Tiger Woods Will Eat Your Children
Golf February 3rd. 2008, 2:47pm 
As I documented yesterday, Tiger was tied for 5th place after a disappointing 3rd round a Dubai.
Of course he came storming back like a golfer possessed. He shot a 7-under 65 today including 5 birdies on the last 7 holes. Ernie Els had a chance to force a playoff, but put his tee second shot in the water on 18.
Tiger may have been chuckling quietly as Els bogeyed the final hole. From The Golf Blog:
Tiger certainly doesn’t hate Ernie — other than some of his former agents, who could hate Ernie? — but, before heading out with Els to play the third round at Hoylake in 2006, Woods turned to somebody on the practice putting green and said coldly, ‘If I can break this big guy’s heart just one more time, maybe he’ll go away and stay away.
What a heartless bastard. You have to wonder what Elin sees in this guy.

Do you think Elin likes being fisted ? Maybe that’s what she sees in him.

It’s Tiger. Was this tournament ever in doubt even with
Greg NormanEls leading the way?February 3rd, 2008 at 2:55 pm
i get tired of all the tiger-slobbing that follows every shot he takes, but when he does shit like this, its hard to say its not warranted.
if only vijay singh wasnt so old, hes the only guy with the temperment to go up against tiger and not fold like a little bitch.

Tiger Woods is the most like Jordan of any athlete alive. That desire to just rip out his opponents heart like that.

Greatest golfer of all time, millionaire 100x over and soon to be billionaire, second most dominant athlete of his era…yeah, what does anyone see in this guy.
How is this different than going up to a co-worker and wishing “john doe over in cubicle B would get fired”?
It’s business, that’s all.

It was the second shot into the par 5 18th that Els put in the water. It was the same shot Tiger dumped in the water yesterday.
Tiger got over the water today on 18 but left himself an awkward like and he then hit a horrible chip. It was an unreal put he made to ultimately give him the win.
My boy Stenson could not get anything going today. He was even par on the day going to 17 but made some miscues trying to be aggressive on the last two holes. He needed a birdie and an eagle to tie Tiger.
Two clutch puts for Tiger on 17 and 18. He one putted every green on the back nine.

that “chip” in (hard to call that a chip with the face wide open) was pretty clutch too.
stenson looked pissed.

Really not sure why I wrote put, instead of putt, twice.
Moron.

Yeah, Stenson rimmed out three or four times on some pretty long PUTTS. I think that was the source of his frustration. He was underclubbing all day as well. His shots were dead on line most of the day but short.
Shocked Ernie didn’t find a way to birdie one of those final two holes (a driveable par 4 and then the par 5). Seems if he just played conservatively that he could come up with a bird on one of those two holes, 90% of the time. Guess he was going for the win though.
Despite his greatness, Tiger doesn’t come back like that very often.

I know - usually Tiger has a lead going into the final round and players in his group wilt under the pressure. That’s why I was (a little) surprised when I saw he came back.

Hey spencer, you watch the Big Break?
If so did you see that Don Donatello is caddying for Kevin Na?
February 3rd, 2008 at 4:29 pm
yea, ernie blew it.
meanwhile phil can’t make a putt and the two guys who can match up with tiger look like garbage.

Not a huge fan but way to to go JB Holmes. At the least, keeping us entertained.
For anyone actually watching the Super Bowl pregame show, you are gay.
