Well.....I think sitting on the sidelines it's very easy to say "he should have, could have"...... We can't see the true angles, the indulations of the greens, feel the "heat" of the tournament. Tiger has made great strides this year. Remember just the past January he was 52 in OWGR......he's crept his way back with 3 wins, 4 top tens to being #2 OWGR, #1 Fed Ex Cup, #1 Ryder Cup Points, #1 on $$$$ list, and #1 scoring average. No to shabby IMHO.
Every tournament regular event and major Tiger plays he has the opportunity to truly test his new swing....go home and make adjustments and come to the next tournament in a much better place. I stick with my opinion that once he gets his approach shots dialed in the putts will fall as birdies not pars or bogeys. I was impressed with his bunker play this week (except for #6 today) and he has shown great improvement on chipping. It's coming together and if he doesn't snag the PGA, he will get a major in 2013.
I was pleased to see him play well this week.....maybe he should have, could have and things would have turned out differently.....but it's history now.....on to the next tournament!
