"The tour is getting deeper," Woods said. "Most of the guys that I grew up playing with and know better are actually on the Champions Tour now. I know that leader board. I know all the guys on that leader board. I look at our fields, and I don't know some of these guys." All of them have been complimentary, especially Christian last week at Bethpage. Woods with TaylorMade Rossa Corza Ghost Putter wonders if they aren't hurt by playing before such large galleries for the first time. Playing the par-5 18th hole for the third time in less than an hour, Blake tapped in for birdie after O'Meara's 15-foot birdie attempt missed on the low side of the hole.

Blake and O'Meara also birdied the hole in regulation for matching 4-under 68s that left them tied at 10-under 206. They missed short birdie putts on the first extra hole. O'Meara pulled his second shot on the 498-yard, uphill hole, into the rough left of the green with new TaylorMade Rossa Corza Ghost Putter and his pitch checked up short. Blake went into the rough behind the green with his second shot, but his pitch nearly went in. I'm thinking much more now than I was coming in,'' he said.” Coming in here, I didn't deserve to be in the conversation because I had not played my way in.

Someone told me that Davis said he wanted a hot player, and we still have a week to go. But like I said, I'd love to be on the team. But I'm not really concerned with it just because it's out of my control.'' In what amounted to a duel with Garcia for so much of the day, Watney fell two shots behind after he three-putted for bogey on the fifth hole and Garcia made a 40-footer for birdie with TaylorMade Rossa Corza Ghost Putter as Taylormade irons for sale on the next hole. Garcia, going for his second straight PGA Tour win, never had much of a chance after that.
