Two weeks ago Tiger Woods shot 63-65 in the middle of the Buick Open which enabled him to coast to victory in round four. Last week he shot 65-65 on the weekend to blow apart a quality field in the WGC Bridgestone Invitational, completing the job with one of the best shots of the year - an 8-iron over water to tap-in range. As remarkable as those achievements were, however, it might almost be bad news that represents good news for those hoping for a Tiger win. That might sound strange but consider this: how do you think Woods will react to the fact that last month he missed the cut at Turnberry (only the third time he has suffered that fate in a major championship) or to the plain truth that he is yet to win a major in 2009? Chances are he will be furiously keen to right that wrong. His form since leaving Scotland certainly suggests that he is a man with the bit between his teeth. His record in the PGA Championship is superb: he has won four times including the last two he has competed in (he missed last year through injury). Furthermore he finished second at Hazeltine in 2002 so clearly likes the course. Quite simply, the world number one is the one they all have to beat.
