Tiger had yet another amazing day on Saturday at Torrey Pines. He was multiple shots back at some points, but his last four holes ended in Tiger mastery. Playing on one knee (and in visible, limping pain after some shots), Tiger roared back with 2 eagles and a hole-out from the sand to charge atop the leaderboard at -3 entering Sunday's final day of competition. HIs shots were met with thunderous crowd responses louder than almost anything heard before, according to ESPN's Rick Reilly. His final eagle putt on #18 was executed with such precision that it shows us how great of an athlete we are witnessing. It reminded me of a David Feherty comment after one of Tiger's past, signature shots: "That is just wrong on so many levels." Even Tiger can be seen visibly amazed at some of the things he does. The following are two great videos recapping the day in La Jolla. The first is a link to ESPN Video of SportsCenter's highlights, while the second video is Rick Reilly's reaction to the day's events.
