Not too shabby for a completely irrelevant 42-year old as some might say

On a related note, it’s hard for me to see Thomas not winning this one. He is absolutely murdering the pins today, and the only reason he doesn’t have the lead already is because he’s lipped out a couple short putts

Agreed. I think he takes it and reclaims the #1 ranking from DJ. Tiger finishes Top 5, but comes up short I think. He’ll be a force next major season if the back holds up though.

ETA: Just as I say that, Thomas 3-putts for bogey after leaving himself an 8-footer for birdie. Wow. And Molinari is hard charging once again...now at -9. Could be a great finish, even greater if Tiger could find his driver and Thomas could find his putter.

Same here, time for me to go watch Bob Ross paint happy little trees. That's the only thing that can put me to sleep faster than golf whispering on CBS

That shot Thomas hit outta the gallery area was insane. Ridiculous birdie after hitting a spectator.

That is a fact. He can’t seem to hit anything off the tee without putting some major English on the ball

I thought Koepka was about to take a dive, but he seems to be back at it. That guy looks like a college linebacker, but it’s been awhile since I’ve seen a guy hit 330 yard drives consistently down the middle and then drop a wedge inside 10 feet. He’s got a very complete game when he’s on

I’ll Save you 3 hours. Tiger keeps it within 3-4 strokes and then wait for it... doesn’t win a major again. Tiger Fans getting all giddy for nothing. It’s embarrassing really.

He'll probably lose by 1 after that putt came up about a millimeter short on 12.

I bet the TV execs aren’t embarrassed by the ratings they are about the post.

Nobody in the history of that sport has created as much interest in it as he has. And still does.

So you yourself are embarrassed when complete strangers sit around and watch Tiger compete with the world's best in the last major of the year. Got it.

Hope you didn't put money on that predictions. He just keeps gaining strokes. Other players are hitting it well too. Too bad your too happy to see a possible Tiger loss instead of enjoying a great Sunday at a Major involving several golfers.

WHOOPS!!! There went another birdie. One back...

I’m not a Tiger fan, but you’re embarrassing

At the Open you acted like he’d never be close to another major. Now you’re calling him out again for being one stroke back. Just admit he’s relevant and keep on quietly rooting against him.

That lip-out on 14 looked like it was headed center cup. Don't see how it kept from going in. Koepka just missed a birdie about a third as long, and now he's tied with Adam Scott.

Almost dunked the approach shot on 16 too. Looks like about a foot away. Might have to depend a little on Koepka and Scott to teeter a little, but Tiger's back. He didn't win every time in his prime.

What I'm as impressed with as anything is the way his back is holding up at the end of 49 holes in 33 hours. Especially with some of the torque he's had to put on it scrambling after all those wayward drives. If he holes this putt all bets are off.

1 stroke off the lead. 15 ft for birdie. Hole 16.

You were saying?

Helluva ride,but it's over today.. that tee shot on 17 finished him.

However it finishes, it has been fun with his play AND the other guys playing great as well. Remember back in his old days where the rest of the field would crumble? Not these young guns today man.

How long has Brian Urlacher been golfing? Dude's pretty good. 4 tour wins and 3 are majors. And still doesn't have a pulse

Probably not. Tiger almost hit his tee shot in the creek on 17 but managed to make par. Koepka is about a wedge out on the same hole. He should make a birdie at least.

OK, it wasn't a wedge ... 258 yds. But he didn't hit the best 3 iron in the world. Should make a par at least.

Good grief. Tiger sinks a 15 foot birdie on 18. 1 behind. Pressure is on Koepka. He's been cool so far, but ....

It's not over yet. Koepka just missed his birdie on 17. He's 2 up and won't double the last hole.
