It's next to impossible to slow Tiger Woods when he's on his game. It's apparently outright impossible to do with a rules official on your bumper flashing his brights. Woods blew past Padraig Harrington in the final round of Bridgestone Invitational, aided by a brilliant shot on No. 16 and a slow-play warning that may have helped Harrington implode on the same hole (although SportsNation is convinced the shot mattered more).
With the win, No. 70 of his career, Woods further erases the memory of missing the cut at the British Open. Consider how he's fared in SportsNation's PGA Championship predictions since leaving Scotland.
- After British Open: 56 percent pick Woods to win the PGA Championship.
- After Buick Open: 70 percent pick Woods to win the PGA Championship.
- After Bridgestone Invitational: 75 percent pick Woods to win the PGA Championship.
- Voters split as to whether golf or baseball has biggest problem with slow play.
- Is anyone on more of a roll than Tiger? Actually, voters say yes.
- Beyond the Nation: ESPN.com's Bob Harig on Tiger, Paddy and the clock.
“i just don't think Tiger is going to win a major for a few years ...He's got these other courses aced , but major courses are anyones game .
” -- SNUKA88
“Where are all the people who were saying how Tiger stumbles against a tough field? Haven't heard from them all weekend! Simply amazing! I just wonder how much effect that shot on 16 to within a foot from 182 yards over had on Harrington? That's gotta shake your grapes!
” -- THEBOOTGUY
“I still wonder why this guy is putting them on the clock. Granted Paddy is not the fastest player on the tour by any means, they were only a hole behind the next group. On top of that, they were the last group. Obviously, they going to finish before sundown. Who cares if they had some tough holes, they were in a battle!
