I may live 836 miles from Augusta, Georgia, but I think I can attest to the shocking WNW wind coming to their parts. I doubt it decides to veer off, and any let up this afternoon when the shadows grow long will be far from a zephyr. (FWIW, as one forecaster noted, at this time of year in Georgia, you wait for the wind to die off and then the temperature crashes - but not with this front) . . . Songs going round in your head, for me I'd say, "she'll be coming 'round the mountain when she comes."
All my capping follows my (sometimes lazy and sometimes relentless) pursuit of and reflection upon INFORMATION and ANGLES. I am ready to bet the board
on Saturday scores, but
I'm seriously afraid it's going to get so bad on holes like 17 that they could easily end up suspending play. So I'll be more selective with my full unit plays (and bet the board for $10 each), but that's the only thing holding me back. Maybe I'll lose a couple units. Maybe my INFORMATION and ANGLES are clueless and/or luckless. Or not.
Take what you will from these items gleaned from the coverage:

If you take my next and final statement as an opinion on Tiger's prospects, then you completely miss the point (and I would nominate the comment as poster child for one of those exasperating aspects of being misunderstood on the internet by about 180 degrees, but that's another discussion) . . . Anyway, I have nothing better than this to sum up my opinion on the next installment of this championship: Tiger isn't going to need a freakin' 71 to be clear favorite or next in line come Saturday night.
