Take my question literally. How do you place a bet against Tiger to lose? The odds on him were 12-1. Are you laying 1-13?

It's true, though I find putting rather boring. But when it's literally half the strokes designed into the game, you've got to be good with the wee club to stay on the tour. It's amazing to me that tour players average in the high 20s the number of putts per round.

Interesting blog post that tries to address that quote: http://datagolfblogs.ca/which-is-mor...ball-striking/. Basically, over a longer period of time, it's actually the opposite. That site in general has some great blog posts for those interested in golf and data analysis.

Tiger with a three-stroke lead over the field going into Sunday. Who was the guy betting against him?

Indeed. 12/1 would be looking pretty good here.
Enjoyed watching some of that show today.

I would venture a guess Tiger never lost leading by 3 or more going into the last day.

"He has never lost an official tournament when leading by more than two shots going into the final round, and his closing record with the lead is 42-2 on the PGA Tour." He also never come from behind on the last day to win a MAJOR.
Excellent interviews with Tiger and Rose at link.
I despise watching 25-40 year old guys put but I will make an exception today.
I won't be eating crow today.....too hard to catch. I'm going to make it turtle soup, they aren't nearly as fast or as smart as crows.
