An exhibition in ball striking and control. I guess the matchup of Tiger and Ricky showed that red isn't quite ready to handover to orange...
I agree he never left and will win more majors, especially with the likes of Rory messing around and offering no competition. Tiger makes golf one of the most exciting sports to watch LIVE and is the greatest player ever!!!

Classic TW - and the way he looked so comfortable with his swing for the first time in ages.
The US Open is a different thing however and I still cant see him being ready for that just yet.

Why is the US open so different? To most it would be yes as most haven't won many if any majors but I'm pretty sure Tiger has the confidence and know how to win it. If he plays like he did today then I can't see many who can beat him. He's also getting alot closer to stringing 4 good rounds together.

US Open requires tight driving, tight ball control and excellent putting. Pars are good scores...much like the Memorial then.

Where are all the 'he is past it' forumers now eh :whoo:
I am not his biggest fan but lets be honest - that was the best sunday finish for ages and I am excited about some good events over the summer.
Okay so who would have tried the shot he did on 16, was there another option?I would have gone for it and knifed it in the water.:thup:

Not exactly a 'world class field' so I don't think Tiger can take too much from the win.
Remember he won an event before the Masters but still found his game wanting on the big stage.

No, it only had the world number one and two in the starting line up, so I suppose that's a pretty mediocre field. If it was such an average field you would expect an average player to step up and take an easy win. Tiger still has the killer instinct.
He looked different this week and that finish for a win was vintage.

It's certainly going to make the US Open an interesting prospect
Did you see the starting line up? Luke, Rory, Phil, bubba, Justin etc etc etc
Tiger can't win in some people's eyes!

Oh yeah, Rory is too busy chasing skirt around rather than playing golf, Phil withdrew with fatigue, Bubba hasn't played much golf since the Masters, Luke has lost his consistency and Justin who .............
Before we start elevating Tiger to mythical status lets see how he gets on at the US Open and see if his swing holds-up ...........................

luke lost his consistency? What did he do last week at wentworth?
And really Rory misses the cut and Phil withdraws what is anyone supposed to do, how could the field be any stronger?
...of course, he could have gone and played in the Wales open for some real competition !
... Or gone over to Asia and done a Westwood !!

It was a world class field, I think everyone in this post is aware how hard it has been for Tiger to look comfortable, we know its not a Major but it was a world class win, no excuses needed.
Your comments are misplaced and smack of uninformed Tiger hater!

Luke seams to play well at one event then poor at the next - ergo lack of consistency.
Let's see how Tiger gets on an the US Open before announcing the second comming ........

No I'm not a Tiger hater I just though I would put the other view as there are a lot of people looking at this through rose tinted glasses.
..like equalling Jacks PGA tour wins in a much shorter time frame
............why dont you just say you cant stand him rather than troll the thread with feeble reasons demeaning him and his golf!
