nice to see Tiger dominate on a Sunday again.

McDowell is rocksteady.

Great putting can overcome a lot of things.

Interesting stat...in 2010, Joe Durant led the PGA Tour in Driving Accuracy and was 3rd in Greens in Regulation, but finished 124th on the money list.

I'm not going to look it up but I'll bet he was not in the top 75 in driving distance or distance from pin on those greens in regulation. Not hitting it close can make those putting stats seem worse than they actually are.

Tour Average in Driving Distance is 287.3, Durant averaged 285.6...less than 2 yards. Not sure about avg. distance from the hole, but the simple truth is he is not a very good putter by tour standards, hence the 124th money ranking, even though he is generally regarded as one of the best ball strikers on tour.

I've grown to like and respect Tiger as he shows humility and after the loss yesterday I've grown to like him even more. Wow, G Mac pulled down some clutch putts.

That was fun tv and hopefully Tiger is back cause I sure enjoy watching the best win, lose or draw.
