Hello Dougie, the sports pros say that the only way any of the other players have a chance to win, is to play Tiger on a flat course. They are now trying to make courses Tiger proof but the news is that it just makes it impossible for the other players to win. What do you think of that?

Tiger seems to win no matter what type of course he plays on.He can be beaten (even when he's playing well) as Darren Clarke and a few others have shown this year. His greatest strength is that he makes so few mistakes.When he does he has the shot and the confidence to recover from it. A few players started to put pressure on him early in today's round but when they made hit a bad shot they seemed to go to pieces. Rather than make courses 'Tiger proof' we need the other players to raise their game and consistency.

It's a shame the wind didn't blow because I'd like to have seen how he would have coped with that (probably better than everyone else).

Dougie, before Tiger went over, they had an interview with him on the news. Tiger himself said he hopes that it is cold windy and wet because that is typical weather for Scotland and he wanted to play in the Scottish weather.
Yup your right, I think the others should practice at being more consistant. Tiger is having an exceptional year. He seems like a nice person also, not egotistical at all.

Exceptional talent, immense wealth, good looks (so I'm led to believe),humility and dignity. Makes you sick. Just joking. He does come across as a really decent guy. Kinda scary that he thinks he can still play better.

Exclamation

One of the problems facing the PGA Tour is the acceptance by the other players that Tiger is unbeatable. It makes no sense for the likes of Davis Love III and Phil Mickelson to say at the start of each tournament that Tiger is unbeatable....they are just setting themselves up for defeat.

As for Tiger....he truely is a "COMPLETE GOLFER"
