For those who are Golf Fans -- Tiger Woods did the golf version of Floyd's ride today, as he decimated the Royal Hoylake course and has taken a 3 shot lead in the British Open. So much for all the "Tiger is dead" stories.

With similair splits the GC heading into Paris would look like this
1. Landis
2. Sastre :52
3. Perreiro 1:10
4. Kloden 2:41
5. Evans 3:26
Giving that this TT is 5KM longer and also a little hillier, seems to point to Floyd actually doing slightly better than those splits.
