The PGA Championship was one of the worst major championships I've covered in my seven years in this job. Once Tiger took the lead Friday afternoon, the tournament was over. Everyone knew it.
What became the story was Woody Austin and not just because of his run, but his post-round comments. I like when someone says they can beat Tiger, but he went above and beyond on Sunday.
"We can go through our rounds. I outplayed him on Friday, but he beat me by seven shots," he said.''
You could ask a two year old if that makes sense. How did you outplay him if he beat you by a touchdown? Woods lipped out a 12-footer on the 18th hole Friday. If he made it, Woods would have the lowest round in the history of major championship golf. The history of it.
So I guess Austin thinks he has essentially the best round in golf history?
You didn't. Not even close.
Again, for the I don't know how manyth time, don't talk about Tiger. Say you think you can beat him and leave it at that.
No one collected any points in the PGA Championship, although I won the golf pool at The Sports Network.
