Tiger Woods posted another great round on Saturday, a bogey-free 66 to put him at -11 through three rounds and have a share of the lead with the hatless wonder Robert Rock. Rock looks like a goof with his hair flopping in the wind, and I just wonder what good reason he could have for wanting to go hatless on the course. This is not important, though, so let's look at what Tiger has done to this point. He has played great and hit the ball well. His putting is starting to come around. His confidence and swagger out there has come back. He doesn't appear to be just one of the guys out there battling. He is Tiger Woods and it is good to see him playing well. I will be sure to be tuned in early Sunday morning to watch the final round and see Tiger in his Sunday red ready to take down Robert Rock and whoever may challenge him. Guys like Molinari and McIlroy are only two back, but they may have to shot 65 or 66 to have a chance with the way Tiger is playing.
In other news, Kyle Stanley seized a five-stroke lead in California by shooting a steady 68 following his first two rounds of 62-68. At 18-under, he has a five-shot lead. Stanley, the Clemson product (hence why I like him), hits it a country mile and has a bright future on this tour and may be the best second year player on tour. Let's see if he can finish the deal tomorrow.
