Buick Invite

And................ I'm officially jealous.

As I look at it, it seems tiger just pulled ahead of him.

[dbornack]

Yep.. it's curtains for my boy.. haha..

Tiger was putting lights out today! Didn't miss one. You won't see anyone like him again in your lifetime. Enjoy it.

He picked a bad week to get hot.

Seriously, this has to be good for him. He gets to play at least one round with Tiger at Torrey Pines. Regardless of what happens tomorrow, that alone has to be great. And he's going to get some money and some FedEx Cup points on Sunday (barring a WD), so that has to be good. And he'll know he can shoot a low score at Torrey Pines South, which should come in handy for his confidence come June.

24 putts in a round, wow. I had 24 putts in a round once, and then my buddy said "hey, let's play the back nine too!"

Meanwhile, what happened to Anthony Kim today? No worries, though - it just means he gets a bit more rest before his win next week.

Kevin is a friend of mine from college, too. I think he has the perfect personality for something like this. He never gets too up or too down.

Looks like Tiger didn't lose his form at all lol...hope he can pull it out, but I hope someone contends with him as well.

I'm watching the Buick and my five year old son comes down. He looks at the TV and the following occurs:

My son: Dad, that's Tiger. He always wins.
Me: Yup, he wins about 40 percent of the time. He's pretty awesome.
My son: Yeah, dad, he's awesome. You wished you were Tiger, right, Dad?
Me: (Trying not to laugh) I only wish I had his skills.
My son: Me too, Dad. Tiger is the man.

Where does my son get it? A five year old recognizes the best player, possibly, ever. I guess it's true. Tiger's influence has no boundaries.

It is the same in our house too. When my son was 4, he watched golf with me and soon said "Dad, my favorite golfer is Tiger Woods; he's better than everyone else". He's now six, and being Canadian will humor me by saying Mike Weir is pretty good too

but Tiger is the guy for him.

Tiger is lights out man. He made everything on the greens today.

That is pretty awesome that your son realizes how good Tiger is at such a young age, do you have him playing yet? Hope he can follow in Tiger's footsteps b/c now youth is the primetime to get kids started in order to have a great career.

I admit that when Woods has an 8 shot lead going into Sunday the chances of high drama are slim. However, when he's playing like this it's quite fun to watch. You know he's going to hoist the trophy at the end but it's such a joy to watch him. I find myself watching just to see if he'll make a mistake. Has there ever been anyone like him? I think he'll have a little stiffer competition next week in the desert, though. That should be a fun one to watch as well. I will be watching the boys play in Phoenix, too. I like the way Cink, Leonard and Baddeley are playing.

This tournament is over.
Enjoy the show today.

My seven year old loves to repeat the mantra: "the best golfer ever" when Tiger comes on TV. I LOVE IT!

My 15 day old just sits there in my lap and spits up when I shout out loud at HIS FINAL ROUND PUTT ON #11: "Holy SH$#!!! NO F*&^ING WAY!!"

Yes, I take him to the range. He has a starter set: driver, iron, hybrid, putter and a wedge. He loves to hit the driver and he gets a kick out of putting. My favorite is whenever he sinks a putt: "You see that, Daddy?" all while wearing a smile from ear to ear.

Keep him loving putting and don't let anyone tell him how hard it is. If he keeps enjoying it and doing it well, you might someday see him at the Buick Invitational.

Can I have his autograph now?

I was at a kids' birthday party yesterday, didn't get home until just after 5pm eastern. I knew Tiger was going to be winning. I knew it'd be by a lot. And I STILL wanted to see every shot I could. Drives, long irons, chip shots, putts - it's pure artistry and greatness every step of the way.

I don't know if Jack is behind this apparent drive to keep his "legacy" alive. Last year, there were commercials seemingly blatantly taking jabs at Tiger's quest (e.g. "remember the record is still 18" or something like that). Now that Tiger seems poised to take that record down asap, I see a commercial extolling the # of Jack's second-place finishes, with the tagline, "he was just one or two shots away from winning THIRTY-NINE!"). F them. Tiger's routinely winning a major per year (or more) and 8+ tournaments. He will obliterate every one of Jack's marks and leave this argument moot.

I doubt Jack is behind this. But I haven't seen the ads, so I can't speak anything more than a guess. Can you give a link to the commercials you're referencing? The only Jack's score commercials I remember is the RBS ad with Jack's "Best Ball at the Masters" and the look of him turning in a scorecard that says 48.
