What should have been Tiger's victory lap somehow got derailed
JERSEY CITY, N.J. -- The words were spoken a few months ago, in the aftermath of missing a cut, but what Tiger Woods said then seems all the more appropriate now.
"I'm the Masters champion and 43 years old and that's a pretty good accomplishment,'' he said.
It's a shame it wasn't recognized as such back then.
Sure, Woods shares some of the blame for the expectations that followed his unlikely triumph at the Masters, where he claimed a fifth green jacket and 15th major title, completing one of sports more remarkable comebacks from multiple back surgeries, including a spinal fusion that changed his life.
