Mercedes Championships: Third Round
Well, as expected, Tiger made a characteristic charge up the leaderboard, shooting an 8-under 65 and landing at -13, seven back of leader Stuart Appleby, and five back of the grotesque, unctuous Vijay Singh.
Obviously, it doesn't look good for a win. Tiger has to go VERY low tomorrow, and even then might just only catch Vijay. But we here at TigerCast 2004 kinda like Stuart Appleby, only because he had to endure one of the worst emotional experiences I can imagine a human being can have, back in 1998:

London - Renay Appleby, the wife of U.S. PGA Tour player Stuart Appleby of Australia, was killed Thursday morning in a traffic accident at Waterloo Station.
Renay was struck and killed by a car after she exited a cab. She was 25.
The Applebys were at Waterloo Station to take a train to Paris for short vacation prior to his participation in next week's Scandinavian Masters in Sweden.
Look, you watch your wife die, you get a free pass from TigerCast 2004, that's just how it works.
However, it's important to get quickly to our other feature:
WHY TIGER IS WINNING.
Oh my God. First of all, I personally witness Tiger miss 3 putts today from inside 5 feet. That's unheard of, so he really should have had (as he admitted in the post-round interview) a 62. Add that to the fact that he has played at -4 for the TWELVE par 5s he's played so far this week, which is OUTRAGEOUS -- he nearly
averages birdie on the par 5's -- you can see that, even if you DO count the double bogey he took at #1 yesterday, he should still be way, WAY out in front of everybody.
He's not going to win this week, but he's playing the kind of golf which should give every single one of his competitors the hot, wet, stinky runs all night long.
Even the
disgusting, soul-patch-infested, cheating, lying scuz-bucket, Vijay Singh.
