As the others have remarked too, there is nobody that's as pure a ball striker as T. and nobody as creative as T. and nobody who is as tough mentally as T. and nobody who makes the clutch shots as much as T. That's what sets him apart.
There are guys who have as much talent (example: Mickelson). Guys who are in as good shape (example: Weir). Guys who have good playing stretches (example: Woody). Guys who are great putters and have great touch around the greens (example: Ernie).
When T. missed that five or six footer and three-putted the announcers were incredulous and thought he might crack. But it was apparent that he either mistruck it slightly or the wear on the greens shot it left a little and it almost dropped anyway. And he birdied the next hole.
I still contend that it was unlucky for Ames to be paired with Woods though it would be hard to miss his birdie putt on purpose on #18 on Saturday. I think the distractions of the Tiger gallery are really tough on a player especially if you have a couple of bad holes early.
Congratulations to Tiger. He deserved to win.
