Who would have thought it, eh? Tiger Woods taking a backseat to the Walker Cup on GOLFPUNK’S blog, which only seems fair considering what a rollercoaster ride of a weekend McIlroy and co had at Royal County Down. So what’s new pussycat, or should we say Tiger? Well, nothing really… unless you were oblivious to the fact that Tiger was a complete and utter perfectionist.

Striving for perfection is certainly not a bad thing- who are we to argue with 60 PGA titles and the small matter of 13 majors? However, when Tiger goes and shoots a third round 65 at the BMW Championships and is still not completely satisfied, well, that quite frankly takes the biscuit. 65 golf shots, six under par; a figure sculpted in the golfing heavens, reserved for the game’s elite… a mere dream for us mortals.


We think this lad has a future. You heard it here first.

After two opening rounds of 67, Tiger had this to say following his lacklustre 65. “That’s probably the highest score I could have possibly shot today. I felt like today if I could have made a few putts, it could have been a really deep round.” Tiger’s interviewer could only manage the following reply. “You don’t look terribly excited about a 65.”

What’s a 65, however, when you can pull a flawless 63 out of the bag on the final day’s play to take your 60th PGA tour title? There are a handful of things in life that I’ll never quite get my head around; the appeal of rugby, quantum physics and Tiger Woods.
