛
