A Roaring Start

Woods Renews Attack on the Record Book

The above courtesy of the New York Times...........

On a rather cold (by California standards) and rainy Sunday afternoon......one Mr. Tiger Woods made a statement. Tiger won the Buick Open by 8 shots in a tournament that wasn't even this close. He simply obliterated the field. But Woods doesn't win tournaments on Sunday.

Tiger Woods wins tournaments the day of the start........usually Thursday. This is when there are no less than 150 eager golfers that tee it up and hope this is their day.

Most of the 150 "pros" are only trying to "make the cut"..... Tiger's only missed a handful in 10 plus years. Most play Thursday and Friday to get to the money round.

Tiger plays Thursday and Friday to get a true feel of the course.......then by Saturday and Sunday.......it's lights out.

With Sundays win........Tiger now has 62 Tour wins, tying him for forth with the legend Arnold Palmer....

Palmer, 78, was among the first to congratulate Woods, sending a statement prepared earlier in the day at Bay Hill Golf Club, where he was playing golf.

“I congratulate Tiger,” he said. “I’m sure that there are many, many more coming in the future. There isn’t any question about that. I wish him all the luck in the world.”

Let us just sit back and enjoy something we can tell our grand kids...........We actually witnessed and appreciated the greatest golfer of all time.

So....Phil Mickelson, Rory Sabbatini and Vijay Singh................you guys are good.........but you're in an era in which you are in the wrong place at the wrong time.

You are Charles Barkley, Karl Malone and Patrick Ewing against Michael Jordan.........

No fought of your own........but just a little bit ............over matched.........
