Just when you think you've seen Tiger do everything he comes up with something else. Or at least he continues to show that he is truly on a different golf planet from the rest.

At 16, and behind by a stroke, he shot a 182-yard 8-iron to within 1 foot of the cup. After seeing that the leader Padraig Harrington almost had a stroke, double-bogeying the hole.

Tigers 70th win is only one of three to every reach 70 wins. The two others did it at age 40 and 41. He is only 33. It was his 7th win at Firestone. 7 out of 10 tournaments.

If he died today there would be a pretty good case for him being referred to as the greatest golfer of all time.

I watched that shot on 16, unbelievable, and beautiful to watch. He sighed in
relief after that shot, because he knew Padraig was in big trouble at that point,
and 'he' just got himself back in the tournament, as padraig was leading, and
tiger had struggled for a few holes, but that shot put the icing on the cake,
then padraig flew that chip shot into the water, and it was all over.

he is some kind of golfer, good for him, but padraig is great too, and tiger
did not intimidate him at all all through that round, padraig did it to himself,
and he also had a good round, with exception of 16, which finished him off.

And we all must remember, that everytime Tiger wins another million, many
many underpriviledged children, get a chance in life, because of Tiger's
foundation.

Padraig was out driving him. A couple of monster 380's. Unfortunately for Harrington, Tiger's putter was on fire.

That's right, but padraig is a fantastic putter, and if they had been going in like
saturday, he would have left tiger in the dust, but that's putting for you, some
days it's hot, the next, lip outs, burning the edge, and nothing goes in.

He is good but there is a fine line between being really good and great. Tiger seems to get better with more pressure and more on the line. That is an anomaly in golf.
