Tiger's 8-Iron Magic


Tiger Woods once again proved he is no mortal and that his challengers are. After Woods, tailing Padraig Harrington by a shot at the WGC Bridgestone Invitational, hit a 182-yard 8-iron to six inches on the 16th hole, the defending PGA champion hit a lob wedge into the greenside pond and made a triple bogey. Tournament over. Who hits 182-yard 8-irons? Woods cruised home to victory, his fourth of the year, second in a row, and 70th of all time, leaving behind only Sam Snead and Jack Nicklaus. The win also was his seventh victory in the WGC tournament played at the Firestone Country Club, the most any PGA pro has won at one venue. Coincidentally, the win comes a week before the last major championship of the year and presents Woods with his last chance to cap off another stunning season.

Good to see Harrington finally playing well now even thoguh he choked that chip shot into the water on 16. Hes still plenty happy with a tie for 2nd after this season.

Tiger has just played phenomenally lately and in WGC's in general. Now 15 for 30 at WGC's career. 50%, thats double his career win% of 25%, and 4 times that of 2nd place career at 12% win%. He's Just incredible.
