Tiger Woods

Kev - it was a great win for Tiger - but let's not get carried away - this course couldn't have played more than 6,500 hundread yards - the fairways were rocks. He realized that he could hit par 5's with an iron off the tee and another iron into the greens

for the tourney again he was -14 on the par5's , for the weekend he was -7 on the par 5's and +1 on the rest of the golf course

that's why i warned oracle not to bet you- when he plays a golf course with 4 par 5's that he knows he can reach in 2 - in this case with 2 irons off the tee, the field doesn't have much of a chance. He mentally has that big edge when he steps up on the first tee , he already feels he is 4 under par for the round.

When you put him on a tree lined tight par 70 golf course where he doesn't have that same mental edge knowing that he is an automatic -4 to start off, things somehow turn out differently- certain US Open courses just don't fit his game , just like they didn't Jack's game.


He is the greatest front runner in the history of golf- never lost a major after 3 rounds with a lead - that is an amazing thing
