That he's telling the truth, probably.

Amazing how lucky Tiger was.  The players were greater back in Jack's day, then Tiger won 14 majors against weak competition, and now the players are great again.  Just let Tiger get on a major roll a

Now - to get to my point. Here we have a player who feels the disappointment and is so disappointed with himself that he doesn't mind expressing it. He gives the honest answer as he feels at that moment and you criticise him for it.

He could have said he'd have more chances, he's still young, Jack won at such and such an age, look at Freddy, three more chances this year etc. etc.

He didn't. He was honest.

Compares pretty favourably to the "I'm just going to go out and enjoy it, play one shot at a time" crap we're used to."

I think you have to respect him. It may sound defeatist, it may sound self-pitying. At least it was honest.


Well said, you cynical bastard.

Just saw Mickelson on TV take a 6 on a par-3, the commentators seemed to indicate he might have been better off taking stroke and distance and heading back to the tee. Probably a coin flip to play it as it lays versus taking a penalty do-over.

Not a coin flip. He could have missed it completely or it could have hit him. Should have gone back to the tee. Still had no shot even if he had got it out to where his third ended up.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

I would love to see a top view of that shot Bubba hit on the 2nd playoff hole! Congrats to Bubba, a lot of fun watching him get it.
