And don't ever think he doesn't know what he has to do, in his own mind. He addressed it Friday after coming back from a 16th-hole bogey to finish with consecutive birdies. But then there's that DiMarco guy, the Gator who bogeyed the first hole Friday and then never got bitten by another bogey all through the round that put him two ahead of Woods and Mickelson. It says here DiMarco has to fold because this much pressure against the streakingest golfer of all time is utterly intolerable. It says Mickelson can't stand up against Tiger because he never has really stood up in a major.
Tiger tends to agree, without saying just that.
That's one battle he'll never win. But he isn't above using little mind-games to strip some opponents of some weapons. He pitched in a little zinger like that Friday. But then he slid in the zinger. I know this golf course is going to get a little more dry, a little more firm.
