    Nice to see Tiger being a gracious host, and to hear of the diversion problem. As charmed a life as he seemed to have before the time Elin chased him out with an golf club, his life since then has been filled with problems.

    Hope he is able to regain equilibrium and happiness in his life.

    Hi Tom,
    Justin Thomas won the PGA for one reason–his approach/attitude. he has had the game for a long time now but he used to get mad and show it on every shot or circumstance that did not go his way. he stopped doing that and prevailed. he dad said so much on sunday evening on golf channel when asked what the difference was and he said maturity–he has matured. great lesson–let the bad shot go as quickly as it came……………
    thanks,
    bob

      No doubt about the talent level and the good news is, he won’t be like these guys who change their swings every year and change swing coaches…..I think dad and grandpa have done a great job with him and he appears to be a nice kid…..Justin, Jordy and Rickie are the anti-Tigers as far as the way they go about their lives and the way they treat people.
