Tiger

When he stuck that green on 18 I turned to Mrs. Guapo and said "that's just not fair". I would have bet the house he was gonna sink that putt.

Tiger's shot 67/66 to be a co-leader (currently the 2nd rd, with some players still out there) at Doral

next week is the Tavestock Cup. if he or his team loses will it be the end of the streak?

Tiger's reference to 1 major a year was not to be taken into this exact context. When he says winning 1 major a year is a good year he is saying that majors are more important than other tournaments. That yes it is good to win 7 or 8 tournaments in a given season but it isn't a great year until you win a major. Thus if he wins only 1 or 2 other tournaments in a somewhat down season, if he wins a major then it is a great year.

Yes he did go for a stretch without winning a major....to be exact it was 2nd half of 02 to masters victory in 05...10 tournaments without a win. However that was during his period of changing his swing and since that victory in the masters in 05 he has won 5 majors in 12 tries (3 year period) and finished 2nd twice. More than 1/year...**** nearly 2/year.

He is playing even better golf than that now so I don't see it unthinkable that he could improve on that 5 major wins in the last 3 years and possibly make it 6-7 major wins in the next 3 years. I predict the 6-7 majors in the upcoming 3 years vs. a Grand Slam this year.
