but phil's not back. tiger is back! seriously, don't even try to stick up for the guy after that chip at 18 yesterday.

It wasn't the chip that got him, it was the approach shot that put him there. There was nothing easy about that chip, as Johnny Miller tried to suggest.

Tiger clearly still has issues to deal with and will never be the 2001 or the 2007 version, but he is still one of the best players in the world. He'll be in that position many more times and I expect that, going forward, he will win more Majors than anybody else in the next ten years. The guy that I saw who can get his act together and compete with him over that time is McDowell. He learned a lot yesterday and is young enough to use it to his advantage. Tiger just played bad golf over the weekend but he has been there before.

Furyk and Els don't have the nerves anymore. Simpson played well, but he just fell into it when everybody ahead of him just faltered. That might be the case more often than not. It's probably easier to come from behind, post a score and sit and wait, than to be playing in the last group of a Major.
