This was so exciting. Just for the simple reason that, since Bob May 9 years ago, someone really stood up to TW in a major. It's obvious Tiger didn't have his best stuff today, and watching around 8th hole, when Padraig made 8, I initially thought "ah, here's another major Tiger gets handed to him". Because most of the other guys under par for the tournament were still 3-4 shots back. Glover and Stenson had a lot of ground to make up, Els didn't do much of anything today. Padraig was pretty much too far back after the 8th hole debacle. Vijay's chances went out the window yesterday. The same could have been said about Bethpage in 02, as far as TW winning with a "B" game, although Phil made a few questionable plays there on Sunday. But, still, the golf course wasn't exciting to watch, but the tournament itself was exciting. Yang is awesome. This is good for golf. I'm a huge Tiger fan, I'm in awe of him. But over the past 10 years, it got to be boring to watch him walk away with major after major while the closest pursuers didn't push him at all.
Watching TGC tonight, somebody, maybe Rosaforte, said something about Yang being a Jack Fleck to Tiger's Hogan. Nonsense.
