That putt on the final hole was after all the only putt outside the 20 foot mark that he managed to hole. While this loss in no way means that Tiger will not lay his hands on anymore silverware this season, in fact if anything the upset at Doral would spur him to hunt down the Majors with greater determination but what was really heartening was to see Geoff Ogilvy manage to hold his own really well in that field. More than the final round, I believe it was the third round that was crucial , when Tiger was near the top again, Ogilvy could have easily capitulated under the Tiger pressure, but he seems to have answered Vijay Singh’s clarion call of taking the Tiger by the horns(!?!?). Atleast he seems to have dissipated that Tiger aura that was building up this season and could easily have clouded the mindset of other players. Now they know, Tiger is not practicing Voodoo, he is quite beatable, whether that would happen again this season, well I don’t know but the other guys, encouraged by Ogilvy’s showing would not back down from a fight.
