Tiger Woods up by eight after three rounds at the Buick Invitational. I predict someone catches and beats him tomorrow. ... Just kidding! Bet you were thinking, "Stu's lost his mind!"

Buick Invitational preview: What odds on Tiger Woods winning everything? —
PGA Punter
The betting on the real ’season opener’ is predictably lopsided. The money on Tiger Woods is already a flood running at more than 30 times his nearest challenger, Phil Mickelson . I suppose it’s a bit late to suggest both sides of the betting equation are a trifle barmy.
The case against laying Tiger is obvious. A five-time winner, including the last three on the trot, ...
