Well, from almost missing the cut to winning the tournament! Tiger went 20 under par and beat his next competitor by 3 strokes. He took the lead on Saturday and never looked back. He has an incredible record when he is leading a tournament after 54 holes, 36-1. It's his 69th career win and he has to be considered one of the greatest closers of all time. This tournament really didn't showcase the best golfers in the world, except for Tiger, but he still showed that he just cannot be beat when he has the lead on a Sunday morning.
I took this photo of Tiger at the CA Championship at Doral Country Club in Miami, FL a couple of years ago during a practice round. I was also able to get his autograph (one of the few he gives out) and it resides in the Tiger Shrine in our home.
Next week, Tiger plays in the Bridgestone Invitational, which is a World Golf Championship event held in Akron, Ohio at the Firestone South golf course. Since Fig and I will be in Ohio next week for my nephew Kyle's wedding, we are planning to go to the tournament on Sunday with our friend Sharon and get to see Tiger in person! For those of you who may not know, Fig is Tiger's #1 fan, even though she has never played golf. Let's hope he makes the cut and is in contention again. He has now won 4 tournaments this year, more than anyone else and we'd love to be there to see him win #70!
