They say that Bobby Jones played the perfect round in a British Open qualifier at Sunningdale. They say that he hit 17 greens, had a lone bunker shot, 33 putts and 33 shots to the greens. His highest score was a four.

Having inscribed the "Tiger Slam" next to the "Jones Slam" in the annals of history, Tiger Woods has again rewritten the Jones legacy, this time with the perfect tournament. Completing four consecutive rounds of 66, he made a single bogey each 18, seven birdies per round, and 10 pars each day. He hit 15, 13, 14, and 17 greens in regulation (respectively) for the event, and had 30, 25, 28 and 30 putts for the Buick.

Do the numbers equal Jones' one round? Not precisely. Is what Woods did summarily more difficult than his predecessor's accomplishment? Undoubtedly.
