Have to give it to Yang. That hybrid iron on the 18th was some pressure shot. How many would have choked playing with Tiger in that situation? He wasn’t going to be denied. Mucho congrats to Yang.

Evidently the PGA is a racist event, put on by racist sponsors, attended by racist fans and broadcast by racist networks. How else could he have lost. Holder will undoubtedly demand the title be awarded to Woods, due to racism.

Tiger appears to have muscled up. Has anyone attributed this to his putting woes?

His problem was not the putts; it was his drives. He was continually pulling his rear end out of the fire with saves after making poor drives. Consequently, he did not have those moments when he could hit a wedge or a short iron and drop the ball by the flagstick.

That forced him to try to make those superhuman-type putts he often makes. But you cannot win when you have to do that on almost every hole. He did miss a couple of easy ones, though.

After round 2 (or 3) some reporter asked Tiger if he’s ever choked in a tourney.

The question seemed to really get to him since he refused to answer rather just shook his head.

My prediction.....next year at this time Y.E. Yang will be a distant memory and Tiger will be within in 1 or 2 of Jack’s majors and have passed him in overall wins.

If anyone wants to make a bet, I will give them three golfers of their choice and I get Tiger. At the end of 12 months we add up the wins, any takers?

Very glad to hear that someone finally didn’t wilt against Tiger. Hopefully, he won’t win next year either.

My favorite moment of the tournament was when Paddy Harrington scored an 8 on a par 3 hole. That's the way I'd have played it and it does my heart good to see a top pro come down to my level once in a while.

It was one tournament, he got 2nd .. again.

It has happened before and will again.

I feel for Padraig, he has a ball-cleanliness fetish, washed his ball what , 3 times on 8? wow.

I'm no golf fan, but if I were I wouldn't want one guy winning every tournament. Tiger has done magnificently and, although he has thrown hissy fits in the past when losing, he seems to have reacted in a sportsman like manner to his loss, a sign of greater maturity.

How boring would it be if every time he went out he won, people would get so they didn't ever watch and other players wouldn't sign up to play.

One loss, or several losses, does not a career make.

It is no surprise that a Korean is great at golf. Just look at Kim Jong Ill

Pyongyang media say Kim enjoys golf, having shot multiple holes-in-one during his first try at the game. He reportedly aced five holes and finished 38 under par on the golf course. The "Dear Leader" routinely shoots three or four holes-in-one per round, the government-controlled media reported.
