    Hi Tom,
    no doubt he was a great caddy and he and tiger messed. next sentence–there was always something about Stevie that ticked me off–i guess it was a feeling i got that he was a selfish individual like his boss–they did belong together. many instances it became apparent that winning was indeed the only thing that mattered to either of them and when that went away so did their cohesion.
    your thoughts,
    bob
