What I learned at the British Open last week
Tiger Woods has an even bigger advantange at majors held on par 72 courses. In majors, he is 1 for 13 on par 70 courses. He is 1 for 6 on par 71 courses. He is 9 for 18 on par 72 courses (including 4 of 10 at Augusta and 3 of 3 at the British Open). Note - Medinah is set up as a par 72 for the PGA. My money will be on the feline.
I also would not be surprised if he and Elin start a family soon. With the loss of his father, Tiger may start thinking about being a dad himself especially while his mom is still around to enjoy a grandchild. My prediction - if Tiger becomes a father, it will not distract him one bit. He will definitely challenge Jack's record of 18 majors. He is the most mentally tough, driven competitor I have seen since Michael Jordan. But Michael got bored and distracted after three straight titles with the Bulls. Tiger has shown no signs of slowing down or burning out.
