The Magician Known as Woods




There's something about Tiger's current struggles that makes his game more fascinating and quite frankly...scary! 

The fact is Tiger's driver hasn't been this erratic  since his rookie year on tour. 4 shafts, new heads, the list of mechanical and technical woes goes on but there's that majestic wand he carries that saves him from the depths of golf hell- his wedge!

I don't know if it's just me, but lately he's been phenomenal with his approach shots-regardless of the level of difficulty. From your basic fringe shot chip, all the way down to the hardest shots in golf (i.e., high soft FLOP)- Tiger pulls a rabbit out his hat and everyone's stunned and yet not surprised- knowing that the Magician did it once again.

The European player Alex Cejka's currently in the lead in the 2009 Player's Championship with a 5 stroke lead on Tiger and Co...Can he hold on? Or will Tiger do something brilliant, memorable and magical?
