I didn't vote....but I'm not rooting for Monty, but not because of anything he has said to fans in the past. Actually, I had been a fan of Monty's until a couple of rules issues in the past few years. There was the one where he insisted he didn't touch the ball with his putter, although video seemed to indicate he did... I could let that slide if he hadn't had some 'confusion' over where his ball had been in a bunker when play was halted, several tournaments later. In that one, play was halted, he had a terrible (feet perhaps out, ball in)lie in a bunker. He picked up his ball without marking and the following day replaced it in ... surprise! a rather nice lie. It could be coincidence... but ya' know what..I wouldn't be playing Monty for money unless I was friends with the guy who was caddying for him...and Monty wasn't. So I can't root for him anymore.
Actually he did mark his ball but the markers were removed by the time he returned to the course the next morning.

Should he win it'd be a very emotional victory. I like to see that and I think it'd instantly make Monty a better contributor to the game.
But not as much as I once wanted Greg Norman to win the Masters. It was good for Larry Mize, but a well deserved Shark win would have been better for golf.

Great third round. I think anybody who is at +6 or better is still in it(watch out for Vijay!). The course reminds me so much of Bethpage Black, except with more undulating greens. I play the Black occasionally, and I don't know how the members at the Foot can stand it. Every time I play it, I want to run over my clubs in the parking lot.
Should be a fantastic final round tomorrow!
