While his major finishes have left a little to be desired so far this year, Tiger’s performances otherwise have been pretty good. He looked very much in control of his game this weekend as he won the tournament he hosts with a solid round on Sunday. I am telling you, it’s only a matter of time until he gets that 15th major.

There are some that have said that TW’s third win this year was a cake walk. a weak field. (note, no one on this site said this. it came from yahoo sports) I personally don’t think a field with Hunter Mahan in it is weak. nor Adam Scot Stewart cink, ricky barnes VJ for gods sake.Ben Crane. Kyle Stanley. My point is this. At that level with over 10 players ranked in the top 20, no field is weak on the tour.
