You know in sports when they say a player has "IT". That certain trait that only few possess and others only wish they could own it. Nadal has it in Tennis, Crosby has it in Hockey, Kobe has it in Bball, David Freese has it in baseball. For whatever reason these guys always seem to come up with the goods in the clutch. Tiger used to have this is Spades but im seeing things that make me feel really uncomfortable with actually believing he can hold it down in a round 3 and especially round 4 and back 9 and it looks like hes extremely fragile.
Just today the dude bogeyed the 18th when he was sitting in the middle of the fairway. He botched his approach shot then hit a pretty horrific putt. You would have never seen him do this on a closing hole when in his prime and the stats even back it up. Tiger had NEVER 3 putted that 18th hole once in his masters career before today.
Theres just way too many solid golfers either right with him at -3 or ahead of him for me to think he can play better then every single one on the weekend. Sure he got extremely unlucky on 15 and came back with a steel brass 5th shot to manage just a bogey but how he played really those last 5-6 holes really gave me cause for concern.
I will actually be stunned if he wins. He just doesnt seem to have the swagger, confidence, nerves or whatever you want to call it right now to win a massive major like this. I will happily admit im wrong if he wins because I will win my future bet but he just seems not all there.
