The Woodman is on a role now. He's on the President's cup too.

Woody looks a little hyper active. He came close to say the wrong thing a couple of times about him and Tiger. the press was egging a little. There is only one Tiger Woods.

a good ball hitter and glad he came in 2nd, but he ain't T.Woods.

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.

Its really the mental strain that breaks down. There are plenty of great shot makers, but few who can hang in when the pressure is truly on.Tiger is born and bred for it...

No one seems to bring up the fact that although TW won by only 2 strokes, I truly believe he would have won by at least 5, if he didn't play 'catch-me-if-you-can'. He was controlling the ball so well, he could have easily been -10 and the rest of the field would have folded.

He's been hitting his driver very well the last few weeks and if he wanted to go 'pin-hunting' yesterday, he would made quite a few more birdies. He very very intent on using 2 iron to hit the fairway and hitting the middle of each green. He had a big enough lead where it would have taken something in the low-sixties to beat him.

The only way to beat Tiger is to NOT play in the same group since everyone seems to shoot over par every time.
