Unreal.

Three clutch putts on the last three holes.

Well done to him.

Player of the Year? He's got a good shot at it.

To be fair, though, the TV coverage yesterday focused way more on him & Sergio than on Ben Curtis (American).

But you're right, even when Tiger's not in contention he gets more focus than the others who are. But then he is the most dominant player in any sport arguably since Babe Ruth or Donald Bradman(look it up, Tx

).

Could Harrington be the guy to give Tiger a consistent realistic challenge? Next year's majors could be very interesting.
