Unnecessarily tense

CBS assemble quite an entertaining crew of broadcasters for its golf coverage, and they are so lucky today, in that Tiger Woods and Padraig Harrington are engaged in a major duel; Harrington started the day three strokes up, was two down a while ago, and is one up on 16 but all hell is breaking loose, as Tiger has just made a truly amazing show (yawn? 182 yard 8-iron, no margin for error against water and within a few feet - and Tiger has made all but one putt within 10 feet this tournament) and Harrington screwed one up.
It is hard to find more fun than this!
UPDATE: Harrington goes into the water. This is over just as it really got engaging.
UPDATE: Did Faldo just say "One man flated and another man deflated"? This is why I love sports broadcasters!
In the end, though, as Harrington's miscues take command of the story, one should focus on the amazing 180-yard shot from Woods that made Harrington have to take some risks.
UPDATE: Tiger will win this and it will be 70 wins at the age of 33. I am so privileged to live in his time.
UPDATE: That approach on 18! Wow.
