Go figure: Tiger loves the Buick

Surprise, surprise. Just another win at the Buick Invitational for Tiger Woods...by 8 shots! And he's now won this event 6 times! Hey maybe he gets a big bonus for winning his sponsors tourney..? He also tied Arnold Palmer for 4th on the career PGA Tour wins with 62. Funny thing is, he didn't even play all that well in the final round. Well, for his standards anyway. He was kind of all over the place. Making remarkable flop shots and rolling it decently with the flatstick, he still managed to make 3 bogies in a row on the back 9. Didn't really seem to matter much, as only 7 players broke par on Sunday (Tiger was one of them with a 71). If this is what happens when Tiger comes back after taking months off at a time, then the Tour is in for a long season. Especially when Tiger says he's playing better than he was in 2000 when he had the Tiger Slam. Good thing 2nd place pays pretty well...

At this rate, Tiger will surpass Jack (73 wins) in about two years and Sam (82) in about four. Any bets against Woods hitting 100 wins in his career? Didn't think so...
