You tell them Ron. These guys [sergio and co] spend all their time badmouthing tiger instead of practicing their game. This is what luke said when he won last week....

"You see a lot of players when they get close to him seem to either give it to him or he doesn't have to do too much special," said Donald after his two-stroke victory at the Honda Classic in Florida. "He just knows that his golf is going to be good enough to get it done and sometimes he lets the other players feel like they have to do more. "I think if you can kind of get into the mentality that you don't have to do any more, you just do what you know you can do. Hopefully that will keep me going to get up to Tiger's level. "I don't think I need to practice that much harder. I think I've got to change my mentality. "I think you have to start believing that you're the best player in the world. That's the first step. " can I beat Tiger on any given round? Sure. So why can't I beat him during a tournament? "I feel like if I play my golf, just a satisfactory Luke Donald style, that should be good enough to compete no matter what tiger does”....

Can you believe it?

How did he birdie those holes? Iron shots into greens, not chips and putts.

Ron,

You know what a troll is, don't be coy. Donald has clearly demonstrated his ability by winning last week. The guy only birdied 3 of his last 6 holes to pull out the win. You call that "folding under pressure?"

I will agree that Garcia looks really tentative around the greens. He has no confidence with the short game at all.

A troll? The type that live under bridges? By "any other event" I meant "any additional event for Donald," and I can see how it can be misinterpreted, just as I misinterpreted your vague reference to a troll.

"Luke Donald and Sergio Garcia NOT win a major or any other event this year, they will fold under pressure of any sort."

Um, am I missing something? Was this a troll?

Good points Ron. What sets Tiger apart from the rest is his creativity around the green.
