b - game
I think he had his B game at the Masters this year and did not win.
He said himself that he never hit the ball better tee to green. Putted horribly.
There are others who if they play their A game and he plays his B game he will lose to, maybe a couple of years ago that was not the case, but, today it is. I think the other players have cuaght up to him more thant you think.
Also - He has never lapped the field in a US Open on a tight tree-lined course like Winged Foot. Pebble Beach is not like the Open courses in the East.
1 other fact - of his 10 majors - only 1 is on a par 70 course - Bethpage Black where he won by 3 strokes. Tiger's advantage on a par 70 over the field is not as big as a par 71 or 72. He has won 6/10 majors on Augusta and St Andrew's - two par 72 course that play as par 68's for him and par 72's for 95 % of the other players in the field.
I think he is a bet agianst this week at 5/1 off his layoff and history on par 70
courses.
