Tiger Woods got past a huge hurdle in his quest for perfection in 2008. Today, he routed Stewart Cink, 8 and 7, in the 36-hole finale to the World Match Play Championship. Match play is more volatile than stroke play, so Tiger winning this championship has set him up to run the table in 2008. JB Holmes had Tiger 3 down with 5 to go in the 1st match, and in the quarterfinal Aaron Baddeley had a chance to put Tiger away with at least 2 very makeable birdie putts. Of course, Tiger escaped both rounds with a victory.
Tiger has now won 6 tourneys in a row dating back to last year. He has won all 3 tourneys he has played in 2008. He looks resolved to win every tournament this year, not just the Grand Slam.
If he does, it would be the greatest feat in golf ever.
