Let’s all do the Tiger CRUSH

He’s at it again……… and this time it’s JB Holmes on the receiving end.

Tiger Woods produced yet another heroic comeback by playing the last five holes in 5-under par to turn certain defeat into an amazing win in the Accenture Match Play Championship yesterday.

 Woods mentioned afterwards “I just kept telling myself, even when I was 3 down, there’s still a chance to win in regulation,” Woods said. “I was just going to have to start playing a hell of a lot better. Then all of a sudden, putts started falling in from everywhere.”

“I  had a 15-footer for birdie on the 14th, followed by an 18-foot birdie on the 15th, when he only needed two putts to win that hole.

The first Tiger fist pump came on the 16th when he made his third birdie on the trot to square it up for the first time since they teed off..

A huge roar then went up on the par-5 17th, which Woods prodigiously reached in two with a 5-wood from the rough. And of course he holed for an eagle to lead for the first time in the match, then held on to avoid what would have been a shocking departure.

Holmes, was helpless at the end.

Holmessaid after the match “I got beat playing the best player in the world, 3 up with five to play, I just said, ‘Don’t do anything stupid. Make him beat you.’ And he did.”

Woods shot 30 on the back nine in his first tournament since he shot 31 on the back nine of the Dubai Desert Classic to overcome a four-shot deficit and win his fourth straight official tournament.

“For some reason, momentum just goes your way,” Woods said. “Sometimes the run is early in the round, sometimes middle or late. It just so happened that in the last two rounds, it was late. But at least it happened today. At least I had a run. I wasn’t playing good enough to win the match unless I had a run.”

Whatever woods says about his own play, what now is going through the minds of the rest of the field.

The man is playing with so much energy and tenacity that it will really take something special to topple the Tiger.

Who said the LION was the king of the jungle???

All the best
