At this rate, Tiger Woods will easily surpass Jack Nicklaus. Woods won his fourth Buick Invitational Sunday by backing into yet another win.

Jose Maria Olazabal misses a four-footer in the sudden death playof. Rookie Nathan Green looks like a deer in headlights and stubs a chip shot. Phil Mickelson is mired in a three-putt derby. Sergio Garcia implodes.

It's as if no one feels they have a right to win with Woods in the field. This isn't the first time it's happened. Woods seems to win quite a few tournaments, not due to thrilling heroics on his own, but because of nervous breakdowns by his competitors.

This isn't to diminish Woods' formidable talent. It's more of a testimony to his overwhelming presence. Still, I would like to see someone step up to Woods and say, I don't care who you are, I'm going to win this one.
