Its amazing too because in the last decade or so since he was successful the game has changed. Now the tour is full of young, fit, big hitters who can easily carry 300 yards off the tee. When Tiger was in his pomp this stood him apart from the field.
Today he showed he can use his brain and game management to get round and his ability to handle pressure is 2nd to none. Will stand him in good stead moving forward.
He also does what great champions do and takes full advantage of any lucky breaks and is totally ruthless when he smells blood. Jumps on any weaknesses in his other competitors.
It’s been coming really as he was close in a couple of other recent majors, but just wasn’t quite consistent enough.
Was a bit gutted as I’d bet on Shauffle and Koepka amongst others, but have to hand it to him to come back like he has. Great scenes and the Masters is always such a good watch coming down that back 9.
