Well, there’s only one player with a chance at the Grand Slam.
So what do you think Trevor Immelman’s chances are?
Tiger Woods wants to win every major tournament from now until he retires, but he really wanted this Masters.
Wanted it for his 14th major title, pulling him within four of Jack Nicklaus’ record.
Wanted it for a fifth green jacket, one more than Arnold Palmer and within one of Jack.
Wanted it because he believes he can win golf’s Grand Slam, and said so earlier this year.
“I learned my lesson there with the press. I’m not going to say anything,” Woods said.
Oh, c'mon Tiger, it's not our fault. When you tie for 30th in putting with K.J. Choi and Boo Weekley, when you make only 11 birdies (zero in the first round), you’re fortunate to finish second.
“I kept dragging the blade. I wasn’t releasing it, wasn’t getting the overspin like I normally do,” Woods said of his balky stroke. “For some reason, on the longer putts I was great. On the shorter putts, I just kept dragging it.”
Woods figured if he played the last seven holes Sunday in 3-under-par, those ahead of him would start hyperventilating. It was a good plan, except he shot even-par in that stretch, including a three-putt bogey at No. 14.
That was only Woods’ second three-putt all week, proving his point that his putter didn’t necessarily cost him strokes, it just didn’t help him gain many.
It was simply too little and much too late for Woods, who got help from everyone but Immelman in the final round.
Maybe Woods should be lauded for hanging in there and finishing second.
Yeah, like he would ever count a moral victory.
