Man, Tiger really sucks now. He can't hit a fairway. He can't make any putts. He can't hit the ball as far as he used to. His knee is not healthy. He needs to fire his swing coach, Hank Haney. He can't come from behind to win. He doesn't have his "A" game when he needs it. He will never break Jack's record now.
This nonsense is all that has been written about Tiger Woods the past few months, despite him coming back after major surgery and winning one tournament and finishing with five top ten finishes. Talk about high expectations. Apparently he needed to win every tournament by ten strokes for the writers to shut up.
"I wish you'd all quit (ticking) him off," runner-up Jim Furyk said with a smile. "That's about all I have to say about that. Wish you'd just quit chapping him so much and make him come back and keep proving stuff. Tiger Woods is always Tiger Woods. He can't be 100 percent every week, but I'm sure he answered a lot of questions today."
Tiger put on a show this past week at The Memorial, and probably proved a lot to the media. "It was just a matter of time," the world's No. 1 player said. "It came together this week."He shot a final round 65 on Sunday and hit 14 out of 14 fairways, bringing his total to 49 out of 56 fairways for the week.
This was his 20th come from behind victory, including second for this year. At Bay Hill he came from five behind and he started the final round at Memorial four behind. This also brings him to 4th place in the Fed Ex Cup standings and of course makes him the strong favorite to win the U.S. Open at Bethpage in two weeks.
As a side note, since the 2006 British Open, Woods has won 19 out of 35 tournaments for a 54.2% winning percentage.
I think for Tiger Woods, the perfect storm is brewing. He is almost fully back from the injury. His swing is coming into form again. He is coming closer and closer to breaking Jack's record.
The rest of this year could be really ugly for the other players.
