Going to really suck if that Italian borefest beats Tiger twice in one year on the final day of a major.

I was never a Tiger fan because he was like the NY Yankees.

I’m a huge fan of Tiger now, however. Phil is the only guy in the field I am rooting for to beat him.

Scott shops at Marshall and putts like a weekend hacker.

I just can't dislike Molinari. He's showing everyone you don't have to hit 330 to beat the field. Keep it simple. Don't take any unnecessary risks and it seems to slow the game down for him. Solid as they come right now.

Tiger getting giddy is awesome. Hope it's another amazing shot that we talk about for years to come from him. And, that seems to be what it's going to take to win this.

^If he’s in Tiger’s group tomorrow, he’d better have Chris DiMarco-level toughness. His butthole will likely be tighter than the San Andreas fault line.

The crowds and environment will be different at Augusta, but he played with him last year on Sunday at The Open when he won so it won't be totally new for him.

Maybe so, and I respect that, but it would be a cool moment for a lot of people if he won.
I was raised a golfer living in Ohio and am Jack's age. I was a Jack fan when he was Fat Jack won the US Am.
I root against Tiger for one reason: I don't want him to catch Nicklaus.

Molinari’s boring personality does him well on the course because he is so unassuming that it’s hard to see the pressure get to him. Koepka also has ice in his veins. The moment will be too big for Tony.

If Tiger is going to win tomorrow he is really going to have to pull out everything he has left in him because these guys are not intimidated by the red and black on Sunday now.

Yeah, he’s never come from behind, but he’s not really had to. He has had times in which more was expected of him, but honestly, everything he is doing right now is just gravy. As far as intimidation, these guys are more talented than just about anyone Tiger used to beat like a drum. Having said that, Tiger is better than most of these guys, even now. I hope like heck he wins. It would be a great moment.

I think 2 shots may be too much against Franky but, like someone else said, this isn't going to be like the The Open Championship. The crowds tomorrow will be overwhelming and it's Augusta. If he can keep the ice water veins through that it'll be unbelievable. What a tournament this has been, lets take this sucker to legendary status and get #15.

Going to be interesting watching today with the high winds in the forecast. Hope they can get the final round in today before the storms hit.

Winner today wins $2,070,000. 50th place player wins $28,980.

I'm in the wrong damn business!

Tiger not capitalizing where he has a window. Neither are Koepka or Finau. They're not putting any pressure on Molinari.

Molinari is doing the same exact thing he did in the Open. Rely on his ridiculous short game to save pars, and watch Tiger and others make the mistakes. Unless one of these guys start lighting it up he is going to cruise to the Green Jacket.
