Raise your hand if you watched the final round of "The Memorial" ..................  Anyone??

Wow...that finish was insane!!   He looked like the Tiger of old today.......  I have to admit Jacks event is my favorite "non-major" PGA event of the year.  yea, I'm biased.....as a former Columbus area native. What an amazing final round........

I was keeping up with it during my round today, and caught the last few holes when I got home. Tiger is looking great, can't wait for the US Open.

The flop shot Tiger holed for a deuce on #16 today is right up there with any shot he's holed coming down the stretch to win an event.....I'd compare it to the one he holed on #16 at Augusta.   Today is a close second because Augusta is a major.....

It was exciting. Tiger closed it out with style, finesse and poise. Amazing how that course chewed people up. Rickie shooting 84 after being close to the top, woah.

Yea...that was nuts.   I think Fowler got swallowed up in the moment playing with Tiger on Sunday.  I was hoping Rickie would do well......

LOL...I wasn't feeling that way.

I thought Tiger needed birdie on #14......when he missed the chip, I thought his chances were slim.   I thought he needed eagle on #15....a perfect moment for a " Sunday tiger moment" , but he missed the putt. When Tiger bounced over #16........I thought it was over for him, and I've been watching his heroics since before he turned pro.  I honestly thought he would do great to save par from there...........LOL

That is what is great about these finishes........he does the unthinkable.

If you get a feeling about lottery numbers would you let me know?

But then again, what the hell do I know?

Did you hear what Jack said about that shot?!?!  Greatest shot he's ever seen given the circumstances.

That shot was an all-timer not doubt.  Tournament on the line, out of the rough, green sloping away, water (not that those guys care about that) - and he takes a full-swing cutting through the hay and lets it roll right at the hole with the perfect amount of borrow...

Unlike Bay Hill where Tiger basically built a big lead & cruised home, he took this tournament from Sabbatini. He went from one down to one up in the span of about five minutes - the sick hole-out from behind 16 coupled with a rattled Sabbatini missing his par putt. That was an 'Old Tiger' style win right there...he hung in there, then pounced. I would imagine his confidence just shot up about five notches. Look out, tour. He's back.

And yes. I watched every minute of it. Watched TGC until 2 o'clock, then had to endure 30 minutes of NASCAR until CBS came on a 2:30.

I doubt he's back, we'll see in two weeks how back he is. Its great to see him win again, but i think his dominance is over.  As for me, i am going to take the field during the US open, its a good time to bet againts Tiger because everyone thinks he will be winning..

Chickenshit. It's always been a good time to take the field. The guy hasn't won 51% of his majors.

I'll rescind calling you a chickenshit if you pick one - even two players - who you like to win.

I like the Kuchar pick.  I'd add Phil & Bubba & Hunter to the mix and while he has not been "on" of late I would not rule out Rory.  But in fact there are a dozen or so competitors, including Tiger, that have a chance.

I decided to add that maybe that is what is different about the field today, no one, including Tiger, believes Tiger is as unbeatable as he once was.

Olympic is infamous for producing the wrong winner. Fleck over Hogan, Casper over Palmer, Janzen over Stewart.

I can see the last couple of holes coming down to Tiger & someone like Zach Johnson (who isn't a bad pick now that I think about it), with Johnson prevailing.
