He got outplayed on Sunday. He's lucky he had the 3 stroke lead going in. Just about gave it away.

He went to conservative mode while dimarco went to attacking mode... almost cost him, but to do what he did was incredible... and that shot on 16 was crazy.... I applaud Chris' play, but Tiger played his best final 3 rounds in the last 3 years @ a Major.... where were the rest: Vijay - 8 shots off Tiger Mickelson - 9 shots off Tiger Els - 22 shots off Tiger Els almost mist the cut (1 stroke) and Tiger has 140 consecutive made cuts... current closest 2nd in cuts made: 19... Tiger is back and look out...

The chip shot was awesome, but it was also extremely lucky. Any awe that shot inspired was quickly erased by him bogeying the next two holes to allow it to get to a play-off. He was spectacular in rounds 2 and 3, but I found his play in the final round less than impressive. Especially the way he finished the round.
He almost choked away all that he had done in rounds 2 and 3. Color me unimpressed.

Yes, he did struggle on the back 9 on Sunday. But he and Dimarco beat the hell out of the rest of the field. I was impressed by them both. Tiger did what all champions do, he did what was necessary to win. Even with some of his fortunate bounces. He was near perfect on the playoff which was when it really counted.

I consider it a rather unimpressive Sunday performance. He almost choked away the Masters on the back 9. It's no different than if Chiefs played like hell, and won in spite of their poor play. I'd probably say it was an unimpressive win also (along with a lot of other people). Am I impressed with his skill level? Of course. That goes without saying. I'm impressed with the skill level of any athlete that's good enough to play on the highest level. But what goes along with playing at that level is an expectation of performance. Tiger's win of this Masters tournament won't be remembered as one of the greats. It may be remebered for his lucky shot on 16, but thats all. And I'll remember his performance as him spending the entire afternoon in the rough, and missing a very makeable putt on 18 that would have sealed it.
