Started the day with an early trip to town for grocery shopping (and I read the last few pages of the Harry Potter book to see how it ends. I haven't read any of the others and I haven't seen the movies but since everyone's been talking about this last book, I just had to find out how it ends.)
After the third round:
Sergio is still in the lead at -9. Steve Stricker is three shots back at -6 and the next closest competitors are at -3. Before the round started I thought that -3 would be a good round today for Sergio. It would be low enough for him to stay in contention but not low enough to constitute one of those rounds where your next round would be hugely over par. I hope he had that one bad round of the tournament on Friday. People are talking about Stricker and thinking he has a good chance to win tomorrow. He has the best chance of anyone except Sergio, but Stricker shot a 64 today (a new British Open Record at that course). I wouldn't be surprised if he had a bad round tomorrow since golfers usually follow a good round with a bad one.
Let's talk for a minute about hitting people with golf balls. Yes, Sergio hit a man with his golf ball today. But Tiger did too. And that is pretty much an every tournament happening for Tiger. It seems like he hits someone at least once every tournament. Something really needs to be done to stop him. Everyone fussed over Sergio spitting in the cup a while back, but Tiger's out there potentially causing concussions with his bad drives and bad approaches to the green. Let me tell you, Gary Player really has his work cut out for him getting the PGA Tour to do something about drug use if they won't even stop Tiger from injuring spectators.
Other Players:
Miguel Angel Jimenez - saw a lot of him today. Unfortunately, he didn't play his best. He is currently tied for 10th at -2
Angel Cabrera - one of my picks to win. Currently at even par for the tournament.
Carl Petterson - my other pick is +5 and tied for 50th.
Justin Rose - is currently -1.
