Look what Tiger did in the British Open last year. He was the only one in the field with enough mental discipline and fortitude to play the tournament for 72 holes and only use the driver ONE TIME. Tons of guys out there now hit it just as far, if not farther than Tiger. Many of them could have played the British the same way last year...but they lack the mental toughness to do it. Tiger "gets it"...he sees how a course is supposed to be played, knows that he possesses the strength to stick to his game plan...and that is why he continues to beat these guys like a drum.
Hogan was the same way...
Nicklaus was the same way...
Faldo was the same way...

Oh I have no doubt that Tiger will win tomorrow because he does have it figured out and he is mentally tougher than everyone else. I just thinks it's a huge let down when you don't hear the roar on Amen Corner or eagles on 13 and 15 and on and on....I don't mind a test like U.S. Open but they lose me when they screw it up and I think they did this time. jmo.....hey kev, our girl didn't look good....Porter needs to let her go have babies....
