I've watched the British Open for years. It's generally one of the better tournaments of the year. And no matter where they play the British, its always some ridiculously crazy hard course. I mean, one year Phil Mickelson chipped out of the sand backwards, in order to advance his ball. That's how crazy it is. It's almost not golf at times. And so Tiger missed the cut there this week. OMIGOD I'M GONNA SLASH MY WRISTS!! No. Tiger is human, and each year he gets more and more human. Father Time marches on, and all that. Tiger went home on a Friday. It happens, and i'ts only happened to him a handful of times in his career. It's almost apropos that he missed the cut at the British Open. Those courses eat people for lunch, and if you're off your game, even just a little, even if your name is Tiger Woods, shit happens. I think when Tiger reminds us that he's human we're so shocked because he's actually SUPER HUMAN. He is. The dude is amazing. You know it, I know it, and HE knows it. I actually felt bad for him giving his interviews. I did. He's unprepared for failure, but he always says the right things. This time, it was a little canned, but what do you expect? HE'S TIGER WOODS! I think I end up liking him more when he shows that he's human. I'm glad that he's around my age, we'll grow old together, me watching him on most Sundays. He won't be watching me, but if he did, he'd see me cheering him on. Take a break Tiger, get some rest. Back at em again next week...
