Could be a cracking final round tonight
Rose not playing with Tiger will give him the break away from the circus that followed Woods , he has a chance to get some early birdies on the board
And then Rory with Woods could be fun - we all know Rory is going to be smashing the off the tee , will Woods ego keep him grounded and not try to chase Rory down the fairway
3 shot lead could be gone in 3 holes but the way Woods started it could be a 5 shot lead
I think the driving over the first few holes is gonna be key. It looked to me yesterday that once woods had warmed up he was keeping up with Rose, I think rose tried to hit it a bit too hard on the final few holes and it went a little wrong.
Tonight Woods can’t keep up with Rory, not with any degree of accuracy. If he accepts that it could be fun.
I think this lead is different to previous ones as he’s had a night to sleep on it and plan, not suddenly find himself there and go full pelt full of adrenaline.
It’s been a while since I’ve watched a full tiger round with him in contention, but I thought it was a decent touch that he allowed Rose to finish up quite a few putts before taking his putts on a number of holes. Not just simple tap ins which is common place, but quite a few Rose went full routine on but still finished first so as to not have to face the “galleries†vanishing act when woods finishes.
I’ll be rooting for Woods, but if any of the top 3 win I’ll be pleased. Hopefully with one of em shooting the lights out and not two just falling over.
