I guess the big story is "Will Tiger go major-less for the year?" He is -1 after 3 holes today.I am hoping for Mickelson to make some noise. I also would not be surprised to see Stewart Cink have a strong tournament. Sometimes this stuff happens in bunches.

Tiger finally is getting off to a good start in a major. Tied for the lead.What a ****ing brutally long course, btw.

Since start of '06, Tiger Woods has a better winning percentage than 10 different MLB teams.How crazy is that?

it's a bit of a silly statistic. it implies a negative connotation on those 10 teams.....but Tiger's winning pct is over 47%. It is surprising to me that more teams are not below that mark.Just his winning pct alone is impressive/ridiculous/god-like. Throwing in the baseball comparison is a bit nonsensical.

I just copied that off an ESPN live update blog that's going on. It wasn't my comparison, but I find it pretty amazing.When the next highest on tours winning percentage is only something like 9% it's insane.

WikipediaWoods and Bobby Jones are the only golfers to have won 10 majors before the age of 30. Jones achieved 13 majors in 21 attempts, (winning percentage 62%), while Woods achieved 10 wins in 44 attempts (a 23% winning ratio).

Tiger up by four over Fisher (him and Els had low rounds of -4), Harrington, Glover, Brendan Jones and Vijay (plays with Tiger tomorrow).Couple old guys, Corey Pavin and Kenny Perry seven back, tied for 13th. Good to see Pavin play decent so far.

Tiger down one with four to play.I have this feeling that even if he comes back and wins this, he'll get trashed by the media in some parts because he's not the 'old' Tiger who would crush it, like the '97 Masters or 2000 U.S. Open.Win is a win, as far as majors go.

I stand corrected.Tiger just isn't as automatic as he used to be.
