His 2nd consecutive PGA Title, the 4th in his career, his 13th Major and his 59th PGA win. What can be said about Tiger? His record says it all. In pursuit of Jack Nicklaus' record, Tiger is 4 years ahead at this stage of their respective careers as far as the Majors go. Jack was 35 when he won his 13th Major and Tiger is only 31. Let's hope Tiger remains healthy for many years to come and raises the bar to an all time high.
At one stage in this tournament(I think it was just after the 7th or 8th hole) David Feherty said "Turn off the lights" and I must say I agreed with him. Tiger was 4 shots clear and starting to coast, it looked like it was game over. But Ernie Els and Duffy Waldorf had other ideas and the two of them started closing in on Tiger. They helped make it an exciting finish and a much closer contest. I was rather pleased in the end that it was only a two shot difference.
Duffy's second placed finish was fantastic and hopefully will give him a spurt for greater things. And my all time favorite the "Big Easy" is beginning to look good again. He has had two top ten finishes in the last 2 majors and I am thrilled for him. His knee op seemed to set him back but he now looks like he is over it. Hopefully he will be back to his all time best in the very near future.
This years Majors are now over and we have a few other exciting events ahead of us. The one I am looking forward to the most is the Fedex cup. Surely Tiger will be the one to walk away with the "obscene" amount of money on offer. Time will tell but he is way ahead on points after this latest victory, and on current form will be unstoppable.
I can't wait.

Let's Talk Golf!
Golf is probably the most mysterious game of all and is pretty unique in many aspects.
First and foremost it is a game that involves a static ball. In most other games the ball is moving at a high speed and the participants either have to hit, catch, kick, dodge, steer or guide it somewhere.
There are no two golf courses that are the same, and all golf course are altered daily by moving the teeing ground and or moving the pin location.
No two shots ARE EVER the same.
Participants have an array of up to 14 clubs to choose from for each shot.
It is a game where the partcipant is the referee. The game relies on the honesty of each golfer to ensure the rules are adhered to. How unique is that?
Golf is played year round - weather permitting.
There are only 34 rules in golf. These 34 rules and the various definitions cover any situation that may arise in the course of a round of golf.
