| Tiger Woods with his AT & T 2012 Trophy |
Tiger Woods seemed renewed as he
interacted more with the crowd prior his win last Sunday. Acknowledging
military officers waiting at the 18th tee and giving cheerful
high-fives to fans are somewhat to the returning tiger of the fairway.
Bo Van Pelt recognized the good play that Tiger has
been putting on this season despite his loss at the AT & T. He notes that
Woods is probably the only player to win three tournaments on different courses
this year. “I’d say that he’s playing the best golf in the world right now.”
Van Pelt said.
A couple of months ago, it can be
recalled that Tiger Woods made a sudden exit from the WGC-Cadillac
Championships due to an injury in his left Achilles tendon. He has recovered
fast and well enough to win a tournament shortly after this unexpected break.
“I remember there was a time when people were saying I could never win again,”
Woods recounted. After Tiger’s AT & T win, a HuffingTon post reported that
he moved to the top spot of the PGA Tour money list as well as FedEx Cup
standing. This ranking is a first in about three years.
This win is like finally lifting
the golfcart covers that hid Tiger Woods in the dark for quite some time. Though he
was sheltered under this protective cover
for the past few years, we all know that he doesn’t belong there. Seeing him
gain focus after his very public downturn in 2009 is wonderful news for all the
golfing enthusiasts around the globe. Woods has always been a champion in the
game and at heart. Having him swing back to the top of his game is a joy to
watch.
“It’s something I’m proud of.” a
thrilled Tiger Woods commented on his 74th win at a young age of 36.
