Tiger putting for the win…comes up about 2 inches short. Rocco needs to make this or it’s over. ---

Mediate is out of miracles, and coming off that knee injury, is this Woods’ most impressive win? ---

I just noticed that Tiger’s caddy even has endorsements on his shirt. Steve Williams makes over $1M a year carrying a golf bag. ---

I think Rocco got the yips a little bit, but he’s got nothing to be ashamed of. He pushed Tiger as hard as we’ve ever seen anybody do it. 14 Majors. That’s just a ridiculous stat. ---

[QUOTE=Kid\_A] Wow…and that is why we watch sports. [/QUOTE] We watch to see the impossible, to see great athletes do the unthinkable and stretch their bodies and psyches to the limit.
