Eye of the Tiger

Can you believe it? He did it again. For the second year in a row, Tiger Woods sunk a long putt to win the Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill! Unbelievable. As Johnny Miller said, "Tiger Woods may be the best clutch putter in the history of golf." Amen and Amen! If it had been me in that position the putter would have exploded in my hands and the ball would have wound up in the middle of the lake. When ask which part of Tiger's game you would most like to have, many professionals have said, "his mental game." No one can focus on the golf course like Tiger Woods. It is so evident that he relishes these moments of intensity...having to sink a putt on the 72nd green to win a tournament. All of the greats have this ability...Michael Jordan loved to take the last shot with the game on the line...Tim Tebow has to carry the ball when one yard will win the game...and Albert Pujols is who you want up to bat in the bottom of the 9th with two out to get the hit that will win the game. It's "the eye of the tiger"...and it Tiger Woods case, it is literal and not just a figure of speech. Oh, to have that focus in the most important game of life!
