Beep, Beep, Beep, Beep.....
Watch out everyone, that sound you here is everyone backing up to make sure Tiger wins his first tournament of the year. Tiger Woods is an amazing player, but I continue to be amazed how his aura leads all the world's best players to go into the tank.
Playing in the last group in the Buick Invitational at Torrey Pines, Tiger shot an even par 72 ... and he had the best score in his group by 3 strokes! (Sergio posted 75 and Rod Pampling put up 76, nearly the worst round of anyone who finished in the top 50.) And then, in a three-way playoff, Tiger just had to post two ho-hum pars and he walks away with the title.
Tiger may well be the best ever, but I am still waiting for someone to really push him to actually have to beat someone to take home the title.

Watching the playoff I had to wonder how many of us identified with Nathan Green as he chunked the little chip shot just off the green. Talk about a horrible feeling, doing it in front of your friends during your $20 nassau is bad enough but with a national t.v. audience watching had to be tough. I was somewhat surprised but proud of Green for his post tournament comments, however. I would imagine we'll be seeing lots from him in the future.
As to beating someone, well, Jose Maria ain't exactly chopped liver. I thought it was a nice way for Tiger to start his season and I look forward to a fun year of watching the game each and every week. Thanks for the chance to put in my two putts...er, cents.
