Tiger Wins, Rory Bails
Rory disrespects Tiger, yet again.
Tiger is officially back and he’s as strong as ever. After storming into the lead with a round of 62 on Friday, Tiger seized control and never let go until the end. He built his lead to 6 shots after a round of 67 on Saturday. Jim Furyk was the closest with Zach Johnson just behind Furyk heading into Sunday. Today, Tiger put it into cruise control and added 4 more shots to his lead to get to a four round total of 22. Zach Johnson would match Tiger’s four shots to get to 15 under but still 7 shots behind Tiger. The win is the fourth for Tiger at this event.
Another bit of news is the odd withdrawl of Rory Sabbatini who did not cite a specific reason. Hours later, Rory’s agent released an official statement saying that Rory had shin splints and that was the reason why he withdrew. Rory was dead last and 28 shots behind Tiger at the end of the third round. Despite withdrawing, Rory will still collect the $175,000 for participating in the Target World Challenge. Rory is the first player in the 11-year history of the tournament to withdraw.
According to Waggle Room, an anonymous locker room attendant saw Rory clean out his locker Saturday night and overhead Rory say that he was headed for Maui. Tiger officially declined to comment when asked what he thought of the withdrawl, but you can tell he was not pleased at all. Tiger is the tournament host, so in a way, Rory did a dine and dash, a gas and run, whatever you want to call it, he did it.
This is just another example of Rory’s long history of being an idiot. First, there were the “Tiger beatable” comments. Then later on, he said he just didn’t like Tiger, and Tiger went on to pummel him at Bridgestone.
All I can say is, what goes around, comes around.
