Tiger on the prowl

Just when you think you have seen the best a person can play, he gives a surprise. I guess thats what makes them the very best.
I was watching Tiger Woods play Arnold Palmer invitation and he got into the final day of 18 holes 5 shots behind the leader Sean O'Hair. As it is said about Roger Federer, having him opposite the net on a grand slam final is vastly different than having him across the net on ATP tourney, same goes for Tiger Woods. Playing with him on final day is just like meandering ahead of a tiger on prowl.
Like one commentator put it, He is the sun and you are the butter.
Tiger kept chiping into the lead, bringing it down to 3 then 2 and 1. Finally going into lead only to be tied going into the 18th.
Its a fairy book ending to AP invitation tourney and it has been like this for some years.
And just like a perfectly written happy ending movie script, Tiger has a great Tee-shot, Sean O'Hair has an okay one. O'Hair misses the birdie putt and takes a Par. And Tiger sinks a 15 footer putt for birdie for win.
