Today was the most dramatic and exciting round of golf I have ever seen Tiger Woods play, ever. If you missed it, you missed one for the ages. It was a sheer delight to watch. What made it dramatic was the fact that Tiger Woods was clearly limping, grimacing, and playing in serious pain. After the round he admitted that his knee is feeling worse. Also dramatic were the two huge down hill eagle putts–both with huge breaks, one from 65 feet–that Tiger sunk on the 13th and 18th, as well as the “lucky” chip in on 17, with the ball hopping in the hole on one bounce. The thousands of fans were all going nuts! Electrifying!
Tiger Woods has the flair for the dramatic. Every major he’s won, he has had the lead or share of the lead after 54 holes. Well, today, with his eagle putt on 18, Tiger grabbed the outright lead over Lee Westwood at -2.
Game over.
