Tiger chipped in at 16; a par three. An incredible shot!

Incredible shots?

Hell, it is now almost 16 years of incredible shots since he turned pro in August of 1996.

Hell 19 years if you count the U.S. Open Amateur championships that Tiger won.

Nicklaus won two Amateur championships.

Tiger is in the second to last group to finish 16.

Sabatini is tied with Tiger at the moment and dumps his tee shot into the far right bunker.

Sabatini blew it from the trap and now Tiger is leading at 8 under.

Tiger might pull this out.

In this tournament, a tournament played on one of Nichlaus' 18, there is something at issue here.

Tiger can tie Nicklaus for total PGA tournament wins.

73 is the number. Only Snead with 82 leads the pack.

Everybody underlines how important 'Majors' are when discussing the ubermenches of golf.

But to me this is a big deal.

Now 'world wide'; whatever that means gives the following stats:

Nicklaus: 115 wins

Woods: 130 wins

Player: 162 wins

Snead: 152 wins

(I have not counted senior tournaments won)

Snead leads the pack in the PGA stats with 82 PGA Tournament Wins.

I will do a blog sometime on stats but you must recall that Nicklaus won his last major tournament

when he was 46. (The Masters) And Tiger, however screwed up his body is (which might launch another post) is only 36)

I bring this stat up because in the next 14 years we might see wonders.

I bring this stat up because Butch Harmon was on Charles this week and announced that Tiger would never be able to win 5 more Majors. (I could get into an argument that Tiger only needs four more majors but I will most probably be dead by the time this run is over!)

TIGER BIRDIES THE 18TH!

Sabatini is two stronkes behind looking at the 18^th.

IT'S OVER.

TIGER WINS AND TIES NICKLAUS!

HA!

TIGER WINS MEMORIAL TOURNAMENT!
