    Highest scoring round in a PGA in 21 years, I believe they said. 78.
     
  2. It looks like his putting was starting to fall off - with the exception of the par-save on 17 - those last few holes. He really misjudged some putts.

    Tee to green, he was tremendous.

    That was a brutal round. Scoring average over 78 .. Three strokes higher than the previous mark.
     
  3. Last Pete Dye course to host a Major?

    Better conditions and birdies can be found -- but so far it's another Saturday-at-a-major backup by Tiger. Now five back with McIlroy leading the way. Probably a rain delay coming up.

    Rory to 7 under.
     
  6. Tiger is gonna need a fresh pair of Depends at the turn. He crapped his pants on the front.

    Whistling Straits a couple years back, won by Kaymer, right?

    Yup. Whistling Straits in 2010 and 2004.

    I was looking over the courses that have hosted the PGA -- it's amazing the PGA hasn't been west of the Central time zone since 1998, at Sahalee. And only three times since 1984 -- Sahalee (1998), Riviera (1995) and Cherry Hills (1985). And that trend will continue through at least 2018.

    And with the rain delay, CBS is airing a replay of the beginning of the end for Tiger -- the final round of the 2009 PGA. Only time he held a 54-hole lead in a major and lost it. And three months later was the fire hydrant.

    A Monday finish means more attention with the Olympics done.

    A Monday finish means they might have all of Sunday's ticketholders off the island by the time the tournament is over.
