So last night I'm watching the 15 minute recap of Bridgestone, and they
spend about five minutes going over the top scores of the day. Then
they proceed with a ten minute replay of the PGA and Tiger's win. Even
the wife, who is a bigger Tiger fan than I am, says, "Uh, guys, that
was last week and unless you live under a rock you know that Tiger
won!"
Anyway sandwiched between the normal Tiger praises of David Farraday,
they show some interviews of other players regarding Tiger. Shaun
Micheel says something to the effect that even with Tiger's B game,
other players' A games can't match him. Probably true. But it's the
attitude that most of the players have...that he can't be beaten.
Luke Donald, however, in commenting on Tiger's last round, said, "He
hit some good shots and his putts were dropping." That is equally
true, but it seems to exhibit a different mind set that realizes that
sometimes luck does play a role in a round or too. Yeah, Tiger makes
his own luck for the most part. But I think Donald's attitude doesn't
allow the mindset that the guy can't be beaten to creep in.

the fact that Donalds Sunday reads like another golfing obituary of the
player paired with Woods in the final round of a major, says otherwise.
your attitude is reflected by what you do, not what you say
