Tiger Woods certainly no Arnold Palmer at most boring Masters in memory
Tiger Woods has shown time and time again he is no charger. He may be the most dominant player of all time, but he doesn’t set hearts aflutter like Arnold Palmer used to do during one of his famous charges.
Give Woods the lead and he’s a pit bull. Put him a few strokes back and he turns into Shelley Winters.
Woods had tons of opportunities to make a serious run for the lead Sunday during the final round at The Masters, but never got around to doing much. He actually looked bored.
Hey, Tiger, I wanted to yell, this is the Masters!
Make one of those shots – you know, an ungodly chip where the ball hangs on the lip for 15 minutes so the world can see the Nike logo.
Nope. Miss after miss after miss.
Look at the names at the top of the leader board: Trevor Immelman, Brandt Snedeker, Steve Flesch. Nobody ever even made a move at Immelman.
It all made me sleepy, like Tiger.
Hats off to Immelman for a fantastic showing, but I found myself switching over to the NBA.

"There is no such thing as an uninteresting subject, only an uninterested person."
It was a tough scoring day, one where almost no one was under par. And it was quite entertaining if you understand golf. Of course, there would have been more drama had it been closer, but not every tournament thus develops.
The tournament, Sunday at least, was boring, no matter how well you understand golf.
Nice play by Trevor under pressure.
