If there is anyone who can destroy the very insane theory of the number 13 representing calamity and tribulation, it's Tiger Woods.
Entering the PGA Championship in Tulsa on Thursday, Tiger was facing his last chance to win a major (his 13th in his career) this PGA season. He had been under some scrutiny for losing his focus due to becoming a father.
He began the tournament with a sluggish 71 (this course is a par 70)...then...he sprang.
On Friday, he rang up 8 birdies and a mind-boggling 63 missing the course record by one after his putt ran around the lip of the hole and settled on the green.
On Saturday, he shot a 1-under 69 to extend his lead by 3 by hitting nine of fourteen fairways and 14 of 18 greens including two birdies and only one bogey.
He has never lost a tournament after leading by more than one stroke after 54 holes, and I don't see this streak ending in Oklahoma tomorrow.
Like Ernie Els (six strokes back) said, "If I was not a golfer, a fan on the couch, I'd be putting my house on him, yeah...the statistics tell you, yes, it's over. But, as a competitor, I can't sit there and tell you it's over...I need to shoot something unbelievable and he's got to make mistakes."
Good luck with that, Ernie.
Tiger is simply amazing.
