Just a personal observation and no excuses for Tiger.
I think the media and the unknowing golf world seem to believe that Tiger can win everytime he steps on the course...its not going to happen...
When he made his debut, I didn't care for Tiger, despite his OC roots; but after his father's passing, I saw another side of him...he was human...
I kicked 3-Day Phil to the side and Tiger became my #1, along with Freddie Couples, who will always be one of my fav's..
Back to the subject, I now see Tiger as a Father figure, he's got a wife, two children of his own, business ventures...he's like us, he's got bills (but at least he can pay them on time!) and he's probably got things on his mind other than golf...are the kids okay, the wife's health, his mother...
Its got to be terribly difficult, stressful, to play in front of 40 thousand on the course, 40 million on TV and be scrutinized for every thing you do...
I've noted a little something about Tiger; I recognize that when he's under the gun and the pressure has really gotten to him he starts spitting on the course..and he started spitting after Yang made the chip-shot from the fringe...
I'm gonna put this loss in the past; I'll say that Yang didn't beat Tiger but that he lost it himself...just my view.
