And while I appreciate the way Molinari moved around the course, I wish he had, too.

Tiger carries an unimaginable banner. The hopes, dreams, and expectations are off the charts.
I think that is what is most amazing about him. Other players that play with him get engulfed and can't handle it. And that is a single round. Tiger has dealt with it since he ripped the Masters in 1997.
He plays in a fishbowl every round he plays. He is critiqued on how he tees his ball, and whether he hits a Driver or an iron off the tee.
The guy can't even take a piss without a camera hovering over him.
