Tiger Woods nails down third win of 2012

Tiger Woods. Sunday red. A salt rival, an opponent is defeated. How many times have we heard this story? No ages.

Last Sunday at the AT & T National Congress, Woods fell one shot deficit almost immediately, and held his head most of the afternoon, and got rid of most of the field. Bo Van Pelt only keeps pace with Woods, but you know how these stories always end.

Woods shot a day two to finish the tournament with -8, clear Van Pelt Adam Scott 02:03 whites.

Woods took time after time that brought me memories of other times, when almost sinking putts from the steps of the Capitol, an approach shot in which he wrapped his club around a tree and are still Green for excellence, a generous gift to a fan hit a shot off the tee, chip eight feet below the shaft of the green flag, rang 16.

This round only there were more prominent in a tournament Woods has been in many years.

Van Pelt to say this, but: it was difficult, but many, many men, many in their position over the years I trembled and was cut. It was not until 16 years when he could not capitalize timber bogey ', the machine began to lose oil. He cut 17, flying over the green on his approach, and falling one stroke of the pen.

For his part, Woods played the first 15 holes without a bogey, continuing a streak of 41 holes that go back to Friday.

He took a bogey on 16 when the cycle could have gone to pieces, and stopped in front of Van Pelt, once and for all, 17 by sinking a pair of eight foot putt knees touching.

Woods's next teeing the Greenbrier Classic next weekend, singer for the British Open in mid-July. If there is no such thing as a "return" of Woods, will not be official until they win a major.

But as the transgressions and-mouth scandal, he never appeared more willing to make another important it is now.

Ie, this marks the third season of Woods victory, leading the PGA Tour. (Jason Dufner and Hunter Mahan have two each). N Woods ranks among the leaders in 3 finishes, money earned, the total driving and a host of other statistics. And now he is # 1 in the FedEx Cup. This should lead to a more skeptical inescapable conclusion: If Tiger Woods is back, he is not the time now.
