Tiger Woods had a 2-shot lead after the turn. Tiger is at even par, Rocco at +2. Rocco is sporting a red Tiger shirt, so is Tiger.

10th hole: Tiger just rolled in par putt from the fringe, again curling in from the side door, barely. Rocco flubbed his chip and then two-putted for bogey. Tiger is now 3-strokes up. Momentum on Woods’ side. If Rocco doesn’t stop the bleeding, could be over soon.

11th hole: Tiger hits tee shot into bunker on par 3. Rocco stripes one over the flag, to about 20 feet. Tiger bogeys, Rocco pars. Tiger slips back to 2-shots up.

12th hole: Rocco drives into fairway. Tiger drives into bunker. Rocco stripes nice shot onto green. Tiger skies shot out of bunker and yells, “Goddammit.” NBC censors. Tiger chips, ends up short. Rocco powers his 15 footer right through break, 5 feet past hole. Mutters to himself and swipes his hand in air in disgust. Tiger misses par putt, ends up 5 feet past hole; Tiger makes it for bogey. Rocco needs to make his par putt to apply pressure on Tiger. Rocco makes par, closing Tiger’s lead to just 1-stroke.

13th hole: Both birdie par 5.

14th hole: Tiger lips out birdie putt, settles for par. Rocco chips to 6 inches, taps in for birdie. All tied. 5 holes left.

Sorry, guys, I gotta head out for a conference.
