Our guest writer wrote in the comment section last week the following about Tiger Woods, "I think Tiger will surpass Jack Nicklaus in major victories, unfortunately. He is starting to come around as of late, and I think it's only a matter of time before he wins a major. Possibly the British or the PGA Championship. If not, 2012 will bring him at least one. I used to watch all 4 rounds of every tournament he played growing up, rooting as hard as humanly possible for him. With the unfortunate scandal he created and went through, I find myself rooting for guys with more normal names, like Bubba.
Well Tiger did win and you can bet that he will win more majors. He played like the Tiger of "Old" today.
