Today, Trevor Immelman, a golfer who only his parents have heard of, won the Masters by three strokes over the heretofor invincible (or maybe it just seemed that way) Tiger Woods. The talk this morning was that even though Tiger was FIVE shots back, and even though he has never come back to win a major on Sunday, that today was the day for Tiger to do it and win yet another green jacket.
Immelman shot a poor 75, yet still cleared Tiger by 3 strokes.
The point of all this? It's time for the sports media to open their collective eyes and realize that Tiger Woods, amazing as he is, is still a human being. He has bad days, or even bad tournaments. Although he wasn't bad this weekend, he was too far behind on Thursday and Friday to have a legitimate shot to win the Masters in '08.
The second point? Never again (or, at least until next April) will we have to hear about Tiger's chances at the grand slam.
Yet, I have a hunch we won't hear that talk about Trevor Immelman either.
