Billy Reed: Is it unreasonable to hope Tiger Woods has at least one more major ... - User-generated content (press release) (registration)

Surely Tiger Woods has one more major golf championship left in him. Surely, for four days, he will turn the clock back a decade or so and mesmerize us as he did in his glory years. That’s been in the back of my mind before every major for the past five years. It can’t be completely gone, can it. Won’t he wake up one of these days and feel like the old Tiger again. To refresh your memory, Tiger won 14 majors between 1997 and 2008. As a man of color, he was golf’s Jackie Robinson. It seemed a foregone conclusion that he would smash Jack Nicklaus’ record of 18 victories in the four major championships – Masters, U. S. Open, British Open, and PGA Championship. Until the 2009 PGA at Hazeltine in Minnesota, Tiger never lost a major that he led after 54 holes. On the final day, instead of building on his two-shot lead, he shot a 75 to finish second, three strokes behind the victorious Y. E. Yang. 29, 2009, when his wife Ellen Nordegren chased him out of the house brandishing a five-iron and he wrecked his Cadillac Escalade SUV on the street outside. Who knows what Woods was doing the night before the final round. Whatever, Tiger Woods simply does not shoot 75 in the final round of a major. Source: www.nkytribune.com
