Sergio Garcia probably had one of the biggest shots of his week, perhaps his career, on 17 from the rough to save par. He hit a sweet little chip shot that got within 5 feet of the hole. He went on to nearly make a birdie on 18 and must be feeling giddy right now heading into tomorrow. I have to give it to him, with all the pressure on him, he played up and made huge shots and putts when it counted.
Steve Stricker had the round of his life and is now in second all by himself.
KJ headed a little south, but is still there. Chris DiMarco stormed back into contention. Mike Weir battled and dropped a shot.
Tiger played better, but not good enough, he needed a lights out day to get into a good position to challenge Sergio, at 1-under and 8 shots away, it’s going to take miracles for him to win.
Full analysis and thoughts later tonight…
