Well,Tiger is unique in his ability to re-focus.He is thinking about the next hole.He never thinks "I bogeyed,and am losing my lead." He says to himself "I have still got a lead .The pressure is on them....Re-focus...Re-focus..." Don't get me wrong.The guy(Anthony K)is a very good player.I WANT TO SEE MORE COMPETITIVE FIRE FROM HIM.He has gone away too often when involved in the fight.Shouldn't have taken 38 tournaments.He is as good as Tiger was at 22.How many tournaments did it take before Tiger won Vegas?

We are just gonna have to agree to disagree on this one bro. To me, the fact that he earned his tour card at such a young age, and has been able to keep it, shows TONS of mental toughness. He does have am immense amount of talent...but as good as Tiger at 22?? I don't think so...
Even Kim admitted to complacency last year, not practicing as much or as hard as he should. He also came across as very aloof and arrogant. A couple veterans took him aside and have schooled him a bit in that department. Comparing not only him, but anyone in that age bracket, to Tiger and how early he won, is just simply unfair. Tiger is a once in a lifetime player.
