In that one, Bob May dueled Woods until the seemingly inevitable end. Bob May. But I think most people would like to see Mr. Woods. He sits tied for third place, one shot behind Tiger. Duval's story is a fairly compelling one, following a season in which he has been slowed by a wrist injury and distracted by a lawsuit involving his equipment maker. Yet, when Woods finished speaking in the big press interview room, reporters began heading for the exits as Duval entered.
Tiger is a natural phenomenon now, a thing of wonder.
You marvel and then you get out of the way - unless, of course, you are on the golf course with him. Nothing, because there are larger forces at work in those skies. And so, with that image, we head to the weekend here in the firm grasp of inevitability. That is where Woods, where all of us, will be today as he plays in the final group with DiMarco, the Masters first-timer. I'm sure there will be a lot of pro-Tigers, but I think I gained a lot of fan base out there.
