Surprised there was no thread on this until now.

Harrington starting to get in the groove now as they say, has a putt now to go 1 under.

Big Daly will probably not even make the cut, would love to see him in the running Sunday though.

The Goose and Poulter should always finish well up the order, Cabrera had a 10 at a par 3.

I'm pleased for the Wild Thing. Grip it and rip it big Daly boy!

Some Sasenach called Storm doing well too, and he's playing the course backwards.

I think he'll lay up at the same hole in his second and final round, lol.

Predict the Daily Mirror's back-page headline tomorrow and I'll give you a tenner.

Take by storm

If he starts hitting bogeys -- "Storm blows hot and cold"..
If he does well "Storm blows away the field"
"Graeme Storms America".

Harrington is well placed, another birdie or two would put him right up there.

Spake of the divil....  Harrington just birdied 15 to tie for 5th, 3 behind Storm.
[edit] - Third birdie in a row.

Very important par putt for Harrington.

Storm is playing excellent this last few weeks, unknown to most he has a great game and is really coming to the fore.

The parfact Storm.

Bogey at 17 for Harrington. Put just broke right at last second. A steady par on the last and he willl be sitting in a great position.

Never bet against the Tiger. 1 under for the day and -7 for the championship following his fantastic 63 yesterday. McGinley 2 over through 7 and Harrington 5 over through 11.

Tiger makes it look so easy. He is a true sporting star.
Title: Re: USPGA
Post by: we are blue... etc on August 12, 2007, 09:01:38 PM
Els is moving up the leaderboard.... -2 for the day through 5. Tiger +1 through 3. Will be between these two I reckon.
Title: Re: USPGA
Post by: we are blue... etc on August 12, 2007, 10:07:11 PM
Birdies on 3, 5, 8 and 10 for Els. -4 for the day, 8 left to play.

Tiger's on a roll, bogied 2 but birdied 4, 7 and 8. Three shots clear of Els with 10 holes to play.

They just announced that the average temp per round was 101 F. The players had a tough week but what about all those cameramen walking around carrying those heavy cameras all day, hats off to them all.

Normal service is resumed, Tiger wins it. 2 clear of Woody Austin and 3 clear of Els.

That's 4 PGAs now to go with his 4 Masters. 13 Majors in 11 seasons.
