Roger that eagle leader... No, I'm talking about this Bob May Tiger Woods battle. I like to have the TV on in the background for some kinds of work. But now I'm just watching. Might be the best major tournament finish ever (like I would know.) I like that the crowd seems to be routing for both of them. I guess they just want to see a good match. Seems like a much better attitude than what I see reported about soccer fans, and to a lesser extent what I've seen of baseball football hockey fans. I guess tennis fans are sort of like the golf crowd. (May just knocked it 2 inches from the hole on the first playoff hole.) The fans (myself included) like to witness epic greatness in action (Tiger Woods,) and of course we like an underdog too (Bob May? Whose he?) Great combo. (Oh shit Tiger just rolled in his putt on 16.) The great shots are non stop. Some sort of pure sports competition dialectic going on. I agree about not having a TV, but every once in while something cool happens.

great match. it would have been amazing if may made that last long put and pushed it to another whole. it was an interesting tournament especially for jack nicklaus. i think his mother died like a day before it started and it is his last pga championship on a course he designed so they paired tiger with nicklaus for the first two days, the first time they had played together in a tournament. nicklaus holds the record with eighteen major victories. tiger now has five. but waht is almost as impressive is that nicklaus has 19 second places finishes in the majors. i think sports illustrated had him in the top five us athletes of the century, possibly a couple notches higher. so, it looks like tigers got a leg up on everyone in the next century.
Did you catch this one stat they were throwing around: Nicklaus won 18 majors by a combined margin of victory of 44 strokes (40 something for sure; I think 44) while Tiger had (before yesterday) 4 majors with already a combined margin of victory of 36 strokes. He needs a couple more years to catch up to some of Jack's records, but he's on track to absolutely demolish every one of them. Incredible.
