M-M-M-MEL WOULD BE PROUD!

Back in the 70's, Mel Tillis had a huge Country music hit. The chorus line is, "Go on and send me down to Tucson, and I'll get the job done..." Well, Mel would be proud of my man Tiger Woods today after he totally crushed Stewart Cink at the Accenture Match Play Championship in Tucson on Sunday.




But if you don't have time, here are some quotes:

MARANA, Ariz. -- Not even the most unpredictable tournament in golf could keep Tiger Woods from an inevitable victory.

There seems to be no stopping him.

Stewart Cink barely put up a fight Sunday in the Accenture Match Play Championship, where Woods broke a scoring record for the fourth straight tournament, collected his fifth straight victory worldwide and didn't so much as crack a smile when someone asked him if a perfect season was within reach.

"That's my intent," he said. "That's why you play. If you don't believe you can win an event, don't show up."

Relentless as ever, Woods made 14 birdies in 29 holes in the high desert of Dove Mountain to overwhelm Cink for an 8-and-7 victory, the largest margin in the final match in the 10-year history of this fickle event.

Woods captured his 15th World Golf Championship, holding all three world title for the first time.

And his 63rd career victory moved him past Arnold Palmer and into fourth place alone on the PGA Tour's career list. His next victory will tie him with Ben Hogan.

Golf is not a fair fight at the moment.

"I think maybe we ought to slice him open to see what's inside," Cink said. "Maybe nuts and bolts."

Woods already was 4 up after eight holes in the morning when he mentioned that a rules official had just warned them that they were close to being put on the clock for slow play.

"Who are we holding up?" Woods whispered with a bemused grin, noting they were the only match on the course.

"Truth is, he might as well have been playing alone."


M-M-M-Mel only stuttered when he talked...never when he sang. Tiger doesn't seem to be able to get anything wrong in private, or in public (or on the links) these days. Say your prayers boys! This is going to be a fun PGA Tour season to watch!
