Johnny Miller said something recently on the radio here - that Tiger (with "help" from Mark O'Meara) has been trying to remake his swing to hit a natural draw rather than fade, and Miller thought that was stupid, given how fast he swings. If he is, as you say, off by a centimeter, he blocks it right or duck hooks it. Miller also said that all the power hitters over the years have been faders. Hooking is for old men and others with easy, repetitive swings. I can't say he's wrong.

I don't understand why he puts so much stock into O'Meara's advice. And he always has. O'Meara was a damn good player. But he was never on Tiger's level. What's the connection there, anyway?

Great tournament. Felt bad for Phil, even though he did it to himself, once again.
But Els. Damn. That's gotta be the biggest choke going into a final round I've ever seen. Damn. No one's even talking about it.
