What is a Tiger apologist?Is anyone surprised he's doing well at the Buick? He knows this course inside and out. He always does well. That said, he's got a 1 stroke lead. Love seeing the Tiger apologists going nuts in here.

You can't spell backpedal without L-O-LIs anyone surprised he's doing well at the Buick? He knows this course inside and out. He always does well. That said, he's got a 1 stroke lead. Love seeing the Tiger apologists going nuts in here.
because we don't get to see every shot from anyone elseI realize that tiger has very high expectations of himself, bu he is a first class ##### when he plays poorly. Throwing his clubs, cursing, visibly frustrated, swinging at he ground etc. It's pretty lame IMO. I don't relly see anyone else out there doing that kinda stuff.

It really isn't confusing.

No way - I saw them laughing - can you really hear it? If so that would be awesome (seriously).Did I just hear tiger or his caddy fart on the 18th fairway while waiting? He busted up laughing afterwards.

It has really skewed the way the average fan looks at the game. If someone just got privy to golf in the last 4 years....they are gonna habe a rough rest of their life.

He moved into first place in the FedEx Cup standings and padded his lead on the money list with another $918,000 after tying Vijay Singh's record of three Buick Open titles.
With the 69 wins, he trails just Jack Nicklaus (73) and Sam Snead (82).
Woods reached victory No. 69 at the age 33 years, 7 seven months -- almost seven years quicker than Nicklaus and eight years sooner than Snead.
Dating to the 2006 British Open, Woods has won 21 of 39 starts on the PGA Tour.

He does have some bad habits.The smashing the club is bad, I only saw 1 or 2 guys throw clubs the tournaments I workedMost curse and get angry, with some air swings etc but the club slamming is bad from himNorman Einstein said:because we don't get to see every shot from anyone elseI realize that tiger has very high expectations of himself, bu he is a first class ##### when he plays poorly.

The alleged "Tiger Woods farting" video is making its way around the blogosphere, yet everyone may be too quick to blame Eldrick for this mighty rip during the Buick Open.Unless CBS had a special microphone right next to his ###, it doesn't seem plausible that Woods could be the culprit. Yes, just a few seconds before blast-off, we see Woods loosening his hamstrings by kicking his legs up behind him, followed by the alleged fart, then a shot of he and caddy Steve Williams chuckling, but this is all circumstantial and hardly implicates Tiger.If that strange splattery noise heard was, in fact, a purposeful release, it must have come from inside CBS' studio, where Jim Nantz and David Feherty were commentating. If so, this is Nantz's second brush with a noisy sphincter on-air in the same calendar year, which, to me, makes him the prime suspect once again.Tiger Woods Releases Some Gas On The Way To Buick Open Victory [TPS]

Just looking at the leaderboard, I see some familiar names like Justin Leonard (World #32), Jim Furyk (World #10), Chad Campbell (World #55), Rory Sabbatini (World #38), Stuart Appleby, Rocco Mediate, Paul Goydos (World #68), and John Senden (World #89).Wasn't this basically a JV tournament? On Mike and Mike this morning they said something along the lines of there not being a single player in the world top 100 that played in this thing other than Tiger. While Tiger winning this thing is somewhat impressive, it's about the same level of achievement as an NFL team beating the Detroit Lions last year.
considering 100 or so signed up and the tour card pretty much means you are at least top 200 material I don't think I even have to look. Maybe top 10?Wasn't this basically a JV tournament?

http://sports.yahoo.com/golf/pga/news?slug...p&type=lgnsHe improved to 36-1 when he has the outright lead after 54 holes. Woods has four wins this season—twice as many as anyone else on the PGA Tour—in just 11 starts since returning from knee surgery.
He moved into first place in the FedEx Cup standings and padded his lead on the money list with another $918,000 after tying Vijay Singh’s record of three Buick Open titles.
With the 69 wins, he trails just Jack Nicklaus (73) and Sam Snead (82).
Woods reached victory No. 69 at the age 33 years, 7 seven months—almost seven years quicker than Nicklaus and eight years sooner than Snead.
He said the growing collection of trophies is “all over the place,” including his house and his mother’s.
Since the 2006 British Open, Woods has won 21 of 39 starts on the PGA Tour.
Woods, playing for the first time since missing the cut at the British Open in July, got off to a brutal start at the Buick Open. He shot a 71 in the first round and said it was probably the worst putting performance of his career, leading to him skipping his post-round practice session because he was so mad.
It only added to his legacy because he went from a tie for 95th to a victory, the largest jump he’s made from the first round in a tournament he ended up winning.
Woods roared back into contention with the best five-hole start of his career—beginning 6 under in the second round—en route to a 9-under 63 for his best score in relation to par in four years. His 65 in the third round gave him a one-shot lead into Sunday.
The three-shot victory was his most lopsided since winning the 2008 Buick Invitational by eight.
“He’s just laughing at all of us,” Letzig said. “I wish he’d stop coming to the tournaments I’m coming to. Seriously, though, I love it.”

Pulled up the new rankings, eh? Because I noticed Senden (the only one who was ever in contention; Sabbatini's late run was too little too late) moved up 18 spots. None of the names you quoted who are top 100 were ever within a country mile of challenging for the win.At the beginning of the coverage CBS put up these numbers in a graphic:Just looking at the leaderboard, I see some familiar names like Justin Leonard (World #32), Jim Furyk (World #10), Chad Campbell (World #55), Rory Sabbatini (World #38), Stuart Appleby, Rocco Mediate, Paul Goydos (World #68), and John Senden (World #89).Wasn't this basically a JV tournament?
