It was man against boys. The course tamed the field. Tiger tamed the course. Most scary of all, this is him only nearing his potential. We may need to wait another few years to find out what his prime looks like.
Purists still get all haughty at the mere suggestion.
They'd mention that Tiger's three majors still pale alongside Nicklaus' record of 18 professional majors. There is another way to frame the question, though. Winner take all. I like Tiger. For that mix of youth and experience.
