at a certain point- 'late' becomes 'early' and visa versa

Yeah McBeth lost another stroke on 3 and another on 4. Currently Eagle is 8 strokes over McBeth (4 over Manu, 5 over Ricky). Of course all this could be moot if Eagle falls apart half way through this round (or next round). Eagle is an amazing player when he's on, but I don't think he has quite the consistency or the mental game of McBeth or Ricky. Still, I'd love to see him win the event. I'm lazy; anyone know how many rounds there are total?

Eagle does have the advantage of bagging a lot of champion plastic, which is going to get less floppy than some other plastic. Ricky mentioned having problems with some of his discs getting soft and floppy in the heat in the recap video with Avery. It's funny, but Eagle is coming to the Aussie Open after doing pretty badly in the South Florida Open a month ago. Maybe the warm Florida weather in that tournament helped him make the adjustment for Australia a little earlier though. He's certainly playing very well so far, and I do hope he can keep his head in it and win.

And speaking of Eagle, 6 down through 6 holes aint bad.

The thing that really struck me about McBeth two years ago was his consistent and smooth play. Eagle looks like Paul did two years ago.

Manabu is my dark horse. He looks almost as smooth as Eagle.
8 out of 9 birds, Eagle and Ricky exchanging blows, it's a heavyweight fight. And I'm liking Eagle's new logo on the lower back of his shirt, there's a new sheriff on town!
Crap I really need some sleep!

Haha, try 14 down through 15! Ricky and Eagle are shredding.

They're also both now tied with the current course record with 3 holes left to play...

When dudes are on fire, they are on fire. WOW
(also, although Paul is out of it, not a bad 4-stroke swing on a single hole battling with Kajiyama)
