Tiger Woods y’all!!!
Tiger Woods Wins Memorial Tournament 2012, Ties Jack Nicklaus All-Time Record
Tiger Woods was at his best Sunday at the Memorial. He hit nearly every shot just the way he wanted, worked the gallery into a frenzy with one last charge over the final hour and left everyone buzzing – especially Jack Nicklaus – with a shot they will talk about for years.
Better yet was the timing of his 73rd win.
Woods tied Nicklaus for career PGA Tour victories at the tournament that Jack built. And the 14-time major champion suddenly looks equipped to resume his chase of another Nicklaus mark that is more significant – 18 major championships.
The U.S. Open starts in 11 days.
Says Jack about Tigers performance:
“Under the circumstances – the circumstances being Tiger has been struggling – it was either fish or cut bait,” Nicklaus said later. “He had one place to land the ball. He’s playing a shot that if he leaves it short, he’s going to leave himself again a very difficult shot. If he hits it long, he’s going to probably lose the tournament. He lands the ball exactly where it has to land. Going in the hole was a bonus. But what a shot!
“I don’t think under the circumstances I’ve ever seen a better shot.”
Wonder what got Tiger his mojo back? Maybe he has a new roster of hoes…
