What a magnificent finish on Sunday.   Isn't it such a privilege to be a Tiger Fan to enjoy days like that.

I was reading a golf blog earlier today and came across this comment from a contributor - shows why Tiger can not stop to sign autographs like Phil even though he gets so much criticism.

"Responding to a comment on Woods' interaction with the fans, as a tournament marshal I can assure you that there is no way we could allow Tiger to stand signing autographs at the end of his rounds in the way Phil does. Depending on the tournament and the day, the gallery following Tiger is between 10,000 and 25,000 strong. Even with Phil (whose gallery is perhaps one tenth that) we have problems ensuring that the kids in "autograph alley" do not get injured. For Tiger, to even pause is out of the question - and that's before we start to worry about the issue of his security. Any "hole captain" at an event where Tiger plays will tell you that we are judged entirely on whether we can get him through our hole without incident. (Tiger's failure to qualify for the playoffs last year was a great relief - meant that many of us could actually enjoy the week a little.)"
