Tiger is the best golfer in the world again and even on a horrible day where he loses 2 strokes on one hole when he actually hit the flag, he proved it. He hits a great shot that hits the flag and ricochets into the water for a one stroke penalty. He then proceeds to drop his ball down and hit a second shot within 18" of flag. He gets a bogey but what composure he showed. He has nerves of steel.
He then wakes up and finds out they have added two penalty strokes for improper drop. His nerves of steel are definitely going to be tested. I just don't see how he can recover from this but that does not mean he is not still the best golfer in the world who had a run of bad luck on one hole and it actually ends up costing him 4 strokes.
I don't buy into this crazy notion he should withdraw from the Masters because he signed an incorrect score card. The powers to be did not decide to add a two stroke penalty until after he signed the card and they have changed the rule that allows him to stay in the Masters.
One final thought on one issue that needs to be address. I can't stand the fact that some nut sitting at home can call in and point out errors by players and/or officials. I play golf and love the sport but it is just the dumbest thing I have ever heard that a professional competition can be influenced by some yahoo sitting in front of his big screen TV and he probably stopped and rewound the shot a hundred times. Can you imagine any other sport allowing this to happen? Sheer Lunacy!!!!
