- Mediate is on the tee box, he drive one off to the right side in the rough, but looks as though he has a good shot at the pin.
- Tiger lines up…he drive one the same distance at Rocco, but dead center in the fairway.
- Tiger lines up his shot, discussing it deeply with his caddie. This is the longest I’ve seen him wait all day. He picks his club, takes a few practice swings choking up on the club. He switches now to an 8 iron. Lines up and lands one on the green about 20 feet behind the hole.
- Rocco stands in the fairway, eyes up his shot…he skims one through the rough and just barely lands it onto the front left side of the green.
- Rocco hits along a putt that scoots buy the whole, he’s a few feet out now.
- Tiger has a downhill putt to the right side. He lines it up. He hits his birdie putt but its too short. He sinks his par putt.
- Rocco sinks his par putt, so he still leads by one stroke.
