i still contend that tiger's greatest win as a pro was the 2000 pga over bob may
bob may was not a top player , but that week in valhalla he played perhaps the greatest 4 rounds of anyone in any major and not win
i think bob may had 3 rounds of 66 in that tournament , he took the lead away from tiger at one point in the back nine , the putt he made on 18 was simply amazing , tiger had to make about an 8 footer to force a playoff - i honestly don't think anyone else in the world would have made that putt with all the pressure on the line , through in the fact that he was trying to tie ben hogan as the only player to win 3 majors in the year and the pressure on the putt is multiplie 100 fold - and he poured it right in
if he didn't make that putt and lost to bob may who knows what would have happened o him after that - but he didn't miss
the analogy that he has to go toe to toe with another top player is ridiculous , any 1 of these guys can string 4 great rounds together
i do agreee with scott that the public would like to see a comeback from behind win from 5/6 back , if he does that he will become a legend, but, that day against bob may was simply un-real , he willed himself to victory there against a guy who played arguably as good for 4 rounds as anyone else ever did in a pga , with the exception of tiger of course
