Tiger Wins Ugly
It wasn’t the most convincing win of Tiger’s career, that’s for sure, but he was the last man standing at the WGC – CA Championship at Doral. And you have to give a lot of credit to Brett Wetterich for hanging tough with Woods the entire back nine. Woods reminded me today of football teams that play just well enough to win when they don’t have their best stuff, but manage to just hang in long enough to pull it together.
And how does this win bode for Tiger’s confidence going into Augusta? I’d say that he’s got some work to do yet, especially with the flat stick, and of course, his driver. I also think Tiger saw a different Wetterich today than the guy that teamed with him on the Ryder Cup team last year. Wetterich gives the appearance of someone that walked off the World’s Longest Hitter tour, but the man has game and his short-iron play was outstanding today.
Oddly, the tour heads now to Houston, the week before the Masters. What? Somehow, not all is right with the world.
