Listening to Tiger's Interview after his round on Saturday, there were 2 things that stuck out at me:
(1) He was asked with the state of his game being so uncertain, how was he able to find his way into 2nd place: Tiger's response was "You gotta keep grinding. This course and tournament plays like our 5th major and you gotta keep plotting along."
(2) He was also asked if he feels confident with a wood when he is standing on the tee. Without hesitation Tiger said "Yeah...Yeah..." AMAZING when you think how poorly Tiger has hit his driver!
This brings me to why I believe Tiger is the greatest today and of all time. First, he does not ever doubt himself. Even being 5 shots back, he feels like he could win. That is a great asset to have in trying to develop a Winner's Attitude. Second, plotting along is another Great Asset in a Winner...Never Give Up.
Even when things are going South...Even when it looks like an impossible task...Even when you are 5 shots back, never give up. Because you never know what will happen. All Tiger can control is Tiger and if he gives it his all, he will most likely win, at least 30%-40% of the time.
It should be an interesting final round.
