You can tell how far a former star has fallen by how much praise they can win for coming in 4th.

What would have been your finish in the Masters? No, don't tell me you're not a golfer, or in that league. You want to criticize, criticize based on your ability. He finished at 10 under when he was far below that going into the round. And he was the ONLY American in the hunt. Or don't you care about that?

As I said, you can tell how far a former star has fallen by the rediculous arguments people will make to build up a 4th-place finish.

“Well, he did a lot better than some 51-year-old blogger could do!!”

If we were measuring “champions” by my abilities, we’d have about 150 million world-class golfers.

Give me a couple of months, and a cushy job like President where I have plenty of time to work on my game, and I might be able to beat you. That is, if you haven’t played golf before. Otherwise, I might be hard-pressed. I do own my own clubs though — the curse of being left-handed and short, if you want to play golf you should probably own your own clubs.

As I tell my children — if you can’t be number one, strive to be better at everything than everybody who doesn’t really care about that thing. Let it be on your gravestone “He was pretty fast for a slow guy”.

Is Tiger “back” because he had his best round of golf in a long time, and still didn’t even have the best round of the day? I remember when he used to WIN TOURNAMENTS.
