I'm sure they want to win but you have to admit that is uncanny how
these guys never give him a run in the final round.

I kinda doubt it. I always wanted to win more than anybody, but I
hardly ever did, so I think there's more to it than that.

Tiger has now won exactly 30% of his professional Majors.
So are you suggesting he doesn't want to win 70% of the time?

The reason Tiger is undefeated with a lead going into the final round
of a Major is simple. When he's playing his best, nobody can beat him.
Nobody ever.
Hogan could probably stay with him tee to green, but not on the greens.

Also, he has enough control over his mind that he doesn't make bad
decisions when he's playing well with a lead.

front nine of the tournament, and 7 shots worse then his best

I am never amazed at how well Tiger does in the final round of a major,
but it absolutley boggles my mind how these limp noodles fall apart
each time without fail. Its almost like they don't want to win.

It is because they KNOW they can't win.

12 for 12

Did Jack do that?

So far, the answer is no.
