Back in the day this Masters would have been in the books. The "old" Tiger would have won this Masters in a runaway. All said and done, his 74 on Saturday included eight missed opportunities and Sunday he botched a three footer on 12 for par, didn't birdie 13, missed the eagle at 15, and didn't birdie 16, 17, or 18.
It didn't happen this time but there are tell tale signs that his game is returning to form. The front nine 31 with four birdies, an eagle, multiple fist pumps, and huge roars show that the game is still there. Overall though, the "process" is still in the works, most notably the putting.
The full swing looked much more grooved and ingrained and even Tom Watson said it looks like Tiger finally has the club in the proper position at the top of the backswing.
Once the swing changes fully click in creating more consistency, and the putting improves just a bit, Tiger should soon be hoisting a lot more trophies.
Whether you are a Tiger fan or Tiger hater, there is no doubt his game is capable of bringing unmatched electricity to the final round of major championships.
