To Tiger's credit, at least he learned his lesson about what he says to the media. Those comments need to be guarded, just in case your A-game is not to be seen on all 4 rounds. Maybe in Tiger's world of high quality golf, he failed to win and back up his words. But to say he choked? I fully disagree.
Usually when one chokes, he is within one or two shots on the leader board or has the lead and fails to execute a critical put or shot, thus giving the tournament away. Tiger was never that close (look at rounds 1 and 2), but he did miss some earlier easier scoring opportunities that lipped out of the cup. Hats off to the winner Immelman!!!
