SIMPLY THE BEST!

Another Sunday came and went, but this time something special happened. Tiger Woods gave up a lead on the final day and was forced to paw his way back on the very last hole just to earn a share of the lead and to force an 18 hole playoff. In typical Tiger fashion, that is exactly what he did. In a very up and down round yet again and an ailing left knee he managed to overcome his rare chink in the armour. With his putter and the ability to block out pressure better the any other athlete, possibly every and with a little help from Rocco Mediate he managed to add to his legacy. This comeback will just be enough to set up one of the most memorable playoffs in a Major Tournament, head to head with the #126 PGA money ranking player.
As Mondays playoff evolved Mediate gave Tiger all that he could handle and then some. Each player were given the opportunity to take control and open things up a bit. That didn’t happen and again it came to a pressure packed birdie put on 18 by Tiger to force a playoff of the playoff. This one sudden death on #7. Tiger managed par and Mediate just couldn’t hold him off any longer. I give a ton of credit to Rocco for all he was able to do and almost became the man that tamed the Tiger. In the tug of war of the day Tiger has taken another step closer to his goal to reach Nickalus.He is the greatest player ever and when all is said and done there will be no disputing it. Enjoy the ride people you are witnessing something special.

What a finish! That putt on Sunday was magnificent and the playoff was great. I may or may not have gone home early to watch it now that I have a TV again. It was ex.

PS: I did notice the chink in the armour reference, very strong. I just hope it wasn't KJ Choi.
