Bill Barnwell uses a z-score to rate various golfing performances to each other. McIlroy’s 2011 US Open is up there (in the top 25), but Tiger’s 2000 destruction of Pebble Beach is as far above the second-best performance of all time as that performance (by Davis Love III) is above the twentieth. Also interesting that Niklaus’ second-place (e.g. losing) effort in the 1977 British Open still ranks as one of the greatest all-time individual performances in golf. Good on you, Jack.

The extent to which he can recover seems to me depends on his faith; he is said to be a Buddhist. I don’t think that faith offers the kind of forgiveness and redemption that is offered by the Christian faith. So, my message to Tiger is, ‘Tiger, turn to the Christian faith and you can make a total recovery and be a great example to the world’.
Brit Hume, broadcasting on FOXnews, and not kidding. Sooner or later one hopes that even most Christians will get tired of this shit.

Tiger: Likely Bankrupted
Well, looks like this about wraps it up for Tiger Woods:
An Orange County Utilities manager told the Sentinel today his agency likely will bill the golfer about $600 for the expenses related to repairing the fire hydrant the pro-golfer struck.
It cost about $85 to pick up the damaged hydrant. And now there’s a work-order with the county for about $450 to repair and replace the hydrant.
No doubt Tiger will be too busy working double night-shifts at Winchell’s and/or take to driving a gypsy cab in vain hope of paying off these unbelievable debts. Thank you, Orlando Sentinel, for this sort of incisive, hard-hitting reportage. Truly a service to the Western World.
And, before you start feeling sorry for Tiger, get ready to feel really sorry for Tiger:
And eventually, the county will need to replace the sod around the hydrant.
Will it never end? Will we never let this poor man up? Hasn’t he suffered enough!?! I guess not, as the putative other-lady has this to say:
Although I’ve been romantically linked to a famous baseball player, a Broadway star, a musician, and various film and television actors, I will never kiss and tell
You stay classy, Orlando Sentinel.
