Really though, the 2001 Masters and 2006 British are the only times he's faced a close lead through three rounds with big names right behind him and come out to shoot sub 70 and win the tournament. All the others were blowouts, facing overmatched golfers, or shooting in the 70s and still holding on to win. Only twice has he elevated his game in the final round when faced with adversity.
