Tiger didn't choke, he just didn't win.

Tiger isn't God he can't win everything. Immelman manned up and beat him AND EVERYONE ELSE. End of story.

The Tigers didn't hit free throws, they choked.

Tiger didn't play well, but saying he choked just means that you know nothing about golf. Why don't we just leave it there?

the story is that Trevor Immelman went wire to wire and contrary to belief, Tiger was never close to him. So if you're not going to write about Snedeker, Casey (who you could say choked Sunday), or Flesch don't talk about Tiger. Talk about how sad it was to see Freddy's streak end, or what no has even noticed:

After opening with disastrous 77 Miguel Angel Jimenez finished up tied for 8th at -1 for the weekend. He was the lone dew buster Saturday morning. Great turnaround for him.

I just have not seen Tiger miss that many close putts in a while,a long while,especially in a major.Snedeker looked to bust out at anytime,but the old boogy man was in his way,was he that good at Vandy?Immelman absolutly looked great he looked like he had never heard the word Tiger.

I think what Tiger did was fail at being spectacular which has become the norm for him, so it seemed like he was playing worse than he actually was. As much as he struggled, he still posted a number that was better than 85% of the field on Sunday and passed 5 of the 6 guys that he needed to get by in order to win.

If you had paid attention, you might have noticed that he had the worst week of reading greens of his professional life. The pace of his putts was a bit off, but it really didn't matter with the way he was reading greens.

yeah, he had several putts that were WAY off from what to expect from Tiger.

I am shocked that a 6 handicapper would call any of that a choke on the part of Tiger. I was rooting against him because I had the field and he, fortunately did not play to his normal otherworldly standard, saying he choked is just absurd.

To my knowledge, he missed two relatively short putts on Sunday and hit an atrocious approach into 17. Other than that, I'm not sure where he might have choked. He putted poorly all week, Sunday was clearly just part of the trend.

Just getting opinions my friend,several of us watched it and we all felt he missed putts at the most inopertune times,not like him at a major,I understand people have bad days,but he just don't usually miss that much that close.:)Like the MPS tigers.

I don't think that was a choke as much as a very tough shot to a tiny landing area. That was a very long approach due to a quasi popped up stinger 3 wood. He was going in there from about 215 and you have to stay right of that pin. He tried to draw it in there, but couldn't do it off that downhill lie.

I don't think anybody makes everything from 4-10 feet at Augusta. The greens are too tough; especially with the wind blowing.

How about that new tracking of the ball,off the club.That is a cool new addition.It's hard to see their actual ball flight.Neat.You think they should do that more than they did? I really liked to see the flight of the shot.I knew they drew the ball alot but, you could really see the shot making or the shaping of the shot.:)

Very true!I played The Tour 18 in Houston TX, and they have amen corner there. I am very lucky to come out 1 under on that classic 3 holes.That's two times through it.The greens are just like the Masters,same size and everything.:thumbsup:

I'm betting that the firmness and speed are radically different.
