    He is the greatest player ever...The only time he lost a tourney in which he led after 54 holes was back in 1996.

    Again, taking nothing away from Yang...He played great and grabbed the title...But Tiger clearly screwed the pooch today...Yes, it was a tough day but yesterday was a day Tiger needed to do more as well. On tough days, you expect Tiger to rise above it and play better than he did today.

    He putted terribly today and that was his downfall. He also struggled with the wind all day.
    If there is a kryptonite for Tiger it seems to be the wind. It was windy during the entire Open Tournament and we all know how that ended.

    Exactly, this was always going to be about Tiger losing because he's the greatest ever and had never blown a 54 hole lead. This was a "choke" only because it was Tiger who blew the lead. If the situation had been reversed and Yang came in with a 2 shot lead and shot 75 while Tiger was the one who shot the 70 the story would have been Tiger finally chasing down someone on a Sunday in a Major and not Yang "choking".

    It was windy at St Andrews in 2000 when he blistered the course for the tournament record. Certainly the wind was a factor but yesterday was mostly about the missed putts. He missed at least 5 from inside of 10 feet which is very rare.
