People, you have to face facts, Tiger is the greatest golfer of all time and if you don't belive that... ask God.

It is how Tiger recovers from these shots that make him great. He never gives up.

But Stephen Ames had a point. Look at how many people Tiger hits with wayward drives. Two last week at the PGA and one today in Akron. And anything can happen as evidenced by Tiger's 4 bogeys in a row in today's round.

Ah! Ames was punished for his hubris, because, let's face it, Woods is a golf god. (9&8 is the pro equivalent of whipping your johnson out on the way to the women's tee after duffing your tee shot.)

There seems to be certain qualities in the greatest of athletes that just can't be taught. They are actually writing the next textbook as they perform.

looks like mr. pelz forgot to add in the variable of concentration. tiger's mind is as sharp as an ancient handcrafted katana, and it makes phil's look like a butter knife.

Technically he could have beaten him 10&8 but who's counting. The other thing to mention is that he (Tiger) predicted 9&8 after he heard Ames' comments. You definitely don't want to get this tiger mad.

Stephen Ames trash talked Tiger before their match at the 2006 WGC- Accenture Match Play Championship. When asked of his chances against Tiger, Ames said, "Anything can happen ... especially where he's hitting the ball."

Tiger summarily disposed of Ames the next day 9&8. Nine and eight: You cannot get beat any quicker in match play, not over 18 holes. Who's next?

I think Dave got caught up in the moment. Very uncharacteristic of Mr. Pelz and his comments could only added to the fire in Tiger's belly.

Obviously, Mr. Pelz he hasn't been able to scientifically test & chart how much focus, determination and motivation Tiger builds based on "competitive" media comments.

Phil certainly has great skills but we don't see the same "Gladiator" instints in him like those seen in Tiger.

Not only does Tiger have the skills, he has "THE FIRE". That's where Tiger stands apart from the crowd.

Not only has Phil 3 putted from 10 feet, he's 4 pu...

2006-08-21T07:44:00.000-07:00

Not only has Phil 3 putted from 10 feet, he's 4 putted from 5 feet.

Pelz is a genius and I've read his short game bible a few times...

But right now I'm not sure even Jack would beat Tiger the way Tiger is playing right now.

2006-08-21T07:30:00.000-07:00

Looks like when Pelz ventures into areas of opinion that don't rely on statisical support, he's just as fallible as anyone. Mickelson probably pays Pelz gobs of cash, so I can forgive him this one misstep.

What's the dig against Ames about?
