tiger's latest win

when I saw tiger finish his round on thursday and then read his comments in the friday sports page about his round I briefly considered and thought maybe he will finally, just this once come back to the rest of the golfing ranks. maybe he will like all others around him succumb to the pressures of being the best and let down his guard enough to shoot a normal score of friday and miss his second cut in a row. he is off and called his thursday putting performance the worst he can ever remember. if tiger had shot 70 on friday and missed the cut it would have set off a storm of commentary because this would have been new, something he had never done before.....play like a normal professional golfer and in the midst of being slightly off get a bit worse until you "right the ship" and move ahead.

so with interest on friday morning, I called a friend who follows golf to inquire how tiger was playing and he told me he was 7 under through the first seven holes. no he was not going to fall back to normalcy even this once. he would go on to shoot 63 on friday and take home the trophy on sunday. this determined relentless golfing genius once again found a way to find his game....at least enough to beat the group of no name golfers who were at the top of the leader board at the buick open.
