    That's what Tiger does. He makes you choke.

    Can't possibly take this from Woods. Dude was down 5 strokes to start the day and even gave up his lead going to the 18th..still pulled it off.

    And the moral of the story is:
    forcing your child to work at indentured servant-like levels from age 3 til maturity towards a skill not requiring genetic athletic freakishness will almost always result in early grand master status and millions of dollars.

    Tiger Woods is a great athlete. Maybe golf doesn't require you to be a good athlete but to be Tiger Woods good being a great athlete is required.

    The leader shot +3. If he shoots par - something nearly half the field did on Sunday - Tiger would have had no chance. As someone else implied, the pressure of being matched up with Tiger, more than anything Tiger did, caused O'Hair to lose. 34 of the top 36 had a better score than O'Hair.

    Tiger is great, which is why he's in these guy's heads so much. But they need to go see a sports psychologist and learn to deal with pressure better.

    That was dumb as , but man, that's golf. Tiger gave it right back with his drive into the bunker lip on 17. You can't take away from Tiger birdying 18 FTW. Again.

    Easier said than done. The person who's come closest is Rocco, but he acts like he's half drunk or something. Anybody else with millions of dollars and les on the line is going to sweat it out vs Tiger. Psychological therapy or not.

    Tiger asked his father to teach him how to be a winner and how to become someone who performs under pressure. He was a unique talent, with a unique mindset, in the unique position of having someone in his life that had the ability to teach him exactly that. The last player that wouldn't flinch with Tiger in his rear view mirror is named Jack and hasn't played in a couple of decades.
