But his final round was what winning a tournament with the lead is all about - doing what has to be done. To me his 69 was even more impressive than Tiger's who went for everything because he was 10 shots back and had nothing to lose - whereas Rory could have lost his chance of winning. He didn't buckle. He played the 18th perfectly. He could have played the same type of 2nd shot as Tiger but he played the percentage shot - remarkable for a 22 year old. Tiger's smarty pants remark was in his interview with the press after round 3. You expect too much of Rory in the heat of the moment i.e. not mentioning Honda.

I am looking forward to the 'old fart' Woods battling the young upstart McIlroy this golf season. Augusta should be exciting...

I love McIlroy. I'll be pulling for him at the Masters. Love to see Woods reacting to him and even showing he's jealous with his catty remark. Of course, that's good for promoting viewership.

These guys are good. Even through the bear trap I felt Rory would win. Normally I might be waiting for that bad shot or that succumbing to pressure. Now I didnt turn it off either as I did miss the 18th twice this year when all hell broke loose but I just had this feeling that the kid is that damn good. And I wasnt even that sure at the beginning of the year but after last week and this week he really has it

Tiger found his game somewhere around the bear trap on Saturday....

If he maintains that level Rory & Co will need to raise their game to keep up.... Which is great for us.

I thought it has set fo a great year. Tiger has great appeal. So here we had the young Lion and the OLD Tiger in a duel that was an hour apart. Tiger Roared and Rory simply executed coming home with safe shots and NO mistakes.

I think a lot of us are impressed by that, because in our own experience, we know how hard it can be to play "safe golf". Every time I've tried I turn into a basket case.

I came out of my chair when Tiger dropped that 200 yarder out of the 18th fairway and just on the edge of green over the lake. The crowd joined me in the roar. And I thought, "He's back!" He will disappoint us again, I'm sure, but that was the way to come out of his slump.

Jack summed it up when asked about Tiger's chances of beating his record. He said, "the equipment is so much better and the golfers are in such better shape than we were that I don't think he will have a problem beating me before he quits."

And some luck too. The diminishing wind was helping him as well.

Most golfers would of been in the water 3 times in last 5 holes. Most 22 year olds would of fell in water
