Tiger Woods, one of the greatest golfers of all time, is now looking at the upcoming Masters Golf Tournament 2007 after winning The CA Championship at Doral. He won the tournament with such a big margin that there was hardly anyone who could compete with him. The most important thing is that the other competitors have also taken his victory so easily as if they just played for the second place. Baynews9.com reported:
Woods is ready for the Masters, stating so with an emphatic win at Doral on Sunday, when he shot a 1-over 73 and finished two strokes ahead of Wetterich for his 56th career victory, one that earned him $1.35 million and pushed his career winnings over $68 million.
The two-stroke margin doesn't properly illustrate the start-to-finish control Woods had in the final round. He led by six shots after making birdies at the ninth and 10th, took a three-shot lead over Wetterich to the last hole and hit a conservative iron off the tee on the par-4 hole.
"I make five, he can't win the tournament," Woods said, "So I laid up, hit 3-iron off the tee and 8-iron and a wedge and just two-putted and tournament was over."
Indeed, Woods two-putted from 50 feet for his bogey, Wetterich made par, and the deal was sealed. Woods is now believed to be the first player to win a PGA Tour event six times on six courses, is 13-for-24 in World Golf Championship events, and 11-for-16 when the WGC is a stroke-play format.
And if you listened to some of his competitors Sunday, most of the field knew what was coming:
_Ernie Els: "He's always tough. But give him a four-shot lead, then it's really tough."
_Robert Allenby: "I didn't see anyone ever catching Tiger."
_Geoff Ogilvy: "He's just better than us, I think."
_Mark Calcavecchia: "Unless he pulls a Calcavecchia on 18, he'll win by several."
It is true that Tiger Woods could not impress his fans in The Masters Golf Tournament 2006 after losing the title to Phil Mickelson. However, he seems very confident and determined to get the Masters title back. The most important thing is that he is now in a good form and when a player like Tiger Woods is on fire, the others have hardly anything to do.
