WGC-American Express Championship Round Four: For Tiger Woods, the eagle doesn't always land

They really will have to name the 18th hole at The Grove after Tiger Woods. The WGC radio guys initially got it wrong in suggesting it won the tournament for Tiger, but they weren’t far wrong - the three eagles and a birdie gave him all but one of his eight-point lead. Shame he couldn’t repeat the eagle on Sunday, but it was getting so dark they could have done with landing lights, and the weather was not at it’s best.

The radio commentators were not the only ones slipping up yesterday. I was a trifle flippant about the weather - rolling thunderstorms in London in early October? Whatever next! I was also way off beam about the three-balls - a case of not at all being myself this morning. I do them so infrequently I forgot they don’t go in-play. Which meant when I went back to play I found myself locked on Brett Quigley, on a day when he couldn’t have bought a birdie for a million dollars. Go on, laugh if you must - and apologies if I left anyone a bit puzzled.

Other than that this was a nice little earner: the lays went down, Tiger won, although I’d partly hedged him earlier, and Jim Furyk duly failed to become runner-up, but again I had partly hedged him overnight to be on the safe side.

So, until the Tour Championship at least, it’s downhill from here. Now, what’s going on in Mississippi?
