Look, I am a huge fan of Tigers. He probably is my favorite professional athlete in any sport. If you told me growing up that my favorite "athlete" would be a golfer, I would have thought you were crazy.
I'm just being a little objective here. Knowing the personalities of both Tiger and Phil I could pretty much guarntee you that both players feel like they let another major slip away. More obvious to the casual fan was Phil who was tied late in the round, but Tiger would never kid himself...this was one that he let get away.
As GPK said earlier, as bad as he putted, the fact is he was still (in his mind) very much in contention and one of the more likelier winners as late as the
16th-17th holes.
Without Tiger and Phil, the PGA Tour would be the equivalent of Harness Racing.
