Here you go again. Lies lies and more lies.

That's not my claim.

My claim isn't outrageous.

And you're doing everything in your power to make it personal.

There's nothing to let go. He's in a slump, hopefully he can end it. Part of the drama coming into this year's British was that it's generally accepted that the slump started with this tournament last year and this would be the time for him to rise above and over come it. Hopefully he will, so far it doesn't look so good.

This is just silly: If we must revisit just to get you to admit you are wrong, ok. I think it's it'll do you some good. A brief history. I good-naturedly pointed out that Tiger triple-bogeyed the first hole. This was your response:

"This is not his year. IMHO once he makes enough for next year's card he should take the rest of the year off. Needs to get his head back on straight, he's not in the game."

I responded that he's won four tournaments this year. This means (a) his place on the money list is secure, and (b) he's not playing nearly as badly as the perception you are gleaning from the media. Many of those who cover golf know even less about the game than you do. Like you, they are just repeating what they heard. But there's a problem: Players whose "games are off" or who need to get their "head on straight" do not beat fields by five strokes. As always, this is not an indication of malice and insincerity on your part, just ignorance. Too bad you never let that stop you.

So does Tiger Follow your advice? Nope. He goes out and shoots under par the rest of the way. He has a very realiztic chance of winning the whole thing. You don't get out of a slump by sitting on the bench after all.
