Once Again, It's Tiger Holding the Trophy

Well Tiger Woods did it again. A 65 on Sunday is good but it has become fairly common place for Tiger. But how the 65 came about and what took place on the famous 16th at Firestone will go down in our collective memories as one of his better final round efforts.

Yes, I know he has had better rounds on Sunday. But it was the theatre and just how it happened that made it so very cool. Started 3 shots back on Sunday and by the 4th hole Tiger had come all the way back to tie it and by 9 had a 2 shot lead. Then he gives it back with back to back bogies to trail by one going into the 16th hole.

At that point I was thinking Tiger was in trouble and then he does it again. A 178 yard 8 iron? Over Water? To 1 foot? Oh come on, this cannot be real! This man does things with a golf club that no man should be able to do.

Then I thought, ok it will be tied after this hole. Then Harrington proceed to do something no golfer ever wants to see another do. Completely collapse on a single hole and post a snowman. A 4 shot swing in one hole that sealed the deal for Tiger and left Padraig asking what if.

If you ever want to do some light reading. Go to Tigers website http://web.tigerwoods.com/aboutTiger/chronology and read his timeline of golf. This man has done almost everything possible in golf and when he passes Jack for career major victories and then Sam Snead for career PGA Tour victories. What else is there for him to do except win all four majors in the same calendar year. There are some records that even Tiger will never break because of the difference between then and now like Byron Nelsons records of 11 straight victories, 18 victories in a single season, 24 victires in 2 straight seasons and 32 victories in three seasons.

But those aside, Tiger will most likely own every major record in golf history when he finally retires from the sport. Considering he is only 33 years old and has the prime of his career ahead of him, I am not sure he won't hold them all.

You have to watch him at this point or your just not a fan of sports. Tiger Woods is making history everytime he steps on the golf course and I for one want to watch the greatest player to ever play the game while I can.

GO TIGER!
