Super Tiger

Tiger Woods again showed why he the greatest clutch golfer in history with a sensational birdie putt on 18 ensuring he forces an 18 hole play off with the likable Rocco Mediate. Tiger is the ultimate entertainment machine. He may hit the occasional bad shot under pressure but he is always there in the finish with the clutch shot or the clutch putt.

Rocco Mediate played the round of his life on Sunday and I doubt he will be able to back it up two days in a row though he was entirely relaxed. It appeared he had given permission for NBC to record his conversations with caddy resulting in a great insight to the mind of a pro golfer.

3rd Round

4th Round



It is to be expected there will be a record crowd at today's play-off, effectively the most important single match in Tiger's career. All of the previous made for TV specials have drawn large crowds so imagine what we can expect with 2 such likable characters today. Tiger is 15-2 in play-offs, a record as formidable as any the game has seen. An 18 hole play-off should be made for prime time TV though, not for a local start time of 9am.
