Tiger Woods was on pace to be Masters Champion once again. A rare Green that Woods hadn't "Mastered" since 2005. But once again there was controversy. Only this time it was on the course. Friday Tiger Woods took a short wedge up to the 15th green. Tiger must have been hitting L1 and X a litttle to much, because his ball hit an invisible wall and bounced back into the drink. A devestating blow to a stellar round, and of course people counted Tiger out. Its what people do.
The same people have done the same thing to Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, Jerry Rice, Peyton Manning, Adrian Peterson, and more recently Robert Griffin III, and Kobe Bryant. People love to count out the best players. But what makes them the best? Its their willingness to prove you wrong. So the next time you want someone to fail, cheer them on. They aren't as fueled that way.
Tiger woods took a drop, and poised as only Tiger could be, stuck the ball with little spin, within 5 feet and made the put for bogey. Most likely the best Bogey we'll ever get to witness in our lifetime under these circumstances. Tiger Woods the scandal, struggling with his game, finally getting things back on track, and willed his way to a bogey, against all odds. It was the perfect story. The perfect way to pave the way to his 5th Green Jacket. Which would second him only to Jack. But it wasn't to be.
Woods had said after his round, “I went back to where I played it from, but went two yards further back and I tried to take two yards off the shot of what I felt I hit. And that should land me short of the flag and not have it either hit the flag or skip over the back. I felt that was going to be the right decision to take off four (yards) right there. And I did. It worked out perfectly.” This coupled with viewers some how having a direct line to Masters Officials, called and complained. Crying like little bitches if you ask me, but hey you probably aren't asking me.
Did Tiger break a rule? Yes. did he cheat? No. Should he have known the rules a little better? Yes. If you were a few minutes late for work to your Mcdonalds job, and someone from Burger King across the street saw you straggling in at 8:05 and decided to "annonomously" call in and tell your boss, that makes you a bitch. Plain and simple.
Congrats Adam Scott.
