OK, so Tiger Woods crumbled with a final-round 75 Sunday at the British\u00a0 Open.<\/p>\n

One of golf’s all-time greats still had a strong four-day run to finish tied for third and his game is still solid overall.<\/p>\n

Tiger Woods<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Although Tiger had a poor day, he is the victim of high expectations as much as anything.<\/p>\n

He may NEVER be a great golfer again, but others would love to have the game this guy still has.<\/p>\n

Although this post doesn’t sound like it, I have NEVER personally been a big fan of Tiger.<\/p>\n

I don’t like that he doesn’t seem to fully appreciate his gift, or really seem to be as happy as he should be or enjoy golfing as much as he should.<\/p>\n

His personal dalliances only furthered what I felt for Tiger and perhaps deepened my feelings, in fact.<\/p>\n

But Tiger isn’t the only person to sin or mess up his life … far from it.<\/p>\n

And as far as golfing goes, Tiger, at 36-years-old probably has more major championships to win.<\/p>\n

I am getting used to that notion, and even learning to appreciate it to some extent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
