Was on 15th when Tiger snack-bar episode happened. Sheriff told me a kid fainted, woman screamed. I never heard it. Busiest spot on course.

Tiger is 48-for-52 with 3rd-round lead in PGATour play. But in last 5 global starts offering ranking points, has lost 54-hole lead 3 times.

Matteo Manassero, looking for Hail Mary to Masters, is T2 on EuroTour after 4 holes. Will be close with he and Els re cracking top 50 today.

Many Tweeps asking why Tiger so distracted by noise, photogs. Beats me. Dad used to brag about drills they did to imbue tunnel vision.

by Steve Elling via twitter 3/25/2012 1:17:11 PM
Again, I was standing on 15th tee yesterday when Tiger went OB. I did not hear scream, though sherrifs deputy said it happened. Lotsa noise.

Many references to Tiger-GMac Chevron duel in 2010. Tiger actually laughed when I asked about difference between his game, now versus then.

Woods has birdies on 10 of 12 par 5s. The Bay Hill field average this week is -3 on same holes. That's seven strokes on foes, right there.

by Steve Elling via twitter 3/25/2012 2:04:56 PM
When paired in 9 previous rounds at PGA Tour events, including unofficial Chevron, McDowell is averaging 71.7 shots, and Tiger is at 70.2.

by Steve Elling via twitter 3/25/2012 2:09:55 PM
Incredible stat: Only 5 of the 56 guys Tiger's been paired with when holding lead/share after 54 holes have had lower score on Sunday.

by Steve Elling via twitter 3/25/2012 2:14:02 PM
Those 5 guys: Ed Fiori in 1996, Mike Weir in 1999, Bob May in 2000, Chris DiMarco in 2005, Brett Wetterich in 2007 and YE Yang in 2009.

Of those 6 guys who posted lower score when paired with leader Tiger in final round, he still won the tournament title 4 of those occasions.

by Steve Elling via twitter 3/25/2012 2:20:56 PM
Remember how Ernie lost last week? Whatta quick fix. Ranks 3rd this week in strokes gained/putting. Is No. 157 in that stat for season.

by Steve Elling via twitter 3/25/2012 2:29:46 PM
Tip of golf cap to Shotlink for insane data on aptitude (or lack thereof) of leader Tiger's playing partners in final round over years.

As testimanent to Bay Hill pollen count, there will be a ceremonial burning of my contact lenses behind 18th green after play concludes.

by Steve Elling via twitter 3/25/2012 2:55:59 PM
Orlando got a splash of rain overnight, which generally means two things: Gonna be a steambath and greens should be softer = lower scoring.

by Steve Elling via twitter 3/25/2012 2:57:58 PM
RT @Graeme_McDowell: Looking forward to a great shootout today at Bay Hill. Tiger, myself, Ernie, Poults and others. Course is tough so ...

by Steve Elling via twitter 3/25/2012 2:58:14 PM
Have said this about the last 30 days in a row, but man, I wish Masters started tomorrow. Slew of big boys playing great right now, huh?

by Steve Elling via twitter 3/25/2012 5:10:42 PM
Here's a stat that gives pause. There have been two fatal heart attacks at PGA Tour events this year. At match play and here this week.

by Steve Elling via twitter 3/25/2012 5:12:51 PM
By the way, if Tiger makes another walk-off birdie today on 72nd to win Bay Hill by one, I'm throwing Arnie in the lake. Hope he can swim.

by Steve Elling via twitter 3/25/2012 5:16:11 PM
On second thought, Arnie is probably too heavy. So, instead, DiMeglio's definitely going swimming.

NBC ratings for Saturday at Bay Hill up 53 percent from 2011 and its best number since 2003, when TW won his fourth straight title here.

Tiger Woods makes a 14-foot birdie to increase his lead to 3 strokes at Bay Hill. McDowell in 2nd place. cbsprt.co

by Eye on Golf via twitter 3/25/2012 7:06:07 PM
Tiger birdies No. 6 but McDowell answers with an eagle and cuts Tiger's lead to 2 strokes. cbsprt.co

by Eye on Golf via twitter 3/25/2012 7:33:55 PM
Tiger used to go on "Tiger Cruise Control" when he won all the time. Seems he's on it now.

by Shane Bacon via twitter 3/25/2012 7:59:07 PM
All the players are wearing them for Jarrod Lyle RT @andyhodgsongolf: Anyone know what the story is with that pin on Tiger's hat?

by Shane Bacon via twitter 3/25/2012 8:07:27 PM
Tiger wasn't upset with that result (25 feet), he is upset because that's his bad miss (the pull when he's trying to cut it in there)

by Shane Bacon via twitter 3/25/2012 8:09:36 PM
Yani Tseng is leading by five. Tiger Woods is up by four. Something about all this seems right.

by Shane Bacon via twitter 3/25/2012 8:12:32 PM
Tiger Woods leads at the turn by four strokes. Will he hold on to the lead? Let us know what you think. cbsprt.co

She's not bad at golf MT @StinaSternberg: Tseng's lead is now 6 with 5 to play

by Shane Bacon via twitter 3/25/2012 8:41:16 PM
Pretty huge putt there for Graeme, if not only for his confidence but to get Tiger thinking. Possible two-shot swing.
