One of the all time great sports finishes just happened

This masters had guys throwing up bogey after bogey and nobody making putts coming down the stretch.

From 2008 to now we've seen Trackman, AI, HD super slow mo, bio mechanics and physio diagnostics, and computer designed golf equipment using materials previously dedicated to F1 cars and space shuttles. Everyone is in the gym, has a trainer, has a coach, has a nutritionist. The young guys coming out all have pefect swings, and maximize every practice session and equipment change using the data and tech listed above. The learning curve is almost non existent and there are clear blueprints to follow. The guys are bigger, stronger, better nourished, better trained, better coached, better prepared... Tiger created that.


Now Tiger comes back, patched up, different swing, different routines, different body, less tools... The 3rd generation of the game he's competed in. And he's contended in the British, the US Open, the PGA, the Players, won the Tour Champ and Just won the masters against a murderers row of absolute assassins. And he did it on the strength of just 1 part of his game, his ballstriking with his irons. Yeah he sunk some long putts, and yes he drove the ball well for the most part... But his putting was pretty sub standard and his short game was average. A guy who had 1, maybe 2 tools working in his tool box just beat a field of modern monsters he is responsible for creating. He makes a few of those shorter ones he missed from the 1st few days and this thing isn't even close going into the final round.
