Well Tiger is back within range, but something special really needs to happen if he wants to make move. I think some of the leaders need to mess up because I don't see the course giving up more than 4-5 strokes tomorrow especially with projected winds. Right now it is the leaders jacket to lose.

Also another breakdown from Lefty? Seems like he went downhill after that unfortunate 8th.

Are you talking about a particular day?

I know they only get him one day based on his tee times (Thursday or Friday). The reason I asked is that during Friday's coverage, they seemed to go to Tiger well before his shot. On #10 we watched him survey his putt for about 2 minutes. Then they would stay with him after the shot was over. I understand Tiger = ratings but I just was wondering if this was maybe partly a result of ESPN being involved. I'm not being critical, it just seems like its more pronounced to me. But I could be wrong. I want bang bang coverage. As many shots as they can fit in would be my preference.

I guess my question is, does the person directing the Thursday and Friay broadcasts-the person who says to the announcers in their ears "Let's go to 13 for Paul Casey"- does he or she work for ESPN or CBS?

Also, if the wind blows tomorrow as predicted, Tiger is well within range.
