Tiger wins again...YAWN!

As the Jews would say, "So what else is new?"

When he was a mere seven shots behind the Veej after two rounds, was he out of it? NOPE! When he 3-putted from seven feet at ten on Sunday to drop into a tie for the lead, should we have worried? NO AGAIN! He merely had to have a brief talk with himself. He proceeded to calmly grind out par after par before draining a long putt on the eighteenth to win his fifth Palmer title. Not like he hasn't done this before. HO HUM!

I do have one minor complaint to express to Tiger when he calls me later today. I'm gonna tell him to shit-can the fist-pumping/cap-slamming act. It's not very classy.

Corn Beef Taco jumps a spot and Jan and Matt get off the deck with their astute pick of Veej. As I'm writing this weekly drivel, I'm wondering if anyone has ever done the Tiger vs. V.J., head-to-head math. Tiger seems to beat him like a drum when they are both in the mix on Sundays. Luke and Sergio disappointed a bunch of youse. Lukey, by missing the cut by one stroke. Sergio is still on his quest for a repeatable putting stroke. I can relate.

Onward to another WGC (The venue is Doral's Blue Monster course) which, of course, Tiger will win....DUH! Then it'll be on to conquer The Masters and the other majors later this Summer. It's looking more likely that he'll bat 1.000 this year. YAWN!
