    Anybody watching?

    Tiger just hit a ridiculous 2nd to the green. (Behind that tree on 18th) :eek:
    Putting for eagle, That was just vintage Tiger, maybe his game is starting to come back.

    Dustin Johnson leads at -5, btw. He's won 2 times at Pepple Beach so he must really like the course.

    This is just becoming an amazing setup for tomorrow:

    Two underdogs, Johnson & McDowell leading and all the superstars in the hunt a few shots back: Woods, Els and Mickelson.

    Of course, there's plenty of 3rd to play and anything can happen. Mickelson has struggled mightily today but got out of the trouble with very little damage.

    Tiger Woods has made my day.. what an incredible back 9--4 better than anyone in the field so far. I think MacDowell is going to fall off and Johnson will be paired with Woods tomorrow; at least that's what I want to see.

    Exciting US Open for sure though!

    Great to see Tiger make a run. I wanted to see Lefty in contention too but he is tailing off. This isn't the course for him

    McDowell has a really good iron game, which is the key here. He could very well hang in there and he has played well this year so far.

    Has ToyCen confirmed that these pits of sand were formed by aliens?

    Some of them have pretty interesting shapes. I think it's a message.

    Dustin Johnson with a comfortable 3 shot lead and maybe more importantly, 5 shot buffer to Tiger.

    However, a couple of bogeys early on could make this really interesting. If Tiger smells blood and feels he has a legitimate chance of winning, it could get really close.

    Dustin Johnson whipping out driver on the 18th was just awesome...

    And they asked him about tomorrow, and he said...."No change, I hit the driver well, and....I like hitting it"....and had a great smirk.....

    The dude is ice....let's see if he holds up.

    The key is that DJ will be playing behind Tiger.. so if Tiger can get off to a good start, it will really put a lot of pressure on DJ..

    I went to lunch with my dad today and he had to listen to this on the radio. I almost blew my brains out. As if it's not enough to have to watch golf on television

    Never nervous Dustin Johnson seems to be a little nervous after all.

    It doesn't matter how long you drive the ball if your irons aren't working perfectly. On this course, a little mis hit could mean a disaster.

    Going to be a great ending...I think Els and even Woods will have a share of the lead at some point.

    Yeah, even Els now is ****ing it up.

    McDowell has also played somewhat sloppy. Expect bogeys for him too, if his ball strinking doesn't get better.
