    He is playing tremendously smart as well. I think in the 1st round he only hit the big stick 3 times. On one hole (4 or 5 maybe) he hit 2i off the tee, 4i from 230 and change. Phil and Bubba were consistently outdriving him by 80 yards or so, but he's the one playing on Sat and Sun in contention.

      Those short slider putts these guys keep missing could really add some nerve-racking drama on Sunday down the stretch.

        Tiger keeps finding the fairway but has had some awful approach shots so far.

          17-year old Beau Hossler tells Costas that at +3 going into Sunday he thinks he can win it.
          Good for him.

            He seems to enjoy playing in the sand...too bad he has stunk in the sand all tourny. (his putting aint exactly great either)

                He actually had a couple sand saves that I recall today at least, but you're right his putting is not what it was and because of it squandered 2-3 strokes at least because of it.

                  I think going into the final few holes he was 2-7 on sand saves. His partner Furyk was 6-6 I do believe.

                        For me with a 195 5-iron, it seems pretty close for the irons...

                        The woods are significantly short though.... They list a 5-wood at only 230 and on good days I can roll that 250-260.... I can hit a 19* Hybrid 240.... Currently hitting an outdated Callaway Steelhead III+ 3-wood about 275... My drives are also a bit longer, but they were in the ballpark... I currently hit my R-11 about 290 and they listed 281... There are times where I can touch 300 as well...

                        If you are looking to lock down distances, a good way to do this would to find a place with an indoor simulator and just hit 15-20 balls with each iron... Take notes and find an average... This gives you a good baseline with zero variables... Obviously the next step is learning how to account for things like temp, wind, and elevation changes, but that is something that takes time...

                            He's just setting us up for later... I mean Dale Jr. won the NASCAR race, so Tiger MUST win the US Open

                            All in all, the course is very playable... Nerves are gonna take their toll on the players though... You can already see it in guys like Hossler and Tiger...
