it's a combination of things...he is that damn good. He's one of the best golfers ever, bar none. So you have that, and then in the intimidation of knowing you are playing in a 2-some on the final day with a guy who is not only the best out there today, but knowing that he's clutch when behind and the lead is within reach...

Exactly. He's ridiculous, no doubt. But, all the other golfers are SO intimidated by him they can't play their best. They may not think about losing consciously, but sub-consciously they know they don't stand a chance.

I really think he simply is so consistent that it is so hard to compete. He can go out and blow people away one round but really what he does is consistently shoot 64-67 whereas it seems even the other good players can shoot 64-67 three rounds and 70-72 for one. Somehow he seems to really avoid rounds that take him out of contention.

And I do think the other are intimidated. Think about it. You're leading after 2 rounds but Tiger is 3 or 4 strokes back. Now you know he going to go 66-67 at the worst the next two rounds so you're thinking I can't shoot worse than 68 once or he's right on my ass. Next thing you know you're pushing a little. Then you hear a roar from up ahead and see the leaderboard change and Tiger move up. Now you're just about the crap your pants because what you KNEW was going to happen is happening. Even the best know he is going to push them and no one seems to know what the hell to do when they HAVE to get it done. He is so relentless.
