Guess Whose Back?!

And boom goes the dynamite. Tiger Woods is back and ready to take over the golf world once again.

I had not thrown myself back into the golf world until this weekend when I was at the gym hoping to see the Elite Eight game but the CBS feed wasnt working so I watched the golf tournament. It looked like it was Sean O'Hair tournament to lose because he was dominating the field up by four-plus strokes during Saturday and then ended up being up five strokes on Woods. Also the only reason Woods was in the final pairing was because he chipped in a bogey shot after hitting the water on 18.

O'Hair and Woods played a couple rounds together although it had been all Woods so far. Woods had been lying in the weeds all round long and then O'Hair started to get nervous by bogeying a couple holes with Tiger staying -4. Then he hits a birdie while O'Hair bogeys the hole being them all even. Uncharacteristically, Tiger bogeys 17th with a lead after going for the pin and landing directly in the bunker. They were all-squared going into the 18th with Dan Hicks reminding us of this every two to four minutes which became very annoying and how Tiger had buried people before on 18th at Bay Hill.

Well Dan Hicks didnt have the announcer's jinx because Tiger hit on on the fairway then stuck in 10ft on the pin, and birdied the hole with a giant fist pump. I think this proves once again that every golfer in the PGA is afraid to be in the final group with Tiger especially when Tiger is trailing. O'Hair finished +3 with a 73 and that usually is the score of the guy playing with Tiger

He hasnt lost a step and there isnt a reason to think he is not the favorite for the Masters in two weeks.

-Charlie.
