Tiger Woods enters the final day of The Masters six shots back from the lead. Now I know Tiger is the best golfer of ... blah, blah blah. Six shots at Augusta in one day is even too much for the Red-Shirted One.
It's not that I don't like Tiger. He is an amazing athlete and has revolutionized the game like no other athlete has done to his/her sport.
I am sick of all the hype, though. Yes, everyone's fawning over Tiger is a bit much even for a golfer approaching all of the hallowed records of his sport.
Which makes his failure in Georgia all the more appealing. At least now I don't have to spend my summer avoiding all golf talk and this nonsense about the Grand Slam. Cause had Tiger won The Masters, you just know every moron with a microphone or laptop would be spouting off about Tiger's World.
I could have stomached the Grand Slam talk had Tiger even stood a chance at it. But he didn't. Even Tiger -- yes, Him Without Peer -- can't tame those four tournaments in one year.
I have finally accepted there are very, very few records Tiger won't break. As a central Ohio boy, it pains me to say Jack's 18 majors will someday fall short of whatever number Tiger posts. He may make a run at Byron Nelson's record-breaking season.
However, the Grand Slam is one hallowed mark no one will reach. Not even the wonderful Tiger Woods.
Tiger recently said he's won four tournaments in a year before. He just has to win the right ones.
Yeah, if it was only that easy.
