Tiger Woods Wins Deutsche Bank

Posted by Mark Barnes Sep 5, 2006

For three rounds of golf at the PGA's 2006 Deutsche Bank Championship, Vijay Singh seemed to have figured things out. He was what appeared to be a comfortable three strokes ahead of Tiger Woods, who entered the tournament with four straight PGA wins, including two Grand Slams.

Woods is treating PGA golf courses like they're cruise ship putt-putt tracks. He punished the field at the PGA Championship, and he won in extra holes, with an amazing shot, in a pouring rain at Firestone Country Club in Akron, on consecutive weeks.

Then, just as Singh looked to have his own game on cruise control, Tiger roared again.

All it took was two eagles in the first three holes at the Deutsche Bank, and the deficit was erased. A few hours later, Singh disappeared and Woods had a three-stroke win -- his fifth straight and seventh overall in the 2006 season.

One has to wonder if there is anything Tiger Woods can't do. When he needs a miracle shot from behind the trees, he makes it. If he needs a great break, after bouncing a ball off of bleachers, he gets it. Fifty-foot birdie putt? No problem.

Tiger Woods is an absolute freaking maniac.

Byron Nelson's 11 straight PGA wins once seemed insurmountable. Not with Tiger lurking through the fairways and greens of the PGA. With Tiger Woods on the prowl, anything is possible.
