Vijay Stays Ahead
<
Could a Singh-Furyk showdown develop on Sunday?
As I predicted yesterday, Vijay Singh continued his strong play through to today and if it weren’t for a couple of bad holes on 17 and 18, would’ve had a sizeable lead going into final round Sunday. I have to say though, Vijay got extremely lucky with his tee shot on 11, it hit the rocks near the water twice before bouncing back onto the first cut of the rough.
Other strong play included Hunter Mahan who bounced back after a terrible second round. The second round leaders, Steve Allan and John Mallinger played well, but not well enough to win this thing. Jim Furyk is dangerous, sitting at 9-under and only 3-back, I’d be worried about him.
Mike Weir had a solid third round, he’s too far away to win, but his 4-under round today was good enough for him to tie Stephen Ames for top Canuck.
A little controversy after the round when players were criticizing tournament officials for the super-soft greens and odd hole locations to compensate. I have to concur.
Tomorrow will be good to watch, if it comes down to Vij and Jim, it’ll be wire-to-wire.
I apologize for the lack of Evian Masters updates as I simply haven’t watched any coverage or highlights. I’m liking the way Annika is playing though. A quick scan of the leaderboard and I saw some horrendous scores, Michelle Wie shoots +12, Suzann Pettersen +9, Brittany Lincicome +10, ouch…
