Did Woody really say that ?

Veteran golfer Woody Austin has been called bold, cocky,
even brash . Maybe you should also throw delusional into that mix .

Austin turned in a gritty effort staying within shouting
distance of Tiger before finishing second to Mr. Woods
at the P.G.A. Championship.

If his play was amazing on Sunday, so was his post
round press conference.

Woody talked about outplaying Tiger all week long,
even on Friday when Woods fired a 63, tieing the lowest
round ever shot in a major .

On Sunday Austin did beat Tiger by 2 shots, but unless
you're playing along side the world's number 1 ,
dealing with his circus can you really compare scores .

To me its apples and oranges . You have to walk in Tigers shoes
before any score comparison can be legit .
Woody played great, but he also talked way to much .
At one point he said, "All you ever hear about is how unbeatable he
(Tiger) is ."

Earth to Woody! He is pretty much unbeatable, and he has 13 major
championships to prove it . How many do you have Woody ?
At last count I had you at zero.

I thought it was a great finish, the 43 year old with the tropical
printed shirts keeping Mr. Nike from running away with another one.
Woody played inspired golf with so much determination and skill
it was fun to watch. So why didn't he just take the high road.
Tiger Woods is not a creation of the media and he has
the hardware to prove it . Yes , he's human, but he's also
the best player on the planet .Right now he has more major
wins than the top 10 players combined .

At one point Austin was asked if Tiger was the better player,
but he wouldn't even acknowledge that .Woody has 3 wins in a career,
Tiger has 5 victories just this season. So next time Woody,
if you want to say how overhyped Tiger is just go out and beat him first.
It might also helped if you beefed up your own resume' first .
