You can follow him round the course for the whole day from 4pm our time.

Thought some of you golfers may be interested to know

You're kidding right? Like we don't get enough of Tiger even if he's shooting 77?

Well I'll say thanks for the link.

I enjoyed watching a full round of golf (even if it was just Tiger and Ames) without any adverts.

I was busy yesterday, but thanks for the heads up anyway, ROB.

Fatshaft, it's impossible to watch too much Woods, especially if he's shooting 77 (and I'll be impressed if you can find me the last time he did).

Man I thought I had you, two 76s in last years US Open.

I guess the last time he shot 77+ was probably Lawrie's Open at Carnoustie?

Ha ha, you'll have to do better than that, my friend!

He shot 74, 74, 72, 74 at Carnoustie in 1999.

Ok, I'll help you out - I've followed Woods for 10 years now and the only 77 I can remember him having in all that time is in the second round of the Buick Invitational in 2002. (Despite being +5 for that round, he finished -10 for the tournament and tied for 5th place.)

The point is, he does absolutely anything in his power to shoot 77 rather than 78, so it's still compelling watching him do that. I don't believe there has ever been a golfer who grinds it out like he does when things aren't going well.
