That's right. Tiger got to -12 in 2000.

Devastated I didn't back McIlroy for a Top 10 finish at 2.36 earlier in the week, looked a little bit big for me!

The guy is playing unbelievable golf at the minute.
2 days left, but I would be surprised if he messes this one up!

I really hope he can win it.

Exactly, in 2000 woods got to -12 with a triple bogey. US opens are played on the most demanding golf courses. This is an epic achievement.

Hopefully he can keep it up

Remember that the Courses were TOUGHENED up after that record !!!!!!!!!

LuckyGent88

ah crap.

just play to the bunkers at the right.

Morrisseeee

..........oh unlucky from Mickelson there, such a fine line between success and failure, oh yikes, Rory makes the water :eek:

sunbabe08

sweet mother of god, may have to lie down after that.

geuro

just finishing work. am i missing something, is there no TV coverage of this?

LuckyGent88

he was never going to go through the whole tournament without encountering a few problem holes. Its how he copes after he has a bad hole that will win or loose him the tournament. Key for Rory now is the 1st few holes tomorrow.

sunbabe08

-11 not bad going to be honest

Aidric

Screw that for a finish. A bogey wouldn't have been too bad but a double takes some gloss off the round. Two successive 65's would have been sweet.

Sean Bateman

1) The slums of Chicago are full of 1st and 2nd round leaders.

2) Leading a Major after three rounds and $3 will get you an Americano in Starbucks.

Too many wild statements in this thread about Rors. He's done incredibly well so far but we've a guy with a seemingly unassailable lead who has form when it comes to throwing away seemingly unassailable leads.

Fingers crossed but there's a long long way to go.

ipitydafool

pity about last hole, bad second shot but its a tough finishing hole. -11 great score after 2 rounds. He will have at least a 5 shot lead i would imagine, cant see anyone get past -6. definitely tougher conditions in afternoon, the greens are drying out and will be firmer.

Rory's a far better player than Tiger was at this stage.
