Eye Of The Tiger

Tiger fans live here. Tiger actually makes the game of golf exciting…and you know how exciting watching golf on TV can be. Tiger Woods is the best of the best…a regular Clutch Cargo. Did you see his win last Sunday at the Arnold Palmer Invitational in Florida? It came down to the last hole and he had to birdie the hole to win…he was tied at 9 under with Bart Bryant.

Who is Bart Bryant you ask? He might as well be Bart Simpson. Bryant would have had a play-off situation if he was up against anyone else…but he was playing Tiger. In order for Tiger to birdie; he had to hit a great drive, an iron in a gusty wind that had just kicked up, and sink a 25-foot sweeping, breaking putt…and so he did. Now, no one will know ole Bart …Tiger has a way of doing that to people.

If you were a betting man…or woman…you would have to bet on Tiger. It didn’t matter that he hadn’t made a putt longer than 18 feet all week. You would have to know that when it counts…he does it. He is clutch. He is amazing. He is Tiger. And like all tigers, they stake out their territory…this was gonna be Tiger’s hole.

I got to thinking that Tiger’s Dad gave him the right name…how did he know all those years ago that his son would have the eyes of a tiger when staring down a putt? Thank goodness he didn’t name him Bubba (although Bubba Watson can crush a ball!) If you had to put your money on a Bubba or a Tiger …now who would you pick?

Tiger has 5 consecutive PGA tournaments in a row…He’s got his eye on this week’s tournament at Doral (and another eye on the Master’s next month.) Will he make it six? It will be fun to watch.…go Tiger go.
