you been out on tour , you been around the game , you know how hard it is to win regular events , let alone majors , for cbs to show that "band aid" comment when the other guys were out there fighting for a major was terrible
does angel only get half a green jacket cause tiger had a band aid swing on sunday ?- gimme a break

I don't think Tiger mean't it in a way of demeaning Cabrera's win yesterday, if anyone else said that, it wouldn't even make press. He wins on one leg last year and I know people were saying he was embellishing his injury until they found out the next day he was out for the rest of the year. He's always under a microscope and for what he has to deal with I think he's doing pretty well for himself. What I do know about him is he is far more respected by his peers than Phil is. A guy I work with knows someone who's in the lockeroom on tour and they have said as much. I don't think it's an untruth to say if Tiger is on his A game, it would take a hell of rd x 4 to beat him. The band aid comment is probably true, Phil was outdriving him on almost every hole, he's been out for almost a year, it was his short game and will/heart/smarts that got him to -8, even if you are not a fan of his, you have to respect what he did yesterday.
