Glover "held on to win" today by posting a 3 over score on the final round. Tiger doesnt do that and its false. Shooting a 70, or even a 72 (a lot of courses are par 72) is COMPLETLEY different than "holding on to win" and 100% false.

An even par final round is not spectacular for Tiger Woods. Even for most top players it is a very good round but not spectacular. We aren't comparing these guys to what me or you or Kev or Marty can do, we are comparing them to the best of the best. And shooting par is not spectacular for the best of the best even of Sunday of a Major.

now dont prove that you dont know what you are talking about with statements like this cause it will make it not fun to argue.

Ever hear of things like "course conditions"? Sometimes a +1 or +2 score is a spectacular round, even for a guy like Tiger. You cant just look at a number. Last time they played at Bethpage Tiger was the only player to finish under par for the tourney. Now a guy like Ricky Barnes shoots 8 under after two rounds. Can you see where I'm going with this??

Tiger's obviously great, but his Ryder Cup record still stinks, and that includes his singles matches. Other than that though, it's hard to complain with the overall body of work. He's still incredibly annoying though.

You are completely off on your definition of spectacular. At the very least spectacular should be the best round of the day and even then it should be a rare occurrence. For a +1 or +2 to be spectacular the next best score would have to be +5 or +6.

more than one player are allowed to have spectacular rounds on the same day.
