I hope so, too. I think the stat guy basically broke down skills into quantifiable activities. WILL TO WIN is a combination of a lot of things, mostly un measureable, dont you think?

All true, but another important quality of Tiger’s is his will to win. How many times have we seen other pros get in a position to win and crumble? By contrast, it feels like Tiger is never out of contention no matter how many strokes back he is. Maybe we’ll see another example of this today (Sunday at The Masters).

I know. But I just couldn’t pass up the shot. Besides, I was still drunk from last night’s celebration!

That shot was one of those “you’ve got God on your side, don’t you?” shots. I’ve watched these guys enough to know that they were unnaturally cold from the outside for almost the whole game, so I think the karmic balance definitely came into play in giving Chalmers that shot.

Plus…I was really trying to work Tiger Woods, the masters, and the ncaa winner kansas into a posting. Google juice you know.

Having left Kansas in 1967 for good, I still have and qualify for the Kansas badge, non-resident at least. When I said out of his ass shots, I think you will agree that Chambers’ last second shot last night, with guys hanging on him, was indeed pulled out of his very lucky, but deserving arse. No harm in being lucky at all. But I think Tiger is ‘luckier’ than most…and his scrambling is more of a golf term, than a last second shot to win a tournament with a walk off, holed putt from a sand bunker—the equivalent of Chambers’ shot.
IMHO.

First, turn in your Kansas badge.

Second, you said that Tiger doesn’t rely on out-of-my-rear-end last second shots to win. Then you tell us that the way he wins in large part is by scrambling. I suppose those portapotty shots don’t count as out-of-my… oh, never mind.

Oh, the shame…
