    It wasn't a comeback Johnny Miller, it was another choke Job by someone in the final group with Tiger. He had a 5 shot lead for crying out loud.

    Don't get me wrong, I love the fact the USA has Tiger Woods. I Love the guy.

    I watch caddies to see if they're doing their complete Job; Relaxing their player and not wearing the same concern of choking as their guy is. O'Hair's Caddie sucked today. I know O'Hair was nervous, but his Caddie has the Job to try and remove that. You could tell he got just as excited as O'Hair did during that conversation on 18.

    Nicklaus had Angelo during the 70's who would sign a little song to Nicklaus at the very right moment.

    Well yeah it was a choke job, typical of guys who play in the final group with Tiger. I mean he did have a big lead, but once it starts to melt away he was toast. As I said in my topic, when he had Tiger by the balls he hits it in the lake....oh yeah it's cooler now the balls don't fly as far, nice f'kin observation ..after the fact.

    But you have to admit that 67 by El Tigre was damn impressive. Typical of Tiger he can make mistakes and still make par or birdie, his short game is just without peer.

    Tiger has that effect on golfers he is paired with. He has worn down better golfers than O'Hair.... just ask Phil Mickelson.

    All this Kid has to do is shoot par, which he broke all week, and he wins. His dipshit caddie new this and didn't set his guy up for the win. Caddies don't just carry clubs anymore. That's their meal ticket that's hitting those shots. He needed to keep his guy focused for 18 holes. The only time he (Ohair) should have known Tiger was around him was whne they announced him on the 1st Tee. The caddie knows his guys game just as good as the player does (he better). You could tell there was tension when the caddie said on 18, "Talk to me before you decide on this one".

    WTF, how about the last 17 holes?

    I'm gonna track this one, 'cause I think that Ohair's gonna fire this guy, like this week. He qualifies for the Masters already, and you don't need an atogonist on your bag for the 1st major of the year.

    Geez the week before O'Hair didn't even make the cut. After 3 days at Bay Hill he's 5 shots better that anyone else in the field. Midnight came a little early for this Cinderella. He looked like he had Tiger by the throat on 16. The guy hit it in the water. He's lucky if his caddie will still work for him.

    Come on AJ. You know if a player chokes and the caddie is asked, they will tell you who the real culprit is. Here's a perfect example. :D
