tiger hangs on for win
Tiger’s back…well, sort of. Tiger did not have his “A” game or maybe even “B” game, but grinded out a victory, with a little bit of luck on the last hole. Tiger hit his 2-iron approach so bad, it probably should’ve have ended up in the water. It didn’t, though, because the shot was so bad it went too much to the right to reach the water. Commentator Nick Faldo said it best when he remarked, “What was that?!” With his excellent swing analysis, Faldo pointed out that Tiger’s still got some kinks in his swing.
Yesterday’s marathon 31-holes at the Buick Invitational proved to be quite grueling down the stretch. Tiger ended up winning by 3 strokes, but it really was very close until the last hole, which Tom Lehman bogeyed. Charles Howell finish tied for second, too, but things could have been different. He pured a sand wedge into the 18th hole for what could have been eagle, only that it bounced out and off the green into the pond. He bogeyed the hole. Such is luck.
