Tiger Holds Them Off

Holding off charges by Ernie Els and Woody Austin, Tiger played good enough to capture his first major of the year and his 13th for his career. He is just 5 shy of Jack Nicklaus’ record 18 majors.
As expected, Stephen Ames struggled playing with Tiger and finished 2-over.
Obviously, the 63 on Friday was the turning point, it allowed him to vault to the lead which he would not give up. That was the difference between the Masters and US Open earlier in the year, Tiger had that one fantastic round that got him into the lead.
Phil Mickelson says he’s playing pain free, and he had a decent final round. I expect him to start playing up to standard starting with the FedEx Cup events.
Vijay Singh was disappointing, but given his crazy travel schedule the last month, it was hardly surprising.
