Previously, he sometimes got resigned to missing shots because he knew he didn't have every shot in his repertoire. He seems to expect excellence every time now, just like he did in yesteryear.

100% agree.
We saw the Tiger of old last Sunday with his HEAD.
He freaking hit it sideways on that front side and somehow put it 3 deep by sheer will and determination. He then stuffed some shots on that backside when the heat was really on.
The crowd was electric, and he swallowed it all in, and performed at a high level like he did in the past.
Koepka was simply better.
But to think Tiger is done, is far from a reality at this point in time. That dude has a mind to compete and will himself to do things that other people simply won't allow themselves to do. He is one of those rare people that gets better when the spotlight is the brightest.
