As Tiger Woods approached the 18th green, he was one of five players 10 under par. Adam Scott was eleven under.
Even though Tiger didn't have the lead, he had the crowd. The ovation with which he was greeted was charged. It had an edge nobody else's did.
Here's the impact Tiger has. Security officers at Augusta National Golf Club had not talked about golf all week. At least, I hadn't heard them, and I see the same guards, repeatedly, every day. When Tiger made his move Sunday, shooting a 31 on the front nine, the guards began to talk, excitedly, about Tiger.
Tiger is Michael Jordan in the NBA playoffs. He's Dale Earnhardt Jr. first at the finish line. He had a chance to catch Scott and go 11 under. He had a putt of more than 20 feet for a birdie.
Tiger was, before his personal life and then his game went bad, the greatest clutch putter since Jack Nicklaus. But he was less than clutch on 18; this putt never had a chance.
He walked off one stroke back. Scott still has three holes to play.
P.O.S.

Tiger's game is on the way back. He will win at least one major this year, maybe two. He singlehandedly makes golf interesting.

I was extremely happy to see Tiger fall off on the back 9 at Aususta. Personally, I hope Jack's record stays in tack! Jack was a classy guy, as are many of the past champions. Golfers like Arnold Palmer, Tom Watson, etc. etc...
Guy's who would stand out in the rain and sign autographs after the majors, especially for those kids who were looking for their idol's signature to add to their collection. Tiger has an "above it all" attitude, curses when he miss hits, and occasionally throws his clubs. He is no longer feared by players, heading into the final rounds, especially the younger golfers who are moving up the ranks quickly. He never plays well at the Ryder Cup because it is a TEAM sport and Tiger is all about himself. He always was and he always will be! Here's to Jack's record!
