Romping and Stomping He Is In His Prime
He won the WGC Match Play dealie yesterday, destroying Stewart Cink 8 and 7.
That makes it:
---Three straight WGC wins, five the last six, and seven of the last 10
---Four straight PGA tour wins, and six of his last seven
I'm with Stewart Cink on this one:
"It says he's the best that's ever played."
Yes. He is. I don't care if he ever gets past Jack Nicklaus' career majors mark (although I fully expect him to). That is beside the point now. Woods has become in his golfing prime everything anyone could possibly have hoped for. Still long off the tee, great course manager, ridiculously good short game, and steady putter. There has never been anyone better. Not Hogan. Not Nicklaus. Not Palmer. Not Jones. Not even fair at this point.
Bob Harig tries to find new words on on espn.com here.
Steve Elling on sportsline.com says Woods is playing better right now than he did in his magical 2000 run of excellence. Yup.
The simple PGA equation for tournaments where Woods shows up: he merely has to be good, everyone else has to be flawless.
True dat.
