Tiger wins for the 3rd time at Congressional

[Doomsday101]

BETHESDA, Md. -- The flight of his shot into the 18th green was so pure that Tiger Woods immediately started walking and twirled his club, knowing that it effectively wrapped up another win at the AT&T National. Making it even more special was the sound of thousands of fans at Congressional to see it.

One day after spectators were kept away from the golf course because of debris from a violent wind storm, they returned Sunday in full force and got what they expected - Woods in his red shirt, outlasting Bo Van Pelt in a back-nine duel, and posing with another trophy.

"Yesterday was a silent day," Woods said. "I think everyone saved up for today. What an atmosphere to play in front of."

Woods closed with a 2-under 69 - at one point going 41 holes without a bogey on a Congressional course that was tougher than when it held the U.S. Open last year - and won for the third time this year. It was the 74th win of his career, moving him past Jack Nicklaus into second place on the PGA Tour, eight short of Sam Snead's record.

Not bad for a guy who only five months ago walked off the course at Doral with another injury to his left Achilles tendon.

"I remember there was a time when people were saying I could never win again," Woods said.

He was reminiscent of pre-2009 Tiger Woods this weekend. Looking forward to seeing him eventually break Snead's record for tournament wins and, hopefully, overtake Nicklaus in Majors.

Sounds like he back to his old form

Getting there but the pressure of the majors will still be a hurdle he has yet to clear. US Open it looked early on that he was back to his old form but rds on sat and sun showed much more work needs to be done. Next major up is the British and if the open is true to form being cold, wet and windy he will have his work cut out for him.

And Tiger misses the cut this week.

Still inconsistent.

And Mickelson has been just plain awful.

True but Tiger I can see him working things out, after all he is the only one on the PGA who has won 3 times this year.

Phil on the other hand I have to wonder if the problems stem from having psoriatic arthritis even with the medication you still have bouts with flair ups that will cause pain and make it hard to get in the work you need to when playing at that level not to mention it has a big affect on endurance. Myself I have RA rheumatoid arthritis both are immune disorders with no cure only medications to help treat it and keep it under control to an extent.
