Re: The Tiger is BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Darryl, I'm with yuo on not being a Dimarco fan - there is just something about him that makes me want to scream. I think a big portion of it is his stupid claw putting grip. Another is the blank expression on his face all the time. No smile, no scowl, no look of determination.

I am disappointed that Tiget won. Don't get me wrong, I think Tiger is a great golfer, a great person, a great spokesperson for the game of golf. His 2nd and 3rd rounds were two of the best ever at the Masters, so he deserved the win.

Why I don't want Tiger to win is because of the media. When he wins the media discredits every other player on the tour and they phrase it so that it's as if Tiger has to be playing poorly and the others have to be playing exceptional for anyone BUT Tiger to win. It's unfair to Tiger to put that much expectation on him and unfair to the other tour members to degrade their skill and ability.
