With Donald Trump watching-on, Tiger Woods sank the first of the two putts he had available for victory at the WGC Classic at Doral on Sunday, capping a week that saw him go four rounds in the 60’s. Another week in the Florida sun wrapped late Sunday afternoon with Tiger Woods on top of perhaps the best looking leader board we have seen in sometime, with Augusta just around the corner!
With a few tournaments left as a lead-in to the Masters, the elite seem to be peaking at just the right time. Steve Stricker who has noted he’d be playing an abbreviated schedule this season looked very sharp in just his third start of the year and in retrospect, maybe shouldn’t have given Tiger those putting tips he allegedly did earlier in the week? Apparently he noticed something his “buddy” was doing on the practice green and told him about it and Tiger proceeded to putt “lights out” for the rest of the week…..I wonder if El Tigre picked-up the dinner check Sunday night? Oh wait, “I don’t carry cash”……right…..
Also in the star-studded hunt was Adam Scott. Wait, Adam Scott? He of the choked-away Open Championship last July?….Yes, that guy! He looked like the Adam Scott we’ve been waiting for (less that long broom), at least for the last three days, making a late charge to finish in a tie for third with Sergio Garcia (who spent some money bogeying 18), Phil Mickelson and Tiger’s playing partner on Sunday, Grahame McDowell. A whole slew of thoroughbreds followed them with Keegan Bradley, Justin Rose, Rory McIlroy (no tooth ache and adjusting to the new clubs a bit better), Peter Hansen and last week’s winner and U.S. Open Runner-Up, Michael Thompson.
Spring is in the air and the Florida swing is in full effect as the fields continue to be elite each week. Augusta is just around the corner and things on the PGA Tour are looking bright for 2013.
