In sports people make their own luck. The difference between a bad luck streak and a slump is the level of excuse mongering.

Intersting that last year Woods took the entire time between the US Open and British Open off, yet this year he decides to play a pretty low income event (only $810 grand for winning, not bad but pretty low for Tiger) on what is apparently a pretty easy course given that the entire top 12 were in double digits under par.

I have lots of clues. According to the bar Tiger has set for himself both with his previous performance and statements he is simply not playing up to his level. Those are the simple plainly obvious facts even you can verify in a whopping 5 minutes on the PGA Tour website.

This is your problem in a nutshell. You make outrageous claims, and when someone calls you on it you take it personally.

Example:
Your pronouncement that because Tiger tripled bogeyed the first hole of the British Open he should call it quits for the year.

I disagreed, and told you why. You are now in the game of looking all over the place for evidence that "proves" you right. But there's a problem. After the misfortune of a lost ball, Tiger actually played very much like a player who should win the whole thing.

Again, I don't think you are a bad person. And I would save you the trouble research. You're just wrong here and that's ok. Life goes on.

BTW, before you let this go any further, he teed off in the afternoon today, which means he's in the morning tomorrow. He should shoot a much better score. Just let it go dude. I'm not trying to score points off you here. You're just wrong in your assessment. That's all. It's not so bad.
