Somebody save Tiger from sinking in this bog! The PGA depends on you.

Well Tiger Woods has done it yet again.

He conquered Bay Hill in typical fashion coming from behind and sinking a long birdie put to clinch the win.  Two years in a row Tiger has sunk a birdie to win the tourney.  In addition, he ended his winless streak at a whopping two tournaments.  Not bad for someone that took off eight months to rehabilitate his knee.

It is getting pretty evident to me that this guy either has unequaled talent or some type of advantage in his bag that allows him to pull off spectacular shots and comebacks.  Luckily, Fourth and Fifty was able to get an exclusive interview with Tiger to see if we can nail this down.

Fourth and Fifty:  Congratulations Tiger on your sixth victory and Bay Hill and thanks for spending some time with us today.

Tiger Woods:  Thanks and you’re welcome.  It was one wild and crazy round.

 

FaF: You started the day a few shots back.  What was they key to coming up with the victory?

TW:  Well I got a few lucky breaks.  Those never hurt.  Plus Sean O’Hair started to tank late in the day.  I’d say after he dunked it in the bitch on 16, I was in control.  I think he got scared of my aura.

 

FaF:  Wow that’s pretty modest of you.  But I have to agree.  O’Hair puttered out at the end.  You see what I did with that pun there Tiger?  You like that?

TW:  Sorry I couldn’t hear you over the sound of my money counting machine.

 

FaF:  Anyway, you said there was a little bit of luck in your comeback.  But let’s be honest, your skill has a lot to do with it.

TW:  This is true.  It cannot be denied.  I am the greatest golfer of all time.  But I also have help from my caddie and my equipment.

 

FaF:  Ahh yes.  The equipment.  Speaking of that, on 16 when you hit it so close, what club did you use?

TW:  My 11 iron.

 

FaF:  Excuse me, you have an 11 iron?  I thought sets only went to 9 and then on to the wedges.

TW:  Other golfers clubs stop at 9, but my set is special.  When I need that extra special shot, you know when it is all on the line, I reach for the trusty 11 iron.  Other golfers can’t go that far.  Their sets only go to 9, but mine goes to 11.

 

FaF:  Well why don’t you just use the correct club for the right yardage like everyone else?

TW:  11 just gives you that extra edge.  Whether it be 200 y
