Wither Woods?

[heyabbott]

Down 2 to Phil going into the final round, comes out down 3 to the winner Phil.

Everyone wanted to see Tiger roar back and win one from behind, but he lost ground.

Does he get a pass from the media because he was preoccupied with thoughts of his ill father, or does the greatest golfer in history, to the age of 30, get labled as choking in a major?

He lost a whole stroke to a guy who put up a 69 in the final round of a major?
Wow. What a ****ing choker. This Woods guy is supposed to be good!?!?

Tiger is superman, superman doesn't lose to Inspector Henderson

Hey, I'm with you. That Mickelson feller blows, just blows. What the ****'s he ever done anyway?

 

[Flying Headbutt]

Eat. And sweat.

And produce babies with a stunningly beautiful woman. And win the past two majors and two of the past three Masters.
Otherwise, not ****, I say. Not ****. ****in' Woods oughta retire.

 

[abesimpson22]

Tiger's whole career, all we've heard is he needs a rival to complete his greatness. Well, he's obviously f-ing got one, doesn't he?

 

[Fubar]

You wanna know who the choker is? Jim Gallagher, Jr. That guy didn't even freakin' show up!

 

[Ralph Waldo Henderson]

I just thought I'd respond to this thread so it can be an entirely D.C. area/Terp thread. Because that's the only redeeming point to the thread.

(Then I try to post).

Oh **** ... and Fubar and abesimpson have to crash the party. Oh well.

 

[Flying Headbutt]

How about that David Duval? Didn't even make the cut! Neither did Bart Bryant. And a bunch of other guys.

 

[abesimpson22]

No matter how they try to spruce up the course, The Masters remains a putting contest, as we saw today. That was almost comical, watching those guys f. up five-foot putts all day, and three-putt from 10 feet.

You gotta speed it up there Ralph, you damn choker.

 

[Flying Headbutt]

Yeah, he should have shot a 64 today instead. It can't be that hard.

That's not an entirely bad combination of life activities. Throw in "****" and you've hit the Man's Dream Trifecta.

PS -- If anyone sucked it this weekend, it's Charles Howell III.

 

[Jones]

Okay, I know I hate Tiger, and I'll admit that I missed most of today, but all week I heard that "Tiger doesn't give up, he won't give up," and it made me want to hurl.

If the guy never gives up, he would have once -- just once -- coming from behind.

Nothing better than knowing he had to put that jacket on Phil.

Superman - not human.
Tiger Woods - human.

This is the second thread today ripping Tiger for no come-from-behind major wins.

But as far as ripping him for this tournament, I haven't seen anybody point out that The Masters champ has come from the final pairing for 15 YEARS IN A ROW!

So apparently, it's not just Tiger. If you're behind at Augusta and need to be aggressive to catch up, there are too many holes that will kill you.

It's now up to 16 years -- at least according to the graphic CBS put up as Phil started his round.

Problem is he does have come-from-behind victories at Augusta. He was down 6-7 strokes against DiMarco going into round three last year and it wasn't like DiMarco faded and flamed out. I don't think he had the lead going into the third round of three out of his four Masters. The field isn't a bunch of clubs pros, at least not most of them.

I'm so sick and tired of this argument. It's asinine.

You know why the guy hasn't come from behind to win any majors? Because he's already got a ****load of major victories where he DIDN'T HAVE TO.

Seriously, when this becomes the biggest indictment against a player, his detractors are officially scraping the bottom of the barrel.
