"Tee to Green" with Gary McCord

(On Tiger Woods' win at Buick Invitational on CBS Sports where he earned his 62nd PGA TOUR title): Let us assume he is going to get better. He's only 32 and just getting into his golfing prime. He is starting to understand his swing and what it can produce. His putting stroke is sweet nectar and his short game connects the dots better than anyone. Nice time to be a golf announcer and not a player. Go get em' guys!...

The win last week was his 62nd, he is only 32. He just tied Arnold Palmer and he was 43 when he won his 62nd. That was his 12th win in California and his sixth Buick Invitational. In his last three tournaments played he is averaging 65.66. All wins. Look out Ben Hogan, you're next…

The U.S. Open is being held at Torrey Pines this coming June. It seems to be his personal playground winning five of the last six Buick Invitationals. The golf course looked like Newtonian physics for the field while Tiger was counting with his toes. It's the Chinese year of the Rat, looks like it should be a Tiger.
